@Anti-Matter don’t respect it man just follow your heart ❣ with Nintendo. They are the chosen one with best cute kiddie fun cuddly games. Enjoy

We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.

Great!

Now all those Wii U owners who suddenly got very loud (But not when word of mouth would have helped the console sell I notice) and offended it vanished as a "slap in the face" can go buy this game they spent 4 years waiting to buy, 2 of which were at a reduced price.

And all those people they are telling the Wii U version is cheaper can now go buy a system that has been discontinued for 16 months at a price comparable to Switch all in the name of saving $40 on Donkey Kong!

This entire situation is Funky ridiculous.

Er... what? I just checked the eShop, it's not there even if I search for "Tropical Freeze" or "Donkey Kong". Where are people getting this?

@subpopz
Well...
Because only those PS4 games i have interest about. No more, No less.
And sorry for the same repetition answer again.
I was about to reply 1Up_Mario.

So...

Funky Mode playthrough first? Or normal playthrough first? Each one will unlock the associated time trials for that mode.

I wonder if they put Tropical Freeze back on because of the “backlash” or if it was a honest mistake. We may never know...

@EvilLucario
Might be cause he's in a different region. If it went back up in UK, it's only a matter of time before it does in the US

Also could just be web version

This seems a reasonable 7/10 review of DKCTFS:

http://metro.co.uk/2018/05/01/donkey-kong-country-tropical-fr...

As with many games, if you invest a lot of time in it and begin to master it, you'll love it, but if you're Average Joe looking for something new in platforming for a single playthrough, it possibly won't wow you.

You guys had me at blood and semen.

What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?

Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.

Then that report is false. Old Irishman reported it being back. He's not in the US so, clearly he didn't know this was US only and wrongly reported it being back up.

@gcunit
Reasonable to me would be the consensus, and there are far more reviews giving it higher than 7/10. And too many people saying it's incredible to ignore.

You can cherry pick any review and cite it as reasonable. But imo, calling DKC average is the most unreasonable thing I've heard lately.

Even for a single playthrough, DKC is incredible. Not sure what "looking for something new" means. It's platforming. Not sure how new you can get. God of War doesn't do anything new. Dark Souls was doing that combat a decade earlier. But it's a solid game. Like DKC. It's a solid game.

But DKC is a very special game specifically because no other game feels like it does. Handles like it does. Has the sense of weight and momentum like it does. I could go on, but suffice it to say it's a very different experience than any other platformer offers. If someone wants something "new" that's probably the best place to start.

@Anti-Matter I don't know, what region is your PS4.....did you notice it's the Golden Week sale on the US PSN store? That'll make my wallet cry. Always does.... There's definitely some good stuff there that doesn't come to Nintendo. No rhythm games though that I noticed....

@YummyHappyPills "This entire situation is Funky ridiculous." +1. (Though I do think ongoing support for a console to please owners doesn't cost them anything to keep selling the game for it....it's not like anybody bought a WiiU anyway. I mean even Slig moved on.... )

@NEStalgia
My PS4 is Region 3, Asia Region, considering i live in Indonesia.
But i will not looking any PSN games from PS Store.
Just only the DLC contents for my The Sims 4.
Even there are some a little bit interesting Indies, but i will never want to buy. I will consider the Switch indies games than the PSN version.

No good deed
Will I do
AGAIN...!!!

@JaxonH Ideally I think review sites should split indie and triple A reviews into the 2 different categories because they are different types of games, and a 10/10 for an indie beside a 10/10 for a triple A title looks out of place to me.

@Anti-Matter Ahh...a friend in Malaysia once pointed out that most of Asia actually buys US region (Nintendo) consoles because NCL doesn't handle Asia region (except Taiwan and occasionally S. Korea.) But I forgot that probably doesn't apply to Sony

But yeah, especially indies I prefer Switch.... Still there are some Japanese games that are just tied to Sony (I'm still mad that Dissidia FF NT isn't coming to Switch...it would be so perfect...one of the best local/net multiplayer games I've seen, built for arcade play.)

@JaxonH So true about platformers. The new ones may be cleaner, smoother, better than the 80's ones, but ultimately it's an 80's genre that can't evolve too far by nature. DKC (and Rayman Legends) perfect it more than any others.

@NEStalgia
They really do.

DKC Tropical Freeze (specifically the Switch version) is like the Monster Hunter World of platformers. It's top of its class visually, mechanically, it's challenging yet accessible...

I honestly can't think of a single 2D platformer that's better. I really can't. Take all the best platformers of the modern era, stack em up against Tropical Freeze, and you'll find them... lacking.

The complaints I have with the game are so trivial. Like Dixie Kong typically being the better choice over Cranky or Diddie (but I'm kinda ok with that, since I like the option to go with who you like and adjust challenge to your preference).

Rayman Legends was good, but tbh I think I liked Origins slightly better.

I was wondering the same thing. I never got round to buying this on Wii U so both modes will be new to me. I think I'm going to start with Classic mode because it's the way the game was originally meant to be played and it has more characters, then try out Funky mode when I'm done. On the other hand that seems a bit backwards because Funky mode is easier.

Thank you Nintendo for giving us Donkey Kong Jr Math on Nintendo Music

I dunno. I played it once and I love it. But people are allowed to have different opinions.

It can be a difficult game if you go for 100%, but it's also very forgiving. Level design is brilliant, there are no floating platforms in this game, everything is connected to the background, it's the kind of context I love. The levels in each world tell a little non-verbal story, kinda in the same way Super Mario Sunshine deals with the episodes in each level. And David Wise, what else do I need to say? Hah! One thing is sure, if you like 2D platformers, you should at least give this game a try sometime.
