Assume the day before launch. If it's any sooner, you'll be pleasantly surprised, and if it's any later, you'll be too busy playing the game to care. (Obviously nomarkreviewer already implied it would be reviewed before launch, but that's a given, anyways.)
3D World got an amazing apperence for several reasons, but as for this game it will be good now doubt about it, but not "OMG this is the best game ever made!!" good.
I wonder when other gaming sites will post their reviews. It seems like they posted A Link Between Worlds and SMB3DW pretty early.. hopefully we can expect this to come early as well.
Damn it Destinyman, always coming in to post news before me haha.
I read over on Neogaf that the German Gamespot awarded the game 86%. Their two main negatives were "the mine cart levels are too trial and error" and "the pointless Kung Pow move".

I hate seeing stupid negatives like that. Trial and error, really? A lot of things can be considered trial and error. Of course the cart levels are going to be that way or they wouldn't be challenging. The Kung Pow thing (I'm assuming the end of a boss fight) is kind of pointless.. but a negative? I really wonder how much points they knocked off because of these things.
I preordered this game from Newegg for $44.99 and free shipping.. but I'm seriously considering cancelling that and going to pick it up morning of release at Best Buy. Shipping makes the wait that much more intolerable and especially with the weather we've been having recently.. could make it worse. Hmm.. save $5.00 or spend it to have the game earliar.. decisions decisions. >_<
Here's hoping eShop will have a midnight release for this (they had it for Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate and Fire Emblem, so why not this?), then I can immediately purchase it and have the game downloaded and ready by morning.
Reason why I'm not buying DK Country Tropical Freeze, Sakurai's HD Donkey Kong design from Smash Bros Nintendo Direct trailers is more impressive than Retro's final product.

I have no idea on how to respond to such reasoning (if serious).
@SkywardL I bet you denied 3D World if the graphics were horrible huh? Graphics aren't the only thing that make a game good, the gameplay, music, etc, do.
This game is easily one of the best-looking Wii U games to date, so to base your purchase decision on how DK looks is absurd. This game looks fantastic, and I'm sure it plays even better. An 86 is still a great score by any definition, and I'm sure there will be much more of the same from other outlets. Most of the negatives will probably be based around how hard the game is. It's silly, but I'm expecting it to happen some.
My son and I have been going through DKC Returns on 3DS the past couple weeks, and we're addicted. That game is a blast, and we are both excited for Tropical Freeze. It's been near the top of my list the last few months, and it will be the first game we get when we buy a Wii U soon.
I know my statement of deciding not to get the game is controversial. It's not the graphics that I'm turn off. I never did end up getting Returns despite of how gorgeous it was for a Wii title because I'm not impressive of the platforming. The gameplay is slower than the original SNES trilogy.
