I'm not a graphic whore so I liked them. The controls were good, I didn't have any problem, it's better to play with the Wi U Pro Controller, though. I liked Ivan's voice and most of the other characters. The story was cool, I miss the 80's action movies, Predator, He-Man, the Van Damme flicks et cetera. I'm fed up of the new action movies that are the same.  Yeah, I love B movies, and I loved this B game.

"B-Game" is putting it charitably, in my humble opinion. Fatal Frame is B-Game. Mario Party is a B-Game.

Devil's Third is more like a C-game.

But we're going off topic. Let's talk about the actual thread topic: Tropical Freeze. Now that's an A-game.

In that I completely agree with you. I was one of those few fans that were happy when Retro announced DKC Tropical Freeze instead of Metroid Prime 4.

Me too.

While I understand the general disappointment that surrounded the reveal, I personally wasn't disappointed cos I'm a big DKC fan. Tropical Freeze is still my 2nd favourite Wii U game after Bayonetta 2. :)

It was one of the reasons I bought a WiiU last year. Always loved Donkey Kong Country, but I agree, Tropical Freeze is even better than Returns. I've always loved playing as Dixie though.

Tropical Freeze is my favorite Wii U game, Bayo 2 comes after Xenoblade Chronicles X and The Wonderful 101. I truly hope for DKC The Return of King K.Rool on the NX.

Seriously, you're still hyping that piece of crap? How much is Itagaki paying you?

How much is Nintendo paying you to trash talk it?

 

Yeah, I am still hyping it, especially now that Nintendo found the balls to do a second shipment. Hopefully it sells out week one!

You could be the reason why a poor WiiU owner with a little bit of taste ends up wasting 60$ in a game he is gonna deeply hate. Thats not cool, is borderline trolling, nobody can play that game without realizing that is a big pile of poo yet you are recomending it everyday to everybody.

Nah bro, I am not. I am recommending it because it is a lot of fun as you can see many, many think just like myself. Don't come in here acting like I am deceiving people. By all means, I totally recommend people go buy smash U, Mario U, Zelda U, dkU, etc U. But if you are looking for another game and have already spent your money On the COD twins, then buy this. Game critics are mostly assholes. Not one's on this site, but others. I highly recommend this game more than anything I have played on the Wii U. Best third party game available on the system. Which can be considered sad because it shows how bad third party is lacking. Anyways, I DONT KNOW YOU! DONT COME IN HERE JUDGING ME. I am not here to steer anyone wrong. I know other games I play are crap and I admit it right away.

Ok Ok, sorry then. But really I dont understand what is so special about a extremely generic action game with clunky controls, bad story, ugly graphics, horrible framerate, etc but hey, If it has a niche audience good for it, I just think most people are not gonna like it.

Why would Nintendo pay me to trash talk it? They obviously want people to just forget about it, given how they tried to sneak it out quietly after it was disembowelled by reviewers, and have not mentioned it since. If anything, they'd want me to shut up about it.

And I wouldn't hold my breath for sales to pick up. The game has sold 44k after 6 months in JP/PAL and 2 in America. It's a massive bomb.
