Such an underrated game

[u/[deleted]]

[u/Broseph_Bobby → u/[deleted]]

Yeah I was kind of confused too because I hear a lot of people say this is one of the best WiiU games.

People talk about the music a lot too.

[u/ordinaryuser → u/[deleted]]

Avid gamer from 1993 to 2017. During the WiiU years, I was onto PS3 and had no idea that this game even existed. I'm sure there's others like me.

Underrated is not the word I would use but I understand OP's intent.

[u/nu11pointer → u/ordinaryuser]

Yeah I had a Wii and skipped the Wii-U, but I have always loved the Donkey King Country franchise and played almost all of them since the Super Nintendo.

[u/ordinaryuser → u/nu11pointer]

I had the Wii as well. Okami, Zelda, and Mario Kart with the wheel holster. Just never bothered with the U.

PS3 was well established at that point, Rock Band and Guitar Hero were all the rage, then moved on to actual games once developers caught up and more awesome games came out. There wasn't a reason, for me, to look elsewhere for console gaming.

Again, I don't think underrated is the correct term. I do agree with "not well known" or something along those lines.

[u/granadesnhorseshoes → u/ordinaryuser]

We even had a WiiU and this is the first time I've seen this game.

[u/Illustrious-Lime-863 → u/[deleted]]

At 83 average from critic reviews on metacritic, it's actually kind of underrated IMO

[u/jajanken_bacon]

Amazing platformer, maybe not underrated but underplayed.

[u/Hym3n]

FIFTY Dollars!

[u/orrfrank → u/Hym3n]

donkey Kong frozen ape?

[u/Dune1008 → u/orrfrank]

It’s really loud in here!

[u/Memes_Analcolici → u/Hym3n]

🏴‍☠️

[u/SkyhookCaviar → u/Hym3n]

I had put off getting it for years because it never drops in price anywhere but I finally pulled the trigger on it at Best Buy about a month ago and I will say it’s definitely a 50$ value. Best DK game since the SNES for sure

[u/Hym3n → u/SkyhookCaviar]

I respect your comment and I'm happy that you got the game, it's great!

However, the post was in reference to the greatest (stupid) YouTube video there is: https://youtu.be/bWu5X4jcvv8?si=EPqwQl8Exc86f1Fg

[u/dollabilllz → u/Hym3n]

Incredible

[u/CAT_WILL_MEOW → u/Hym3n]

Only reason I havnt played it😭

[u/Wagyuplz]

No joke it’s 0+

[u/Zwagmaster69 → u/Wagyuplz]

President joe Biden makes it illegal to not play donkey Kong tropical freeze *gets second term *

[u/Navetoor]

No new DK game on the Switch for its entire lifespan is insane. Nintendo is dropping the ball.

[u/Positive-Education51 → u/Navetoor]

My dream dream dream is a botw style open world platformy/barrelly/jungle paradise dk game

[u/shinikahn → u/Navetoor]

What has retro been doing for the last 10 years honestly? Like I know they're developing Metroid 4, but it's wild their last game came out over a decade ago.

[u/CuddleCores]

Is this game hard, by curiosity?

[u/glob_on_a_knob → u/CuddleCores]

A little. The levels are way longer than i expected tbh.

[u/Subject_Arachnid5292 → u/CuddleCores]

Not really. The bonus levels are a solid challenge. Once you beat it there is still time trials, survival mode (1heart?) and stuff to collect. Not to mention secret levels and all that jazz. It's really a fantastic game if you like the series.

[u/Extra-Use-7754 → u/CuddleCores]

Not too hard to beat, but there are some very difficult (in a good way) bonus levels. Very fun challenge to complete all of them.

[u/Pengin83 → u/CuddleCores]

I got stuck on the second level while I was getting chemo treatments and quit. Maybe my slow reaction speeds had something to do with that though lol

[u/supersaiyandoyle]

I don't think anyone who's played it thinks it's underrated.

[u/AlternativesEnde]

One of the best Soundtracks in Video Game history.

[u/peterosity]

don’t think you understand what “underrated” means

[u/Subject_Arachnid5292]

I don't believe you know what underrated means. The game did very well. Donkey Kong games are never underrated. They're always bangers and we know damn well that they're going to be.

[u/alezcoed]

Where's the new funky mode?

[u/Navetoor → u/alezcoed]

Switch release

[u/hughk14]

Almost as good as country returns, switch needs new dk...

[u/OkCategory0]

the Donkey Kong Country series is underrated in general.

[u/RoachOnDonut]

I waited in line at GameStop on release day to purchase this game. Do you know how many people were in line?

Just me. Line of one 😂

Great game!

[u/-Ginchy-]

Do they have little animal buddies that you find in crates like in the SNES game with the Ostrich, Swordfish, Rhino?

[u/Ralf_9k → u/-Ginchy-]

Rhino

[u/-Ginchy- → u/Ralf_9k]

Aww that’s sad. But at there’s the Rhino.

[u/RhexxaHexagon]

Still the best dk country game imo

[u/mind_mine]

It's on the list of games to get to eventually

[u/WatonWachuchero]

Mad World Wii say hi!

[u/Beeg_Bagz]

It’s so good!

[u/jfoss1]

I mean, it was thought highly enough of to get a switch port. I'm still, however hopelessly, waiting for a Windwaker HD port

[u/BirdjaminFranklin → u/jfoss1]

Windwaker HD

So many people skipped the WiiU. The fact they didn't at least do a digital port of WWHD is infuriating.

[u/jfoss1 → u/BirdjaminFranklin]

Missed the perfect chance to release or at least announce it during zeldas anniversary stuff

[u/ace23GB]

When a game is underrated at first, sometimes time does the work, maybe in 10-15 years it will be appreciated.

[u/Funcestor]

Not treally underrated, the reviews are great. I think you meant "overlooked"

[u/osawatomie_brown]

"overlooked"

[u/nealmb]

I don’t think it was the game as much as the platform it released on. The Wii U wasn’t the best, and most people avoided it. It was ported to the switch, but yea Nintendo not doing price drops is also not doing it any favors.

[u/Accomplished-Door272]

Underrated =/= good

[u/SiyoSan]

Dropped. Normal mode was too hard and funky mode too easy.

[u/ZEAC2001]

The game is very fairly rated, everyone that played it as far as I know loved it, just under recognised due to being on a dead platform. There's a big difference. But I understand what you're saying. Although it gets the love it deserved it will never get the success it deserves.

[u/AlternativeResort477]

Donkey Kong frozen ape

[u/Ralf_9k]

I love this game!! Specially the switch version

[u/ThousandTroops]

Wife loves this game so much - she used to tell me she “would only play donkey Kong” and I got her this one for Christmas. She played for about 20 hours total, but they were fun hours. It was good to see her game, especially since I do it so much…

She doesn’t anymore, on account of our kids hijacking the Switch, but maybe I’ll try to get her back on it.

[u/NavelGames]

it has such diverse level design and just keeps you on your toes about what will come next

[u/Current-Key-3233]

And I'd say one of the hardest to beat that I own!

[u/Alarming_Band_5928]

I remember playing that game it was way more fun then I thought it would be

[u/Jack-Innoff → u/[deleted]]

Bad bot

[u/NoMistake4100]

Now sell me on why I should play Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, but only using lines donkey Kong has said

[u/nicky9pins → u/NoMistake4100]

I’d shower you with coconut cream pies

[u/OtterPops89 → u/nicky9pins]

If this doesn't sell you on the game you might be the boring one.

[u/NoMistake4100 → u/nicky9pins]

I’m sold

[u/Ididotmacaroon → u/NoMistake4100]

“We’ve gotta save Kongo Bongo Islaaaand!”

[u/notofuspeed]

Never head of it, looks cool! I remember the old SNES game only haha

[u/Stillback7 → u/[deleted]]

Make way everybody, this guy plays PC, so now he apparently has to tell everyone about it.

[u/Stillback7 → u/[deleted]]

Yes, I legitimately like all of those things. Do you think that's bad? What are you, 14? Lmao

Also, you may not be aware, but it's entirely possible to enjoy PC games without letting the whole world know that you play PC. Just FYI since you seem to be struggling with the concept

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

User name says friendly.

Definitely doesn't check out
