Topic: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze - OT

Lol that poor ostrich.

@turnmebackwards

It only took you an hour for each world? It took me nearly two last night just to complete world 1, and I still didn't get every jigsaw piece.

Other games such as 101, Pikmin 3, or Mario 3d world may be more original, but upon the first hour of play I can say 100% DKTF is the prettiest game on the system. It's gaw-gee-us.

Well I've not long got my copy of DKTF, I'm just about to play it now so I'll report back later. I know one thing I'll not be disappointed as DK is one of the best platforms out there, and I'm so glad it's got leaderboards.

And we're live in Australia! Now to wait another 4 hours for the download to finish...

Have you noticed all the swimming animations? Donkey's arms waving up and now... the movements he does when he quickly change direction... wow!

I have ton of games that I need to catch up on too. Still have four more worlds on Mario 3d World and a ton to go on Rayman. Take the plunge.... this is a must have- this is why we buy Nintendo.......

I have to wait till tomorrow to get it

I thought I'd attempt my first time attack on level 1.

I was rubbish really rubbish.

I don't think any of you guys are going to have an issue beating my leaderboard times.

This game is great so far...but for some reason I can't hear Donkey Kong in the levels on the TV (Volume is super low)...seems to work fine for the Gamepad. I don't know what's up but I'm missing that slam noise.

Miiverse stamps would have been a better reward for collecting all the puzzle piece in a level.

Still waiting on Amazon to ship this, sill not even preparing to ship

Well, gotta wait till tonight to get it, so....to avoid having any secrets spoiled for me....I'm done here for now. xD (unless I decide to upload gameplay videos on Youtube)

FIGURED IT OUT! Had surround sound on Forgot to change it.

Just been playing for around two hours, and it's excellent. It also has beautiful graphics, I also love Cranky's cane bounce.

So my overall impressions so for is: it's a home run for Retro, excellent game.

Outstanding! Just trying to not go any further than world 2 today, I wanna make it last a few days.

By eck Destinyman, you moved through the game quick!

Played through the first two levels. Really loving it so far. It's my first DK experience outside of the 3D game, and I like it a whole lot more on the big screen. Beautiful graphics, great sound, and so far challenging but not hard. I've died twice but I chalk that up partially to inexperience with the series. It's fun trying to collect the letters and puzzle pieces and coins (not sure what the coins do yet, exactly) and so far half I think 5/8 letters but only one puzzle piece. LOL. Oh, the color manual was a really nice touch with the physical copies. I peeked through a few of my other WiiU games and saw only a couple had color manuals. I really hope those make a comeback. Adds a lot for me as a collector.

Argh! I envy you all who have started playing. This is the last time I preorder something through the mail. I got my order confirmation from Newegg yesterday and it says it shipped yesterday, but my tracking number still shows as if it doesn't even exist. I'm REAAALLY hoping it somehow makes it to my house Saturday, but I highly doubt it. Odds are it will come Monday. >_<

Glad to hear that you're all enjoying the game so much though.. I have no doubt this will be better than DKCR, which was an excellent game.

I'm on World 6 level 7 now & yeah on average hour each world I always look at the daily log see how long I've been playing games. Not been collecting everything.

It's probably taking me longer cos I refuse to move onto the next world until I've found every Kong piece and secret level.

Screw those jigsaw pieces though, I applaud anybody who manages to get all those.
