“ Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze plays just as well on the Switch as it did on the Wii U in 2014 and then some.” “The new Switch release for is easily the best excuse yet to play this excellent and under-appreciated platformer.” The game’s release on Switch this time around brings the original Wii U experience over to Nintendo’s newest console, but with a few added bits and features to make the release worthwhile for those played it on Wii U and newcomers alike, including a cheeky reference to Nintendo’s own new console. Thankfully, that has included Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, and the new Switch release for the game is easily the best excuse yet to play this excellent and under-appreciated platformer.ĭonkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze was previously released on the Wii U back in February 2014 from Retro Studios as a follow-up to Donkey Kong Country Returns, their acclaimed 2010 revival of the classic SNES platforming series, but with a few modern touches. However, if there is one silver lining to take from the Wii U’s demise, it’s the fact that most of its top-quality titles have been brought over to the Nintendo Switch in the past year, giving many of its best games a second chance at life.

The death of the Wii U was one that surely hit hard for Nintendo fans last year, given that the system had a small but pretty passionate audience, and an excellent library of games that came along with it.
