Donkey Kong Country (not including DK spinoffs) - even when you throw Jungle Beat in there, all the DKC games have had excellent fan reception and solid reviews in gaming press.
DKC:TF somehow bore the weight of trying the vindicate the whole damn WiiU all once - hence the lower critic reviews, but just about everyone else who's played it will tell it's even better than DKC Returns.
I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
