07.09.2024I didn't buy it because the game looked ice themed. That's the entire reason.
@micabryant4513
07.09.2024The problem is price…im never paying £50 or £60 for it..not on Wii u and not on Switch.
I disagree with your evaluation that its worth that much. Its a 2d platformer so £40 is the roof in my opinion. I dont replay this type of thing so its not gonna last me long

07.09.2024Wtf the bosses would be piss easy if thry had checkpoints, what are you on about?!
@Thelodis
07.09.2024When I bought this game on the eShop, you got a discount if you owned one of the SNES DKC-games. I don't remember how much the game was or how much the discount was, but SNES games was 8 dollars and the discount was in percentage, so I took my calculator to see how much this percentage of this price was. It was more than 8 dollars, and since I owned physical copies of DKC 1 and 2, I bought the third game just because it was cheaper in total to buy both the SNES game and Tropical Freeze than to just buy the latter.

07.09.2024They were pretty Cranky about that reveal
@Ericpmueller
07.09.2024It is such a great game! I’m glad I was able to play it on Switch. It’s my third favorite in the franchise, just behind DKC 2 and 3
@blu3g
07.09.2024I love how this game's re-release on switch basically added a mandatory "Vergil DLC" type thing for $10
@RKIOrbMage
07.09.2024I agree with everything you said
@Jake76667
04.09.2024i feel like metroid prime 4 would of been perfect for the wii u and donkey kong country tropical freeze would of been perfect for the switch
@pissbucketdomi
04.09.2024whats wild is this game is better than every mario game since mario galaxy 2
@TheDunbartxeen
04.09.2024There is a Switch Version?
Well i was just playing some Darksiders 2 on WiiU and Tropical Freeze is a WiiU game like Mario Kart 8 or BotW for me.
@Dogmaguy74
04.09.2024Never played a donkey Kong country before always hated on them for no good reason and funny enough this game and its predecessor fixed my annoyance and yet i never bothered to play either of them. Who even cares about this character?
@braxtonbreda8200
04.09.2024I will die defending this game
@elliotsturtplus340
04.09.2024DK country freeze was a better 2D mario because it didn’t feel like a extended version of the same thing
@MachoDEDEDE
04.09.2024Best game of all time my opinion
@donkeyking05
04.09.2024I am a person with diagnosed depression and not having a new dk game since 2014 is one of the things that upset me most im my life…
@DannysDome
04.09.2024Yeah… I think this game sucks, that's the biggest tragedy
@STAXONDECK1
04.09.2024This was the best Nintendo published 2d platformer ont the system
@Markimark151
03.09.2024I feel DK Tropical Freeze was a good game, but it wasn’t anything special, it’s a sequel to a linear game, not a game like Metroid Prime 4 that Nintendo fans were begging Retro Studios to make!
@SylverstoneKhandr
03.09.2024Tropical Freeze was hard, but fair. It's still the only DKC game I've managed to beat, so I chalk that up to not trying to play it as if it's a Mario game.
@art2norrman872
03.09.2024This game is incredible
@WarioEnthusiast
03.09.2024At least to me, this is the best game Nintendo has ever put their name on.
@flamingscar5263
03.09.2024"Just play the game and try not to think about Mario"
SCOTT, SCOTT, YOU DONT UNDERSTAND, I AM ALWAYS THINKING ABOUT MARIO
HOW DO I STOP I DONT KNOW, THAT DAMN PLUMBER IS ALWAYS IN MY HEAD
@maquiavelmg
03.09.2024if you do not wish to 100% the game, it is not hard.
If you wish to 100% it, goddamnit it is hard
@CheeseMonkey18
03.09.2024I played Tropical Freeze when it was brand new on Wii U.
I liked it. Solid 8/10 platformer.
I don’t understand the effusive praise for it (or the soundtrack) since I think DKC 2/3 are both significantly better. But it’s good! It’s a good game!
(2013 spoiled us with 3D World and Rayman Legends so it just didn’t compare to those.)
@datalphalion
03.09.2024Tropical Freeze doesn’t deserve the hate. Would I have liked a new Metroid Prime game in 2014? Sure. Was I disappointed with Tropical Freeze? Absolutely not!
@achillesrossberg6652
03.09.2024We’re still waiting for Metroid Prime 4
@mystman1210
03.09.2024To add to the tragedy, Tropical Freeze's soundtrack only received one nomination for best original score. Otherwise it was completely ignored.
@dripp_dropp
29.08.2024dkc mentioned goated video
@Bxrry125
29.08.2024Bro how is it a tragedy? It’s literally the best 2d platformer ever made ☠️😭
@F0CKSTR0T
29.08.2024Is there anything about this game that makes the Wii U version superior to the Switch version?
@DragonSkyNija
29.08.2024Even if I like the DKCTF, does it exist one thing I dislike with the game and that is player one most play as DK only, hope they change it in the next game. I know about Funky mode on switch but I and my sis think he make the game unfair for her, so we play classic mode in co-op.
@HazukiHedgehog
29.08.2024i didnt follow the marketing or know about the studio u mentioned at the time but just played it and thought it was ok but id actually like another concept than 2dplatforming, either spiritual successor to dk64 or something new.
@RomeinG.1918
29.08.2024Shocker that this game came out over ten years ago, and I've loved it the entire time. All the elements of this game were made with such care and competence that it just blows every New Super Mario Bros game out of the water. From the intricate, engaging, and well thought through level designs, to the satisfyingly smooth feeling of actually controlling and playing the game; and from the gorgeous, detailed visuals and unique environments that fill me with the urge to jump into the background and explore every single level, to the magnificent soundtrack that adorns the beautiful atmospheres of each level perfectly and is such a blast that myself and others (who have possibly never even played the game) still listen to. Huge shame that this work of art was released so poorly and during such an awkward misstep in Nintendo's history that it went criminally under appreciated. And now we haven't had another Donkey Kong game in ten years.
@chindvictory
29.08.2024You are literally insane my guy, dkctf is literally the best game I have ever played.
@UltraNintendoChalmers64
29.08.2024>Better than DKC2
ExoparadigmGamer would probably disagree with you
@BoxBloxes
29.08.2024Glad you talked about it, it's genuinely one of my favorite games of all time and people look past it because of all that drama surrounding it's release.
@SvetlyootSofia
29.08.2024I will pass video starting whit noisy screaming.
@aaronwilson4504
28.08.2024Gosh dang it this game is so great
@Miguelunch18
28.08.2024Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze is one of my favorite games of all time. It stands easily as the pinacle of the 2D platforming in all history. It's such a shame that this is not talked about as often as it deserves. I would die every day for a new DK by Retro, instead of Metroid Prime 4. Samus can die, if we can have Donkey KING Country.
@rapcap2826
28.08.2024Was going to get the switch version but the Wii u one is way cheaper 😂
@mikew1507
28.08.2024Not a single mention of David Wise's music? Shameful…
@iblitz95
28.08.2024I am happy to say that, after many years, I am now the proud owner of a used Wii U copy of Tropical Freeze! This game rocks!
@drunkemonke1995
28.08.2024I got a Jimmy John’s ad before watching this video
@fleazapp
28.08.2024I played it on WiiU and never heard about this. The game is awesome, I completed it 100%
@fleazapp
28.08.20246:00 games didn't cost $60 back then. $50 was max
@fleazapp
28.08.2024I love Wii U days. frustrating how little games were released, and how underwhelming Directs were. Still, first party titles were excellent, and I had great time with that console❤
@zalden2565
28.08.2024DKC returns was so bland. I was so excited but it felt like a shell of its former self. Soulless and no life. Because of this, I passed on Freeze. 10 years later, after hearing how it’s so much better, I pick up a cheap copy for my Wii U and I wonder if we played the same game? It’s just ok.
Edit: adding Scrooge McDuck was pretty cool though
