That's how I felt about DKC Returns and the NSMB games as well. I recognize the advancements over the original games, but I find the later games lack the magic of the older ones. The DKC trilogy and Super Mario Bros 3 do possess something special. I found the same thing with the original Ducktales and the remake, the remake is just not as enjoyable.

I just started playing World 2 in Tropical Freeze and it does seem like the game is getting more interesting. So I'll give it more of a chance.

I find the NSMB games to be super fun multiplayer, but just so-so single player. I went played some NBMBUD and then switched immediately over to SMB3 on Switch Online and noticed the huge difference in control. The "New" series is so loose in controls, while the old school original 2D mario games were very precise. I think that could definitely be part of why the "New" series doesn't play as well. By the end of NSMBUD I liked it better than I did early on, but by far the most fun I had was the one time I played it two-player and had a blast. I'd say NSMB are mediocre Mario games but fun multiplayer games.

Anyways hoping DKC:TF continues to get better.

Edit: haha just realized I had been calling it Tropical Breeze. I don't even know the name of the damn game!

It really, really does get better. I felt the controls were a LITTLE wonky (That's another thing I Felt the SNES games did much better), and the game is hard as hell, but it's genuinely great.
