That and it sort of gets lost within the sea of Wii U platformers/2D games. Before it was released, the Wii U had NSMBU, NSLU, Mario 3D World and Rayman Legends. Since its release, the Wii U has gotten Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Yoshi's Woolly World and Mario Maker (I'm not even going to list all the indie/virtual console 2D platformers). That being said, I'm not going to criticize Retro's choice in making Tropical Freeze because at the time, it was the 'safe' move (DKCR sold well, they probably had enough ideas for another game and they weren't burnt out on Donkey Kong like they were on Metroid) but I'm not going to call it ambitious -- because it's not.
