Same here it's nice to see these games getting ports. I didn't get the Wii U and I don't plan on getting one either. I will be picking up this game since I never got a chance to get it. Seriously need some metroid on the switch though.
Prime 4 on the way! Tropical Freeze is great fun tho. I beat it on Wii U. It's a very challenging & impeccably designed platformer (no Funky). easily one of the best ever made, with a superb soundtrack and memorable boss battles. You really can't go wrong with the game.
I just bought it! and I love it :) I've never played the game before, as I never owned a wii u! it is turning out to be One of my favourite games on the switch.
Its better than DKCR. I love playing as Funky and want to play normal mode as Cranky. Im looking forward to playing Crash and Octopath Traveler the most or even looking forward to when Dark Souls gets released.
I'm jealous of people who haven't played this game before because they are in for a really great treat when they start playing it for the first time! :) I enjoyed this game on the Wii U. The levels are amazing!
Don't be jealous. This isn't even a good game. I beat this a couple of days ago. Got every letter, unlocked the bonus levels to do those as well. A lot of the levels are long, they feel like a chore after you beat them once. Dk 1 & 2 are way better than this if you played them on the Snes.
Completely agree, I tried so hard to like it. There is a good game in there, it was just completely ruined by those controls. It would take some work to retool it, but I think it would sell well enough to be worth it.
I honestly think underneath the terrible controls, Star Fox Zero was garbage to the core and it's all because they were trying to make it resemble the N64 game. Half the game is on rails, and when you are in free range mode, you're confined to a tiny battle space. Why was a 2016 game confined to the limitations of the mid 90's? I'd love to see an all new, fully modern Star Fox, but Zero was a total dead end.
On the Switch? It's gorgeous! (I never had a Wii U).... well worth the £40 retail for the cartridge (aprox $50-ish)..... apparently smoother framerate (60fps constant)/gameplay and a higher resolution too over the Wii_U version..... it's a lovely Switch game!
I had this on the Wii U, then decided to upgrade to the Switch. But...best part? At my local game shop that gives GREAT trade-in credit, I practically got DKC Tropical Freeze for free with all the stuffs I traded in and still have credit left over. Good times. \m/\m/
It is super cool that more people can enjoy this amazing game but personally I own a lot of these rereleases on the Wii U and I can’t justify buying these games over again and at full price at that.
I have Tropical Freeze on the Wii U and beat it but I would like it on the Switch. I definitely will wait for a price drop. Thanks for the video buddy!!
The channel is getting better and better I like it the more I see it, probably my complain is the intro but definitly is getting very polish since you went PRO with youtube, WELL DONE!!
I will say I kinda wished we had something more with this game: - A Diddy / Dixie / Cranky mode - An actual tagging mecanic like in the old games - Online leaderboards for the time trials - Remastered DKCR levels - New levels - Nods to other games, like K.Roll ship or Jungle Beat's bosses.
Well you can play as any of the kongs on hard mode, and there is a leader board where you can see other peoples time attacks for any stage. As for the rest it would be nice.
13Gangland yes! I’m glad DKCTF is selling well, if would had known the WiiU was going to fail then I would had waited for the next console (Switch) If you haven’t played DKCTF is a must buy! Like this is part of the essentials! Lol
Loved this game on Wii U, I love it even more on the Switch. Of course I'm biased though, because I've been a huge DK fan since the '90s. The shorter load times and portability factor alone were worth the upgrade for me. Funky Kong as a playable character was just a cherry on top.
I’m a huge Donkey Kong Country Fan and I’m not buying the game... but I will when it drops in price or is on a good sale. If I didn’t own a Wii U I wouldn’t hesitate to buy it.
Well if the this game was packaged with DK RETURNS than I would’ve gave it a second chance on the switch, but nope, not buying the same game twice and it’s more money this time.. they did it with Bayonetta, u got u 2 games for price of one basically.. DKTF is an awesome game tho, I love to play on my switch but not for $60.. Ports is expensive I tell u geez.. thank god I still have my Wii U, saving me a lot of money..🤣👍🏽👍🏽
ShiftNBXX them prices is ridiculous I meant.. honestly I haven’t bought any Wii U ports.. they’re over price.. now other port from systems be cheap that’s coming to the switch..
I got tropical freeze for “free” on Wii U thanks to nintendo club rewards so I don’t have this issue. Although they should have cut the fucking price to 40bucks.
Are you interested in getting the Satisfye Gaming Grip Pro for the switch ? Once i discovered it i got allot more interested in playing my switch in handheld mode. So of course that meant i got allot more interested in double dipping with tropical freeze, Crash Bandicoot and hopefully Resident Evil 4 one day.
I had a Wii U but never played this game. Picked it up for the Switch and oh my God it’s awesome! I actually can’t put this game down. Nice addition to the library!
I have DKC Returns on 3DS and Wii but didn’t ever have a Wii U. Just got this game on Switch and after being a original SNES DKC Fan I was wondering if tropical freeze was a good buy at $69AU.
If the game was full priced the same as the original Wii U pricing @ 50$ I could have justified the purchase since I haven't owned the game on the Wii U but jacking up the price with nothing really new other than Funky Kong, nah. I will wait for the price drop because of the principle. Now if they would have included a Funny Kong Amiibo I would have been down.
Cassie Fox Wii u version is $20 USD. It came out on Nintendo selects. No friggin way I'm paying more money for a game o already own. I don't think funky kong is worth the extra money
I really enjoyed Donkey Kong country returns on the wii. But I haven't played the tropical freeze game yet, and I'm wondering if I should buy. Because I don't know if the game is worth it.
Also the game has anti aliasing in handheld mode (or maybe it's 1080p downsampled to 720p which gives some anti aliasing), not sure about docked 1080p anti aliasing as I only play my Switch in handheld! Beautiful game!
I have this for the Wii U and never beat it. In fact I stopped in the second world and don’t remember why. And now my Wii U is sitting dusty and I haven’t played in over a year. I decided to pick this up. Had some Best Buy points, for it for about $45. Already in the second world and it is really fun!! Plan on beating it soon. Good video !
Probably because the levels in this game feel like a chore & aren't as fun to play them. I beat this on the switch a couple of days ago, I felt like once I had beaten this, there was no need to go back to this game & collect everything.
I own a Wii U still and I “used” to own this game, traded it in, but I still purchased this game. I had no type of motivation in picking up and gamepad and playing it on my Wii U. My Wii U is basically just a Smash Machine. Only reason I still have it.
I'm very happy that Tropical Freeze got ported on Switch. I double dipped on this game and Its really fun and challenging and it deserves a lot of love. Guess you could say this game got FUNKY!
Due to the bad timing of Wiiu version it got put on the buy later list , Iv been replaying dkcr3d and it's got me wanting more, I was just going to get Wiiu version but knowing my luck dlc will happen, it and something that ties into the new online plus added future support and the whole anywhere anytime with anyone is a great addition because dk3d is one of my favourite on the go games, Iv been shopping around and with best price in mind it's £20 more than wiiu double but the home and handheld is kinda 2 in 1 and video sharing of your slick tricks , Do I just pay the extra, I'm thinking dlc will happen as even Mario kart dot a substantial amount hyrule is unbelievable so are the upgrades worth it especially loading and any thoughts on dlc? Just seems bare considering nintendo and how been handling ports
So it seems if I have never played this game & don't own a WiiU, I should definitely pick it on Switch .. ? I still find the game a bit expensive, might wait until I find a good deal online.
I had it on Wii U. Good game, but not paying $60 for it. At the time I paid $40 and I was content. I'll wait for a price cut. I do wanna play it over and complete it entirely. But I can wait for the inevitable sale.
I have for the Wii U and never played it. I picked it up for the switch, and I am not disappointed at all. It is really fantastic. I regret not playing it originally.
Dont feel bad, I...have it 3 times, got it for free on the eshop before club Nintendo closed down, then bought it physical for 12, and yesterday i went to target, and you know you dont decide what to buy at target, target decides what you buy at target.
I am one of the surprisingly many people that didn't have a Wii U. I picked this game up after playing through Kirby Star Allies. I returned that game because, it's not that it's not a good game, it was just kinda the same Kirby game we've all played: easy and kinda boring. It has some good content like 4 player co op and some other modes to it but nothing really stood out to me about the game besides the pretty epic finale with the 5 or 6 different forms of the final boss and the big shoot out/button sequence at the end. Anyhow, picking DKTF up for Switch is probably a waste of money. The game is not bad, let's just get that straight, there's just not enough in it to warrant a full $60 purchase if you've played it before. Pokken Tournament DX added in DLC characters, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe added in more characters. Those IMO are somewhat more worth it in terms of ports. I was excited for DKTF and played through most of DKR a couple days beforehand. Great game, no water levels and only a couple of mount-moments in it but still a nice return to form. People want that game bundled with DKTF for Switch and while I understand that it's really not necessary. One of the main reasons DKTF isn't worth it to me is because it's basically a upped graphics version of DKR. Same gameplay, same loading transitions, same (but slightly retuned) music, same engine, same layout, same everything really. If you have a modded Wii U that'd make the purchase of the Switch version even less worth it but I know we're not supposed to talk about that. Overall, I don't hate my purchase but I feel like I could have spent my money a bit better on something else(if the Switch's library was a bit more robust) and just played my DKR on my modded Wii, got about the same experience, and not purchased this.
I got the Wii U version ( got it used on GS during one of those buy 2 get 1 free sales) and still got the Switch version ( preordered games with Amazon Prime are always 47.99). Funky Mode makes it worth the buy imo Now Nintendo please bring us New Super Mario Bros All Stars with all the New Super Mario games.
In my opinion, I won't be getting this game. I didn't know Funky Kong would be an easy mode. Gamers like myself don't want an easy mode. An easy mode is a turn off. I understand the counter argument that easy mode is optional. But, I don't like that an easy mode is there. It's existence bothers me. Either you play the game without easy mode or you don't. So the fact that Funky Kong is in an easy mode is bothersome. Also, a new playable character isn't enough for me to buy the game. I rather have new world's and new bosses. That would be great. I am just speaking for myself and for people who agree. If you disagree, fine. I respect that. I also have an issue with the jigsaw pieces. Unlocking new art and trophies is a bit cool. But I would rather unlock unique and cool levels. Edit. The game is great. I love it. But I am not going to buy it again. Maybe in the future I will. If you love the game or haven't played it, then i recommend it if you like a great platformer. I'm jealous of people who haven't played this before because they will have a fun time playing this like I did on the Wii U. :)
I own a Wii U but I just never got around to this game, kinda the same way with Splatoon, but when we got our Switch, I figured now is the time to check out both Splatoon 2 and this game
By comparison: “Donkey Kong Country Returns” on the Wii is a great game but the later levels got so difficult I never beat it. A few years later, I picked up the 3DS port (at a discounted price), which added an “easy” mode. I still found the game challenging, but with the extra hearts/lives I was able to play through the entire game and enjoyed it greatly. So, it was definitely worth the double-dip on the first game. As to “Tropical Freeze”, my Wii U version is still in the backlog, so I won’t be double-dipping...yet.
Never owned a WiiU, but I just bought tropical freeze for $50 on the switch and I love it. . Definitely frickin tough as nails playing it on original mode, but it's absolutely beautiful and easy to recommend. . DK returns on the 3ds was the first DK game I ever enjoyed enough to beat, so when I learned that tropical freeze is like that, but better, I knew it would be in my collection eventually. . It's really refreshing to see just how much love they put into making this game. . Also, did I mention that tropical freeze is super doops hard? 🤪 lol!!! . . It's not like hollow knight status, but I'm 36, I've played 2d platformers my whole life, and holy crap this game makes my hands sweat. Haha!!
Never owned a Wii U, so I’m super stoked to finally play this, should be gettin mine next week. On a side note, wouldn’t it be awesome to get a DKC 1-3 remastered collection on the switch?? That would be dope af, and throw DKCReturns in there too for good measure.
I really wish they would have added the other game 'Donkey Kong Country Returns' aswell in the Switch package of Tropical Freeze. Either way, I've seen the Digital Foundry video and can honestly say that I WILL be getting it for the Switch. :) (That's when I eventually folk out and buy a Switch that is haha). Bottomline, get the Switch version!.... It's better in every possible way. It's the definitive version now.
Shawn I can't remember if you ever mentioned this game but if not, Jotun recently released and it's pretty great if not a bit short. The hand drawn graphics are beautiful though. If you haven't played it you should check it out.
Holy crap, RGT finally cut his hair. IMO, though, should you upgrade??? If you already own it and beat it on Wii U. I’d personally wait for a price drop to $40 or less. If you’ve never bought the original tropical freeze on the Wii U, However, then it’s worth buying.
I beat it on the Wii U years ago when it originally came out. I agree, this definitely does not seem anywhere near worth the upgrade if you already bought it on the Wii U. And if someone owns both systems I would actually recommend the Wii U version over the switch version because the Wii U version is $20 because it was one of the Nintendo selects near the end of the Wii U's life. You can literally buy three copies of the Wii U version for the same price as one switch version.
The irony being the video is meant for the small consumers that bought the WiiU version around 1 million. Whereas the Switch has 20 million, meaning possibly 19 million and counting have not played the game.
It's not worth the double purchase. Especially at triple the price, or 10 dollars more than the price 4 years ago... Especially since Nintendo is reporting 7 year record profits...
Glad it's on the Switch since I never owned/touched a Wii U ever. Quite expensive for a port though. It looks and runs amazingly in both modes and I got it for 44$ tax included so it's not too bad. Still I think it should have been 39$ to begin with.
I enjoyed the jump cut to the Switch version. Good stuff and a great review! TF is an excellent game, but I definitely can't justify the double dip. "Billy Mitchell, holla at me" :D
6 лет назад
I was wondering exactly that today... I know I will buy Hyrule Warriors again for the Switch but DK? ..not sure.
Since I totally skipped the Wii U, I'm thrilled to see all these games being brought to Switch
Leonard still waiting for SM3DW and NSMBU
Same here it's nice to see these games getting ports. I didn't get the Wii U and I don't plan on getting one either. I will be picking up this game since I never got a chance to get it. Seriously need some metroid on the switch though.
Prime 4 on the way!
Tropical Freeze is great fun tho. I beat it on Wii U.
It's a very challenging & impeccably designed platformer (no Funky).
easily one of the best ever made, with a superb soundtrack and memorable
boss battles.
You really can't go wrong with the game.
Leonard why Tf would you skip the wii u
Same here.
Don’t blame us for you wanting to buy DKTF 😂 we all know you wanted to play it again
Can't believe this comment didn't get a pin.
I just bought it! and I love it :) I've never played the game before, as I never owned a wii u! it is turning out to be One of my favourite games on the switch.
Infinity Dave same
Infinity Dave same here. Never owned a Wii u but picking up a switch copy.
thats so true. same here
I love the original DKC, so I think I’ll pick this up and love it, too.
Will this game make you go bananas?
It'll make you go ape.
what you taco bout?
Lol that joke brings out the kid in me again lmfao! 😂🤣
I never picked it up on the Wii U so I got it on the switch
Ashley and Lancelot Show same
Ashley and Lancelot Show same, its your first time like us, it is entirely worth it
You ever fixing your shelves?
Its better than DKCR. I love playing as Funky and want to play normal mode as Cranky. Im looking forward to playing Crash and Octopath Traveler the most or even looking forward to when Dark Souls gets released.
Yeah I'm lookin forward to Crash too. I skipped it on the PS4.
I'm jealous of people who haven't played this game before because they are in for a really great treat when they start playing it for the first time! :)
I enjoyed this game on the Wii U. The levels are amazing!
Don't be jealous. This isn't even a good game. I beat this a couple of days ago. Got every letter, unlocked the bonus levels to do those as well. A lot of the levels are long, they feel like a chore after you beat them once. Dk 1 & 2 are way better than this if you played them on the Snes.
I am hoping Star Fox Zero gets a port and adjusted for the controls
Completely agree, I tried so hard to like it. There is a good game in there, it was just completely ruined by those controls. It would take some work to retool it, but I think it would sell well enough to be worth it.
I do like Star Fox Zero and enjoy playing it but yes the controls make it a bit more challenging.
Nah, that would be too much work. That time would be better spent making a new iteration.
I honestly think underneath the terrible controls, Star Fox Zero was garbage to the core and it's all because they were trying to make it resemble the N64 game. Half the game is on rails, and when you are in free range mode, you're confined to a tiny battle space. Why was a 2016 game confined to the limitations of the mid 90's? I'd love to see an all new, fully modern Star Fox, but Zero was a total dead end.
So you want it to be like Starfox Assault, ressljs?
How can people buy the same game? Is like they are idiots....mine arrives tomorrow.
Idiots, on the go, now.
Ivan Ramos for the same reasons he mentioned
I just spit my coffee out.
Ivan Ramos lol
I mean, it does have higher res and a few new additions. Short answer: if you haven't played before, totally
I'm having a blast at least
On the Switch? It's gorgeous! (I never had a Wii U).... well worth the £40 retail for the cartridge (aprox $50-ish)..... apparently smoother framerate (60fps constant)/gameplay and a higher resolution too over the Wii_U version..... it's a lovely Switch game!
Everything is worth playing on the Switch, because then you can play it on the toilet.
The best point I have seen!
Idiots then u get hemroids
...
You can do that on the wii u as well
I had this on the Wii U, then decided to upgrade to the Switch. But...best part? At my local game shop that gives GREAT trade-in credit, I practically got DKC Tropical Freeze for free with all the stuffs I traded in and still have credit left over. Good times. \m/\m/
It is super cool that more people can enjoy this amazing game but personally I own a lot of these rereleases on the Wii U and I can’t justify buying these games over again and at full price at that.
I have Tropical Freeze on the Wii U and beat it but I would like it on the Switch. I definitely will wait for a price drop. Thanks for the video buddy!!
JLuv81 $40 on eshop right now
RGT85, you look baked in this video bruh.
It's as if he wasn't even trying in the other videos.
Does my switch need the expansion pack?
Where did you get your T-shirt bro?
The channel is getting better and better I like it the more I see it, probably my complain is the intro but definitly is getting very polish since you went PRO with youtube, WELL DONE!!
I will say I kinda wished we had something more with this game:
- A Diddy / Dixie / Cranky mode
- An actual tagging mecanic like in the old games
- Online leaderboards for the time trials
- Remastered DKCR levels
- New levels
- Nods to other games, like K.Roll ship or Jungle Beat's bosses.
Well you can play as any of the kongs on hard mode, and there is a leader board where you can see other peoples time attacks for any stage. As for the rest it would be nice.
65 dollars tells no no,especially since i played it. Thats the issue right now with the switch is the price of these re releases
Hey RGT 85, here is Mussa from Brazil. Dude, I love your channel. Just bought Tropical Freezer and I think It is awesome. Great game and great review.
Great game, love it but I’m not buying it twice...
Should had put DKC returns in a download code then yes but nope.
That would have been a good idea
RGT 85 just like bayonetta did!
luisfernandolt Oh well, it's a good thing most is us never bought the piece of crap Wii u.
13Gangland yes! I’m glad DKCTF is selling well, if would had known the WiiU was going to fail then I would had waited for the next console (Switch)
If you haven’t played DKCTF is a must buy! Like this is part of the essentials! Lol
That would have got me on board for a double dip, even though I own TF and Returns.
Loved this game on Wii U, I love it even more on the Switch. Of course I'm biased though, because I've been a huge DK fan since the '90s. The shorter load times and portability factor alone were worth the upgrade for me. Funky Kong as a playable character was just a cherry on top.
I’m a huge Donkey Kong Country Fan and I’m not buying the game... but I will when it drops in price or is on a good sale. If I didn’t own a Wii U I wouldn’t hesitate to buy it.
Well if the this game was packaged with DK RETURNS than I would’ve gave it a second chance on the switch, but nope, not buying the same game twice and it’s more money this time.. they did it with Bayonetta, u got u 2 games for price of one basically.. DKTF is an awesome game tho, I love to play on my switch but not for $60.. Ports is expensive I tell u geez.. thank god I still have my Wii U, saving me a lot of money..🤣👍🏽👍🏽
I felt cheated like ut should have DKCR packed with it at leas digital only
ShiftNBXX yeah, something. These ports is out of control..
Craig Morgan ports are ok, just not the price, check the price of ports in other systems
ShiftNBXX them prices is ridiculous I meant.. honestly I haven’t bought any Wii U ports.. they’re over price.. now other port from systems be cheap that’s coming to the switch..
I got tropical freeze for “free” on Wii U thanks to nintendo club rewards so I don’t have this issue. Although they should have cut the fucking price to 40bucks.
Are you interested in getting the Satisfye Gaming Grip Pro for the switch ?
Once i discovered it i got allot more interested in playing my switch in handheld mode. So of course that meant i got allot more interested in double dipping with tropical freeze, Crash Bandicoot and hopefully Resident Evil 4 one day.
I had a Wii U but never played this game. Picked it up for the Switch and oh my God it’s awesome! I actually can’t put this game down. Nice addition to the library!
I have DKC Returns on 3DS and Wii but didn’t ever have a Wii U. Just got this game on Switch and after being a original SNES DKC Fan I was wondering if tropical freeze was a good buy at $69AU.
I've got to scoop this up! didnt get it for wii u
Can you play with the joy cons like a Wii and nunchuck, so you can shake the controllers to do a ground pounding or is it only bounded to buttons?
Retro Studios should make Donkey Kong Country Returns HD for Nintendo Switch.
If the game was full priced the same as the original Wii U pricing @ 50$ I could have justified the purchase since I haven't owned the game on the Wii U but jacking up the price with nothing really new other than Funky Kong, nah. I will wait for the price drop because of the principle. Now if they would have included a Funny Kong Amiibo I would have been down.
Cassie Fox Wii u version is $20 USD. It came out on Nintendo selects. No friggin way I'm paying more money for a game o already own. I don't think funky kong is worth the extra money
Tom Hill he really isn't worth it... I will wait for a price drop.
Our family just got a switch. Love your channel!
I really enjoyed Donkey Kong country returns on the wii. But I haven't played the tropical freeze game yet, and I'm wondering if I should buy. Because I don't know if the game is worth it.
Also the game has anti aliasing in handheld mode (or maybe it's 1080p downsampled to 720p which gives some anti aliasing), not sure about docked 1080p anti aliasing as I only play my Switch in handheld! Beautiful game!
5:45 “I’m saying Kong a lot. Billy Mitchell, holler at me” that caught me off guard man! Rolling on the roll dude 🤣😂
I'm getting it again because my Wii u version does not read the disc
I have not owned a nintendo console since SuperNintendo. So... Every game for me on the switch has been worth it.
Love the game but don't want to trade in any of my Switch games just to get this. Hoping for a price cut in the future to buy this gem.
I have this for the Wii U and never beat it. In fact I stopped in the second world and don’t remember why. And now my Wii U is sitting dusty and I haven’t played in over a year. I decided to pick this up. Had some Best Buy points, for it for about $45. Already in the second world and it is really fun!! Plan on beating it soon. Good video !

WHERE DID YOU GET THE IKARUGA T SHIRT!?
Where did you get that Ikaruga shirt?
Great looking game. Wish Nintendo would try to make a new DK game like DK 64. That would be amazing in my opinion.😀
I'm very happy that Tropical Freeze got ported on Switch. I double dipped on this game and Its really fun and challenging and it deserves a lot of love. Guess you could say this game got FUNKY!
Due to the bad timing of Wiiu version it got put on the buy later list , Iv been replaying dkcr3d and it's got me wanting more, I was just going to get Wiiu version but knowing my luck dlc will happen, it and something that ties into the new online plus added future support and the whole anywhere anytime with anyone is a great addition because dk3d is one of my favourite on the go games,
Iv been shopping around and with best price in mind it's £20 more than wiiu double but the home and handheld is kinda 2 in 1 and video sharing of your slick tricks ,
Do I just pay the extra, I'm thinking dlc will happen as even Mario kart dot a substantial amount hyrule is unbelievable so are the upgrades worth it especially loading and any thoughts on dlc? Just seems bare considering nintendo and how been handling ports
Where's the Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze Switch video?
Dude you have a great Shirt
Want that to
TechDude594 It even changed its name
I want it too
So it seems if I have never played this game & don't own a WiiU, I should definitely pick it on Switch .. ? I still find the game a bit expensive, might wait until I find a good deal online.
Where did you get that shirt from I love it
Why on earth is Mighty Number 9 STILL displayed prominently in your gameroom? xD
Waiting for mine to come, they were out of stock. Never played Donkey Kong since the old handheld one. But looking forward to giving this a go.
I had it on Wii U. Good game, but not paying $60 for it. At the time I paid $40 and I was content. I'll wait for a price cut. I do wanna play it over and complete it entirely. But I can wait for the inevitable sale.
Finally an honest review, this is why I love this channel!!
I have for the Wii U and never played it. I picked it up for the switch, and I am not disappointed at all. It is really fantastic. I regret not playing it originally.
Dont feel bad, I...have it 3 times, got it for free on the eshop before club Nintendo closed down, then bought it physical for 12, and yesterday i went to target, and you know you dont decide what to buy at target, target decides what you buy at target.
New super Mario Bros U Deluxe or DKTF?
They are both on sale 30% off.
Guess I'm getting DKTF.
It’s worth picking up on WiiU if that’s an option for you. It really feels better to control with a proper D pad.
I am one of the surprisingly many people that didn't have a Wii U. I picked this game up after playing through Kirby Star Allies. I returned that game because, it's not that it's not a good game, it was just kinda the same Kirby game we've all played: easy and kinda boring.

If you have a modded Wii U that'd make the purchase of the Switch version even less worth it but I know we're not supposed to talk about that. Overall, I don't hate my purchase but I feel like I could have spent my money a bit better on something else(if the Switch's library was a bit more robust) and just played my DKR on my modded Wii, got about the same experience, and not purchased this.
get it today... never played it and i love it!
I got the Wii U version ( got it used on GS during one of those buy 2 get 1 free sales) and still got the Switch version ( preordered games with Amazon Prime are always 47.99). Funky Mode makes it worth the buy imo Now Nintendo please bring us New Super Mario Bros All Stars with all the New Super Mario games.
Just picked this up for 14.00 on the Wii U, at GameStop of course. Thanks RGT for another awesome video.
Talk amongst yourselves. I’ll give you a topic. What’s more accurate? Pinpoint or frame perfect?
In my opinion, I won't be getting this game. I didn't know Funky Kong would be an easy mode.
Gamers like myself don't want an easy mode. An easy mode is a turn off. I understand the counter argument that easy mode is optional. But, I don't like that an easy mode is there. It's existence bothers me. Either you play the game without easy mode or you don't.
So the fact that Funky Kong is in an easy mode is bothersome. Also, a new playable character isn't enough for me to buy the game. I rather have new world's and new bosses. That would be great.
I am just speaking for myself and for people who agree. If you disagree, fine. I respect that.
I also have an issue with the jigsaw pieces. Unlocking new art and trophies is a bit cool. But I would rather unlock unique and cool levels.
Edit. The game is great. I love it. But I am not going to buy it again. Maybe in the future I will. If you love the game or haven't played it, then i recommend it if you like a great platformer. I'm jealous of people who haven't played this before because they will have a fun time playing this like I did on the Wii U. :)
Another AWESOME video RGT! Keep it up man!
I’ll wait for a sale.
I own a Wii U but I just never got around to this game, kinda the same way with Splatoon, but when we got our Switch, I figured now is the time to check out both Splatoon 2 and this game
By comparison: “Donkey Kong Country Returns” on the Wii is a great game but the later levels got so difficult I never beat it. A few years later, I picked up the 3DS port (at a discounted price), which added an “easy” mode. I still found the game challenging, but with the extra hearts/lives I was able to play through the entire game and enjoyed it greatly. So, it was definitely worth the double-dip on the first game. As to “Tropical Freeze”, my Wii U version is still in the backlog, so I won’t be double-dipping...yet.
Well said bro, I love this game, I am on World 5, playing on the Wii U. Your review is exactly how I feel about the game. Have a good weekend.
Never owned a WiiU, but I just bought tropical freeze for $50 on the switch and I love it. . Definitely frickin tough as nails playing it on original mode, but it's absolutely beautiful and easy to recommend. . DK returns on the 3ds was the first DK game I ever enjoyed enough to beat, so when I learned that tropical freeze is like that, but better, I knew it would be in my collection eventually. . It's really refreshing to see just how much love they put into making this game. . Also, did I mention that tropical freeze is super doops hard? 🤪 lol!!! . . It's not like hollow knight status, but I'm 36, I've played 2d platformers my whole life, and holy crap this game makes my hands sweat. Haha!!
Never owned a Wii U, so I’m super stoked to finally play this, should be gettin mine next week. On a side note, wouldn’t it be awesome to get a DKC 1-3 remastered collection on the switch?? That would be dope af, and throw DKCReturns in there too for good measure.
How come none of the youtubers ever talk about splatfest or arms party crash
BLACKSTAR because they don't play Splatoon or ARMS?
I really wish they would have added the other game 'Donkey Kong Country Returns' aswell in the Switch package of Tropical Freeze.
Either way, I've seen the Digital Foundry video and can honestly say that I WILL be getting it for the Switch. :) (That's when I eventually folk out and buy a Switch that is haha).
Bottomline, get the Switch version!.... It's better in every possible way. It's the definitive version now.
Which case do you like better I like the Wii U box better
Shawn I can't remember if you ever mentioned this game but if not, Jotun recently released and it's pretty great if not a bit short. The hand drawn graphics are beautiful though. If you haven't played it you should check it out.
Had it for both totally worth playing on the switch too
Holy crap, RGT finally cut his hair.
IMO, though, should you upgrade??? If you already own it and beat it on Wii U. I’d personally wait for a price drop to $40 or less.
If you’ve never bought the original tropical freeze on the Wii U,
However, then it’s worth buying.
Agreed.
i thought he upgraded his haircut dammit was gonna start a meme
I was going to subscribe to Patreon when I saw his hair but he killed the magic at the end. Oh well, guess I’m saving a few dollars
It's bullshit. He should have never cut his hair, I'd unsubscribe but I'm too lazy to type the letters RGT into the search.
How many levels in there game?
I beat it on the Wii U years ago when it originally came out. I agree, this definitely does not seem anywhere near worth the upgrade if you already bought it on the Wii U. And if someone owns both systems I would actually recommend the Wii U version over the switch version because the Wii U version is $20 because it was one of the Nintendo selects near the end of the Wii U's life. You can literally buy three copies of the Wii U version for the same price as one switch version.
I picked this up too. I suck at it right now lol My wife is pretty good at it though. Lol
Totally picked up DK for the Switch. First time buyer. Love it so far
I can get physical releases for 35 bucks each but im still not sold on DKTF 🤔
You want Billy Mitchel to holler at you? You heard the truth about billy recently?
The irony being the video is meant for the small consumers that bought the WiiU version around 1 million.
Whereas the Switch has 20 million, meaning possibly 19 million and counting have not played the game.
It's not worth the double purchase. Especially at triple the price, or 10 dollars more than the price 4 years ago... Especially since Nintendo is reporting 7 year record profits...
I nominate DK for best girl 2018 after playing the Switch version
Glad it's on the Switch since I never owned/touched a Wii U ever. Quite expensive for a port though. It looks and runs amazingly in both modes and I got it for 44$ tax included so it's not too bad. Still I think it should have been 39$ to begin with.
which one is better wii u or switch
I hope Radiant Silvergun is next to come to the Switch. I didn't own a Wii U so DKTF was a good buy.
I haven't play this game but for $60 nope if it was $40 it would be better.
There might be two versions of Tropical Freeze, but there is only one Stevie Richards.
Wonder what Stevie Richards thinks about Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze?
This game is both fun and frustrating at the same time. Never had the Wii U so I’m totally fine with this port.
I havnt played it. Worth a buy? I only have a switch
Skipped the Wii U version so I’m absolutely fine paying full price for it.
T Dot T but full price would be $50 the switch version is $60
I have it on both and don't regret it.
I enjoyed the jump cut to the Switch version. Good stuff and a great review!
TF is an excellent game, but I definitely can't justify the double dip. "Billy Mitchell, holla at me" :D
I was wondering exactly that today... I know I will buy Hyrule Warriors again for the Switch but DK? ..not sure.
