I look forward to it.
Oh wow really. Ok that was quicker then I was expecting.
I need it... need a Wii U first though =(
Yes I will wish for this with my wallet!
I'll get this after my birthday then
I'm glad it's at least coming soon. But if five years go by and Retro announces DKCR3 I'm flipping out.
My Wii (and with it the save file) got stolen so I haven't beaten the first one, but I really liked it and will definitely be getting this one sooner or later.
Think I'll get this along with Mario 3D & Watch Dogs for Christmas
must have
It will be a nice Christmas present if I can resist buying it on day one
This and Zelda in the same month? What a great birthday gift. Thanks, Nintendo!
There's absolutely no way I can resist a day-one purchase. NO WAY. I'm so insanely stoked for this game, it's ridiculous.
Will definitely be picking this up if I have a Wii U at the time.. maybe black friday I'll pick up a Wii U and this plus Wind Waker for a worth while deal.
SO EXCITED. I can't wait to experience dat dynamic camera first hand.
If a 3DS stops working and you send it in for repair, are the digital games still saved? With their save data you progressed too?
Day one buy.
I'll have to try the original for the Wii by then.
I'm a happy boy
@Funny_Moblin If they can repair it, then yes. If they can't and replace it instead, like mine, then no. That's why Nintendo needs an account system. If my iPad stops working and I buy a new one then I can just redownload everything that I've purchased before. My 3DS just randomly stopped working a year ago and it couldn't be fixed so they replaced it. I made sure I keeper my SD card and everything but didn't matter, I lost everything.
This looks so Sweet!!! Can't Wait ... Till its On like Donkey Kong!!!!!!!
YES PLEASE!!!!!
DK get sum Love this year
Happy Thanksgiving to me!
@MeWario Thank you for the explanation, I'm sorry for your loss of games. I was on the fence of getting Animal Crossing: New Leaf digitally, but maybe I shouldn't. Probably a guarantee that you'll keep a game forever is better than convenience.
@Funny_Moblin I've been tossing up for ages about that myself! There has been some news that Nintendo are finally sussing out an account system so it might be worth the risk. Animal Crossing is made to be on the system all the time Only other problem I have with downloadable games is that you can re-sell them. I downloaded NSMB2 because it was way cheaper of the Spain server then here in NZ, but, it is such a disappointing game (worst Mario ever, in my opinion) and I'm stuck with it. Sucks because Mario games always sell for lots. (I would never sell Animal Crossig btw)
Two days ago, I thought my wallet would get a break in November. It seems that is not the case anymore. Maybe in July...
November:
DKC:TF
Zelda:ALBW
Mario Party
Crap.. And that's just November's bank breakers...
Day one for me. Retro has never let me down.
@MeWario Yeah, I understand Animal Crossing is the one game to have at all times, but I'm not taking any risks. Whenever Nintendo decides to implement an account system, I'll be ready to use my friend the Data Transfer Tool (I know you have to pay for the game digitally again, but I'm glad the option is available at all.)
"Will Donkey Kong Country Returns: Tropical Freeze be on your wishlist this Christmas?"
It already is! lol
@Dev Me too!! I thought they already said November but when they said late 2013!!!
That's good. Hopefully it wont be too long before Retro are sent to work on another Nintendo Franchise.
I will be getting this one for sure. One of the few games I'm interested in that were announced as it is 2013 and not over a year away.
@Funny_Moblin @Dev can you guys also work out when Mario Kart 8 & Smash bros are coming out?
THIS will definitely be a day one purchase
Re-releasing the first game on their crazy popular 3DS, and then half a year later release a gorgeous sequel for the troubled Wii U.
Configuring the new Mario game for Wii U to closely resemble an upgraded version of 3D Land, one of the fastest selling 3D Mario games.
I think these guys know what they're doing. They want all the people with a 3DS to long for the Wii U.
Wasn't expecting this from Retro but now that I've seen it, I'll be definitely getting it this November. Looks excellent.
Day One for me also, I'm one of the few/minority that was happy Retro made a new DK game rather than Metroid Prime, not the biggest fan of Metroid Prime myself, but, believe it or not DK was one of the games I was very much hoping for.
So hearing "Tropical Freeze" is on the way later this year was music to my ears, I think the game is looking great!
I want this game: looks better than Super Mario 3D lazy excuse for a Mario game World. :3
Day one, the fist one is my favorite platformer on the Wii!
Noooo around the same time the PS4 releases, i'll have to but money aside for Donkey Kong Country Returns: Tropical Freeze, wether i play it in Nov is another thing.
mario 3d can wait. this go first. and the new Yoshi too.
i want all the games lol
@MadAdam81 I have a feeling it will be April of 2014...
Now where to get a wii u from seriously i loved the DKC:R
All ready on my wish list, the game looks ace,
It's ON!
Like Donkey Kong.
It's ON!
Like Donkey Kong.
