I know that some people will see these things as "nitpicks", but for a $60 dollar remastered we expect nothing but improvements in almost (if not) everything from the original game. Also, I know that the normal consumer won't look out for these problems because all they want is a New Donkey Kong game and this covers that perfectly. Either way, problems like these should be improved or fixed, but that doesn't mean is an awful product overall. We want this to be the best because we love DK.
Every downgrade is awful. They were either porting it one to one with no quality control, or they simply couldn't port it and didn't bother to find a way to make it happen. I hope they fix these things like the other improvements made.
Seems like the devs are in a war for replicating lighting and effects from the Wii version. The lava and mud bubbles are pretty bad... hope it's sorted out.
Happy to hear a lot more positive changes this time! The lava and water look bad, but most everything else is looking pretty good! I hope they fix these small details so this $60 remaster is an actual upgrade to the original.
Got a month left till release, so we’ll see how much more progress they can get in that limited time. So far looks promising but I’m not gonna say anything yet until we get closer to release.
He sounds so bewildered. Compare the Switch version to the 3DS port and all your questions will be answered. This remaster is based on the 3DS version, not the Wii.
Kind of weird considering that All Stars adapted Galaxy control scheme, and that tbh they could perfectly Remake the 3DS levels. Agreed, It was a poor decision.
@@SALTYTOAD00 Idk, I feel that they could had done something even considering the galaxy NVIDIA version. Changing control is not a big of a deal on programming, in fact I would say is the easiest thing you can do.
Sometimes I wonder if this remaster is being made by some inexperienced team at Nintendo. It's kind of strange these inconsistencies and downgrades for a $60 remaster especially since generally remasters of Wii/Wii U games are great on the Switch.
Thanks for making these videos! Someone needs to hold Nintendo accountable for trying to publish a somehow inferior version of a Wii game at full price in 2024
Honestly Im quite happy with this, as someone who couldn’t enjoy the wii version because of the controls and couldn’t properly play the 3ds version because of how tiny the characters looked in that screen this port seems like the best of both worlds. I love tropical freeze and this game is shaping up quite fine.
The only problem is that as they are charging $60 for this remaster, the minimum expected is that it would be equal to or better than the original versions. That's why these graphical problems are so annoying, I doubt anyone would create problems if it only cost $40 like the Pikmin ports.
I paid $50 for this when it released on Wii, paid $40 when it was ported to 3ds (I traded that away later), paid $20 when it was made available digitally in the wiiu eshop and paid $20 when it released as a Nintendo select on the 3ds eshop again to give it another chance. Im not saying price isn’t an issue but my point is there have been multiple ways to enjoy this game at various different price points for years, everyone knows the only reason this game is coming out is because of the Donkey Kong amusement park expansion so this is more of a premium release cause not a lot of people care for this game specially when tropical freeze already exists and is way better than returns. Definitely do not feel pressured into buying it.
it's obvious this is a port of the 3DS version and not the Wii original it's unfortunate that they didn't do much to touch it up but the main reason why this game looks worse in many aspects is only because the game is a port of Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D
Its really interesting seeing the differences but this is a pretty fast platformer, ill be too focused on not jumping down a pit to notice these things in motion.
I'm convinced that the version of the game that has been used as the base is the 3DS port rather than the Wii version. It explains why things are downgraded and aren't quite working as you'd hope. I also find it so strange that the opening cutscene still has the expected hair on his wrist, yet the in-game model doesn't! I mean, surely the people developing this can see that? I'm still keeping everything crossed that the final version will have fixed most of this.
I think instead of comparing the switch and the Wii versions. You should do all three considering the switch is a 3DS port (which really really bothers me)
This is a port of the 3DS version, not the Wii version for sure? 3ds was a major downgrade. Switch looks like a tiny downgrade, making me think it's the Wii version with some system compat. problems.
@@wesker2397yes it’s the 3DS port because the 3DS port had the extra levels at the end and the Wii version didn’t. And since the switch is including those levels it’s clearly the 3DS Port. But tbh I would leave the levels to have a better looking HD port
Then seems like the best way to experience this game is play on Dolphin in HD and then the Lost World on Citra in HD. Not sure then if the Switch offers ANY upgrades, other than a little more hair
@@wesker2397 i meam the switch offers the extra levels added in the 3DS version and normal people controls. The only way to play the wii version is motion controls.
It's so wierd how they just downplay so many little effects. That likely would look just fine in HD. Even while Blu-ray. Most of tjoses effects are supposed to be messy. The lava would blend better. The water would look less crisp. Like HD doesn't mean crisp some stuff shouldn't be crisp).
No-name 3rd world outsource firm I'm sure. Some of these mistakes are amateurish. They have access to the original assets, but they don't know what to do with em.
I keep going back and forward on buying this in every video. The lava scene is BAAAAAAD. Hopefully that's one last thing they can improve before release.
It seems to me like this is a work in progress if you noticed the fur come back. So if you notice anything missing before that's not here in the present revision I'm sure it's likely it will be back on release. Still worth criticism though since this is an official overview. There's no guarantee it will especially to this degree of improvement.
I feel like all these graphical issues can be pointed to the fact that this version is based on the 3DS version of the game, where things probably had to be toned down to run on 3DS. So they’re taking 3DS assets and trying to remake it too look like the Wii version, but are failing on some aspects; like number of particles, the sun not being present in some scenes, background elements being wrong, etc.
also, is kinda funny: Tropical freeze managed to get a remaster long before it's prequel Returns is going to get this january... though I wouldn't mind if they delay it with the notice of soo many problems popping up.
This game is still my favourite of all time so I’m still in shock that it’s a reality and am just glad people are talking about it again. I have to say though I do prefer the look of the original because of the colours and lighting and I’m not being biased, however this still looks so much better overall from being 1080p and seeing new details I’ve never seen before. The squid is beautiful
At this point I'm convinced that all the visual 'downgrades' are due to the developers trying to ensure that the frame rate isn't tanked. With these visual downgrades, and the fact that they didn't revert to the classic aspect ratio, I'm now so glad that my first time ever playing this game (which was earlier this year) was the original Wii version (using deblur, HDMI output, and 4:3 aspect ratio hacks) 👌
A port of the NVIDIA Shield version would have been enough for me. (?) People downplaying the issues as just being nitpicking, but colors, effects, backgrounds, details, these things are someone's job, you know. Also, $60 dollars.
DK Country Returns first on Wii, later on 3DS and now on Switch so DK Country Returns has returned third time what's insane! But in my opinion the Wii version looks still the best version of DK Country Rrturns. As having it on Wii should I get it on Switch? Paying 60€ of just a HD Remake sounds like a crime, but I would love to play Donkey Kong Country Returns as a handheld mode can't wait i'm so excited for Donkey Kong Country Returns HD coming in january what's in next month guys! 😮
Feels like they're getting footage from several different builds hence why the fur was gone in one trailer then back in another. It's really weird. But I think, since they're charging $60 for this remaster, the nitpicking is warranted. Remember the Metroid prime remaster was $40 at launch and that had so much work put into it, it may as well have been called a remake.
Right now I'm more focused on DK64 release in the NSO+ I hope next week that something can arrive after the 2 Tetris games, maybe a Rare-DK Bundle or something
The fact we have both control styles (motion and Button) on a bigger screen and the TV will make this the definitive way to play for me for sure but I can't help but be a little disappointed at the graphical issues. Like... has anyone compared the disappointing downgrades to the 3DS? Is it possible THAT is the version serving as the base and the cause of all the downgrades?! Like, that would kinda make sense right? Less particle effects and stuff WOULD make the game run better on 3DS right?
Dude, at this point, I feel like we’re just beating a dead horse. All we are doing now is just nitpicking such meaningless stuff. The game looks perfectly fine even when compared to the Wii version.
I'm starting to think that this version is working from the 3DS version and updating the effects has been somewhat trickier. Since if they were pulling from the Wii version, I suspect maybe the transition to HD would have been smoother.
Maybe they're using that version because reworking the 3DS levels would have been harder to implemente to the Wii version. This all speculation. But who knows. We've seen Bandai Namco having issue with porting Tales of Symphonia and no version outside of the Gamecube one ever ran at 60fps.
Like we all know at this point that this isn't a remske of a wii game. It's a remake of a 3D game, which happens to be a remake of a wii game. Can we just all accept that fact and move onto comparisons with the 3DS version? This isn't rocket science, Nintendo is remaking a 3DS game rather than a Wii game. Which means this game will NEVER meet the exceptions of someone wanting a wii remake. Its a 3D remake okay. So can we all now get on with our lives and get a proper comparison?
Christ, who handled this port? There's so much stuff that's just not up to scratch here. This game should be at least as good as the original Wii version in every single araa imo, and actually better in many too. It should never be worse. Get this sorted in a patch, Nintendo. People are paying a lot of money for these ports!
I remember the fur tech on conker live and reloaded. I did think it was impressive back then. Fur tech has been put on the back burner for far too long.
I'm not buying this game again anyway. I bought it for the Wii, and I bought it for the 3DS. I'm kinda of bored of it by now. At this point I'd love a Donkey Kong Country trilogy remaster, or a brand new game where the bring the Kremlings back.
As I mentioned in the first video, it doesn't appear to be based on the 3DS one. And even if it was, it doesn't matter as this is positioned as an upgraded port, which the Wii version was always the superior looking version
Pretty confident the are remastering the 3DS Port and not a remaster of the Wii version. I am curious if you redid this analysis and compared it to the 3DS port, I imagine it would be much closer to that.

As I mentioned in the first video, it doesn't appear to be based on the 3DS one. And even if it was, it doesn't matter as this is positioned as an upgraded port, which the Wii version was always the superior looking version
Not gonna pay $60 for a remaster of an inferior version of the game. The Switch version needs to be the BEST version or it's just a waste of time.
This game still looks great and I will buy it Day 1
I think most of this is due to RUclips cropping it down.
Why don't they wait until Switch 2 so they can use more powerful hardware?
Pretty confident the are remastering the 3DS Port and not a remaster of the Wii version. I am curious if you redid this analysis and compared it to the 3DS port, I imagine it would be much closer to that.
7:18 the water isn’t the big deal to deal with, I mean looks pretty good I mean as some confusing, who it looks.
Customers must talk with their wallet. Don't waste money on this. This is embarrassing and necessarily expensive.
