DKC: Tropical Freeze no doubt!

I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

DKC TF is extremely refined. It plays great, it has a great artstyle, and just plain looks great.

If I had to choose something not in that list, It'd have to be Metroid Prime 3. It looks amazing on the Wii even compared to some of today's games, and it has the best shooter controls out of any game I've ever played.

What.

Holy shit XD
Wrong thread :P

Thought so. Is it just me or is this really happening more often lately?

Tropical Freeze. The gameplay, level design, music and look of the game are just top notch

DKC: Tropical Freeze. I'd even take it over Super Mario 3D World, which is saying something.

Not that the other platformers on Wii U aren't great, but Tropical Freeze was special. The soundtrack was just exceptional, it had a fantastic difficulty curve (challenging but never to the point where I'd get totally stuck) and I love the way the visual design tied all the levels together - like the way a lightning storm in one level leads to a brush fire in the next, or the way one world starts with a whole lot of fruit being harvested, then sliced up, and finally made into jelly and jam. It's incredibly varied in terms of the challenges it throws at you while still being one of the most cohesive-feeling platformers I've ever played.

I forgot that. Tropical Freeze's music is damn good, perhaps one of the most catchy soundtracks among Nintendo published titles.

I agree, it's actually one of my favourite soundtracks of all time now.

Especially this stunning piece:

Though headphones that music is just heaven.

Also this one:

This is my favorite from Tropical Freeze:

I've played none of those!!!

2D platformers should be played on handhelds in almost every instance. That's where I play mine.

Play them on the gamepad then ;)
