I'd like to see what retro could do with a mega man x game.

Nice, glad to hear it.

Please tell me this game removes the annoying waggle motion controls for things like performing a forward barrel roll and ground pound... by far the most annoying aspect of the first DKC Returns.

Nope, still motion control with the Wii motes.

Luckily for you the gamepad and pro controller don't use motion control. ;)

Has K Rool returned yet or are these DC games still inferior?

So a game is inferior because it doesn't have an enemy?...KylieDog's logic I guess

How long are the loading times? Do they really feel that long or are they still ok?

I wrote a little about it here: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6069418

I don't think the loading times are too bad, but they ARE considerably longer than Returns... though the longer levels make up for it. Levels are much longer than in Returns, so while you'll wait a little bit longer than what you did in Returns to start a level, you have much more play time in each level before you finish and go back to the map and select another stage, then you have to load again. It's not nearly as bad as I've heard many people say.

Only thing that isn't too good about the loading screens is that they lag (or freezes? You know what I mean I think) a whole lot while DK and his buddy runs around. That wasn't present in Returns where the loading screens was completely 60 fps silky smooth. But then, the loading screens in Tropical Freeze has much more going on, the backgrounds looks much better now that there are more layers and stuff. Not just a stripe in the middle of the screen.

All in all, I've not complained in the slightest at the loading times. They are longer than in Returns, but you won't see any Lego City loadings here.

As some guy in Youtube said: "Well, that's why it's called Tropical 'Freeze' ".

You obviously could never beat him.

DKC 1 was one of the first games I ever beat...so yeah.

I do mean it! I'm a big supporter of fur. Fur equals purity. And there aren't enough games where you play as animals.

And it really is pretty. Looks awfully well designed. You can ride a rhino! That's straight-up awesome. I mean, no, it's still a platformer and I still don't much care to play it, but I can tell quality when I see it!
