Hi guys

I got DKCTF as a Christmas gift after avoiding it since launch. I avoided it because I didn't feel like Returns was all that great. It was only decent at best. I also haven't cared for any of the Prime games, causing me to believe that Retro games, while quality, just weren't for me.

So, my brother and I started playing Tropical Freeze together a couple of weeks ago. Put the game in, started it up and heard "Donkey Kong" bringing back memories of the good times when some games would say the name of the game you were playing at the start screen. We both smiled and went "hell yeah!" Then we started a level, the art style, colorful and awesome, and that music. Damn the music in this game is amazing from beginning to end. Best music of the gen so far, if not one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard in gaming. 

Ok, so the graphics & music are both top quality but what about the gameplay? The levels were challenging, various, and above all fun. Especially under co-op settings. I had a blast playing the game even during the harder sections. Instead of being frustrated when death occurred, I laughed. Overall, the art style and awesome music complicated the game, it didn't make it. These elements came together, blended, to create what is quite possibly the Wii U's very best.

It's safe to say, I expected very little from this game but within the first 10 seconds, it took me by the balls and never let go.
