BeatEmUps, there's more information about nintendo online server.
BeatEmUps I have a Wii U but I still didn't got this game so for me it's totally worth it
I don't care if they relaunched the game at full price, I care that they rereleased the game at a price above the original launch price
BeatEmUps yes and I it's my third 10/10 switch game
gilberto caldeira buy it
the cat wearing a tie is worth a sub alone
I’m glad a lot of the Wii U games are getting a second life here
Agathor 1930 there's some killer games on Wii U and it'd be a shame if those games didn't get the love they deserve. I see everyone bitching about the ports, but I personally am loving it.
Agathor 1930 Me too, I never had a Wii U so it’s perfect for me to play all these great games and get physical copies of them too!
Agathor 1930 Well said! 👍🏻 A new life where there’s a big enough audience to notice.
Yeah I never bought the trash that was Wii U 😂 now I get a chance to play these games
Sucks when you dumped a lot of money on the wii u . I paid 30 dallors for this game in wii u. 60 dallors on the switch is insane.
It was 12.00 a banana mate.
Sha Nen tough times
5 bananas or Donkey Kong?... 5 bananas.... or Donkey Kong....
Definitely the bananas.
That's nuts, at least Bananas aren't necessary like let's say...water.
Probably explains why DK's enemies keep stealing his banana hoard, right??
So in dk 3 the banana hoard will be stolen by australians ;)
you open the banana the wrong way...thats why it broke:(
Well he is from Australia, they do everything upside down
Someone had to say it.....
Nicely shot and edited video Wood. Very cool, love the kitty too! I never played this on Wii U, so I have been loving the game. Take care Wood.
Car Steve thank you for the awesome comment 😀😊
Yeah... same here! Love the kitty, and never had a WiiU, so for me, DKC:TF is a new game...and I love it!! :-D I'm in the UK, and for me it was roughly £10 less expensive than most new release cartridge games - DK was only £40... so not exactly 'budget' price, but still better than most... just as the game is!! (better than most) :-D
Lol, the banana peel gag was pretty great.
I dont regret buying it again for full price. I am actually playing it in Funky mode and while it is easier than the classic mode it remains challenging. Playing with Funky actually gives you a little breather time to enjoy everything that is going around in the background. On the plus side, I get to play it on the go and it looks gorgeous on handheld mode.
You do know that there is already a hard mode in the game where you can only play with one heart?... If that’s what you’re wanting, you already had it in the Wii U version
It’s $79 in Canada, if that makes you feel better.
likethepear yeah but you're really only paying $2 US more
Yikes 😳 (I’m from Canada)
I bought it on both consoles (same with mario kart and bayonetta), i need help
I understand you, bro
@ur mom yeah, Deluxe is a great buy if you don't have the DLC for Wii U. Otherwise, there's still the new battle modes ^^
this is probably one of my favorite video's of you.
thank you for all the great video's ♥
I bought Tropical Freeze on Wii U when it dropped to $20. I ended up selling it for some reason, so I decided to pre-order it on Switch. Pre ordering games on Amazon makes them $47 instead of $60, so I feel like the price was well justified. Even for the full $60, it's such a good game that it's worth it. I'm a few worlds in already and I'm enjoying it a ton. If you're on the edge about buying it for full price, go ahead and do it, especially if you haven't played it yet. It's one of the best 2D platformers hands down.
Wtf $47 for a preorder?
Y has no one told me this
Yeah, as long as you have prime, you get 20% off all game pre orders.
Not all. Special editions don’t apply anymore.
TF has amazing level designs.
Can't wait until they make a sequel dont they want our money.
I am new to your channel been watching you for about 3 months and you are the best you really know your stuff keep up the good work thanks theo
"Although, we hated each other"
**emotionally eats banana**
I think it should have been 40-50 because it is literally 20 DOLLARS on the Wii U right now. Tripling the price is a bit ridiculous.
I'm LOVING Tropical Freeze. It's my first chance to play it and it's completely worth the 60 bucks... Unless I throw my Switch out the window due to how frustrating it can be. It's that old school platforming challenge, but I'm having a ball.
wait until u get to that Juicy Jungle rocket-barrel stage... World 5...
let alone the final boss.
infernaltim1 It's not that hard.
I almost threw mine at the wall but I caught myself. 😂😂
Miko Hietala It's hard as piss for someone who hasn't owned a gaming console in a decade. My reflexes aren't what they used to be in my 20s.
Try the owl boss alone on hard mode.. then go from there.
i rarely subscribe to people. but for some reason. you are very watchable and make me laugh. good job :)
Absolutely love ur vids
Dont own a wii u and bought this for my switch. Love it.
it's great isn't it? The level design, the music, the challenge...
one of the best platformers ever developed, easily.
All I want in my life is more David Wise.
I love your content! Best gaming channel by far!
Jacob Yoby aw thanks!
This is a fantastic video. One of the best
7:50 was the best part of the video. Love your humor bro !
The cat WTF-ing at the beginning is super hilarious. I had to watch it thrice.
I was thinking of buying this game and was looking at some reviews and stumbled onto this one. At the end of it, I left with a really nice review and a random banana shortage fact from Australia which was like an added bonus.
One of the best videos I have ever seen. Great job man
I'm spending the money I saved for kirby on donkey Kong
Excellent decision
Kirby is a babies game, easy and will beat it quick. Dk is better
I originally had Kirby pre-ordered, but I cancelled it and got DK instead after I found that the demo was just too easy.
I regret buying Kirby
The new kirby is pretty boring.
Just an FYI, there is a hard mode in the game where you do only have 1 heart. You may only have 1 character on the screen at all times, so no barrels that give you a companion, the trade off is that you may play as any of the characters in full. So Cranky, Diddy, and Dixie are playable characters
This really should of been released as a double pack with DK country returns, 60 bucks for a re release even to this day is crazy.
I have a Wii-U, but I never bought Donkey Kong: tropical freeze. Idk why I did not buy it, but I was never playing on my Wii-U anyways. I will buy the game on the switch now.
DataFreak Wii u had plenty of good games.
DataFreak Thats me
Only the soundtrack of this game is better than the entire New Mario Bros U game.
Playing this on the switch was my first experience with the game, I’ve never really had a chance to play a Country game before because I’m only 17. But I absolutely love this game so far I’m having so much fun, the level design and the music are so fun, I just wish it was a bit longer so there was more of it to enjoy
One thing worth mentioning is both the Wii U version and the Switch version actually feature a Harder mode where you can play as any of the characters with only one heart (I don't know if this includes funky in the switch version, but it should still include any of the normal kong buddies). You just have to unlock it by finishing every level in the game first.
The game already has a hard mode where you can play as any character with 1 heart. (Unlocked after getting 100% in either funky or original mode). This is why I highly recommend playing in funky mode as you have more options and if you beat hard mode you dont miss out on any of the challenge.
you're a legend. Love your work
You know you have good videos when you don’t care about the game you just want to watch the creator keep up the good work!!!
Great video 😁
Last time I played DK was for the N64 def buyin for my switch this Christmas. Visuals look stunning 😱
Loving the Bananas lol, there's something pretty funny about eating while doing a video review.
Wood! You did good once again!
Wood loved the thumbnail and intro
This was a fun review. I loved the Banana Shortage anecdote, also I don't regret buying it at full price. It is way too good.
Yet another masterpiece from my favorit youtuber! Good Job Wood ;-)
The second I saw a kitty cat wearing a tie I smashed the subscribe button. I haven't even seen 20 seconds of the video yet.
This is the power of cats.
This is why you peel bananas from the other end, you never end up breaking or smushing it.
If you're willing to put some time into the endeavor, 100%ing the game in Funky Mode unlocks Hard Mode, which knocks Funky Kong down to just one hit point instead of five. Having to make it all the way through some of these levels without taking a hit is definitely taxing, but I find it's the perfect balance to how OP Funky is. It makes the experience difficult enough to be satisfying while also allowing you to enjoy just how damn _fun_ Funky is to play as.
Great video :)
I am in love with donkey kong64. No one talks about that game anymore. I hope they port that as well. Thanks for the vid 👍
dkctf credits theme when showing patreons at the end of the video.
very clever :)
I was about to be super impressed if your cat was able to wear a tiny Mario hat in the thumbnail haha. Alas, cats are cats....
I was very divided between getting this game or not, but I think your pushed me over the edge. Going to buy!
I'm gonna be quite honest. Im not buying it because I had it for the Wii u and I payed only 20 dollars when it was in the Nintendo select library of games. So Im kinda of pissed off, precisely for the price point. Still ... good game and good vid Wood!
ZapTvCristal and you don’t need to buy it again. Is who never owned the low selling Wii U are the target audience for this game and it’s price.
just here for the banana eating sounds.
when u gotta get to 10 mins, so u eat 3 bananas
I intend to buy it :)
Tks for the videos, Wood. :D
I got so frustrated with the first run. I had such a difficult time beating the final stage that one my second play through playing as Funky is just so fun to see how fast I can get through a level.
The banana thing about Australia is so true, I remember my parents wanting to buy bananas but they held off. Took a solid 2 years before that recovered.
I haven't had a Nintendo system since the NES, so all these ports are new to me. I'm happy they are bringing over so many. I got this game on Amazon for $48 on preorder which was extra nice.
Will you make a video about the recently re-announced Online Service? Great video! Ive never played DK Tropical Freeze before. I got it on launch day, not disappointed
Wood... you look alot like Billy Mitchell in this thumbnail.
Luckily, and sadly, I never played DKTF on the Wii U, so I picked it up first day for Switch and have been loving it.
I bought DK two weeks ago. First DK I've played since DKC3. It's AMAZING. It alongside Octopath Traveler has made me love my Switch again, after 7 months of it collecting dust.
So I was debating if I should get Mario Maker 2 or DK tropical freeze and after watching your vid, i'm going to get the Donkey Kong game! So I just wanted to tell you thank you for making this video. Btw i'm subscribed and love and watch your videos, you are so funny and have amazing videos! Also I love that you love Zelda botw it is my favorite game for switch and now that Tears of the Kingdom is out I was wondering if you like that game too??
7:40 Idk why,but I find this super funny
If you open your bananas the opposite way by pinching the bottom... You will never squish or break your bananas! ;) Thanks for the review!
Best outro I’ve ever seen
It's a now $49 now, well where I live. And I'm still dying to play this game. I will this Christmas, all the wait will be worth it.
Well... my parents never bought me a WiiU so now that I bought a switch I’ll buy it for the first time!
3:48 its funny to hear this, cuz i am here 4 years later looking to buy this game. Sadly its still 60 :(
I bought it. Didn't have a WiiU. Having a lot of fun. Worth it to me. Not interested in Funky Kong mode.
More Kitty Kong cameos please ;)
The thing that disappointed me most about the price point (despite owning it on Wii U first) was the lack of inclusion of DKC Returns. That would have made it a no brainer to me. I did pick it up again on Switch mainly for the faster loading times and can't say it wasn't worth it, but I'm disappointed not to have access to a proper version of DKC Returns (original had motion controls and 3DS had bad frame rate).
I love how casual you are talking about DK and eating a banana
I dont have the money to spend on this right now. Im saving for Yoshi and Smash. And some college stuff. But i will probably pick it up next year if i dont have any games on my list.
Its possible Yoshi is pushed back into 2019 though, since we haven't heard anything about it yet (We don't even have a title). So i would wait until E3 too decide.
Nick den Toom please no lol. But i would understand. As long as its good. Ive always been a nintendo fan, but never a serious one so the switch is the first time ive really jumped on board and played all these games. My first kirby game and my first yoshi game. I wish kirby had a little more to it. So if it takes them a little longer to make yoshi better than that, then im down.
Listening to the Nintendo Power podcast, they talked about Funky being a great addition for speed-runners because of his moveset.
Never played this on Wii U. Getting it for my daughter for the switch for Xmas. Can’t wait to try it out
Awesome video
Bananas are only 10 cents here in Ecuador, how lucky are we... living in a tropical paradise.
I've never played a Donkey Kong game since the Gameboy pocket days. I think I'll end up getting this game tomorrow.
At first I saw the thumbnail and thought you were doing a Billy Mitchell cosplay. Probably for the best that you're not haha
This is a game I am very excited to check out in the future! As I never owned Tropical Freeze on Wii U, I think it’ll be worth the 60 dollars, but I can see why some people feel it should be cheaper.
Totally agree, particularly in the case of people who have it already, you got it already, you’re not desperate to buy it while the hype is up, if you want it for collecting purposes you can just buy it when it’s cheap or find it on eBay.
I’m super excited to buy it and I’ve never played it before but even I’m happy to wait for prices to drop to £35/£40
To be fair even though funky is easy mode,You can play as him in *hard mode* where you have only one heart.So that can be a challenging experience for those who want to use funky with a higher difficulty. I’m glad because he’s very flexible in terms of replaybability, he can be good for speedruns or just playing the game on a hard difficulty.
Secret to opening a banana is to dig your nail at the base of the stalk before peeling!
Here in Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺 a friend passed on to me a few old XBOX 360 games he no longer wanted in a clean up he had, about 7-8 titles maybe. Went to E.B. Games to trade them since high membership and also promo with extra trade %. They have a thing where can trade 2 games and just pay $29. Managed to use just 2 of the old games (GTA4 & Driver, would have got $7 for each) and the rest paid the $29, plus had some change Togo towards another game. So I was happy with what I “paid” for it.
I bought it on the Wii U when it first came out, and then by the time it came out on the switch, I forgot a lot of the levels, so it was practically a new game to me. Funky kong is also really fun to play as
Weirdest thing this past weekend: i go into Gamestop to buy some accessories and then see an SNES Classic behind the counter. I bought it and played some classic DKC. I bought Tropical Freeze the day before and the comparison with the two and how far this series has come is incredible.
I’m only on World 3 with DKC Tropical Freeze, but Oh. My. Lord. The level design on World 2 is the best i’ve seen in a platformer. Hands down! I got it 20% off due to prime discount and i think it was worth it. It’s challenging to try and collect puzzle pieces, but i just try to collect KONG letters in each level. Really good game so far!
Protip for opening up bananas: don't open it from the stem. Pinch the bottom of it and it peels really nicely.
Excellent video and points. I have been loving Tropical Freeze. Didn't have a Wii U, so this was just a new game for me.
i'm waiting for a sale to get it...but at the same time i love that it is being released so i can live with the 20 dollar mark up
Reminded me of Thor.... Eating Bananas talking about hating your brother
Hold the stem and open the banana from the other end. Works perfect almost every time. The stem it suppose to be used has a handle. Also I'm getting tropical freeze for the 2nd time. $60 isn't much for a video game to being with in my opinion.
There is a hard mode. After collecting all of the KONG letters in every stage, you unlock hard mode, which lets you play through the game with one of the four kongs with only one heart.
You peeled the banana wrong. You’re supposed to peel it from the bottom. Don’t take it up with me, take it up with science. Fantastical Video
Great video 😂
I’m pretty sure it’s a Nintendo select so it’s like $20 on the Wii U
Yes it is $20 on the Wii U but the Wii U failed so everything price dropped to help sell systems. If you don't own a Wii U are you gonna pay $160 for the Wii U especially if own a Switch already? If don't own a Wii U the Switch version is worth it.
Gaming Crusade good point. But I own both systems I just gave up on the Wii U after smash came out
Deja Vu Yeah I own both I have almost all of the Wii U's exclusives I supported it the best I could. I have bought all the ports so far and for most part they added enough, now I don't think DK added enough so if someone owns a Wii U I have hard time saying buy Switch version but I never played through it on my Wii u and since I actually play my Switch I bought it again.
jesus barrera Matter of opinion
If u open bananas fro the bottom they don’t break or smush. Enjoyed seeing the banana gag though
Love the mention of Australia’s Bananageddon.
I've hit the bell and always get notifications, but I didn't even get a notification for this video 🧐
Remember, its not being rereleased for its original price, its being rereleased at a price MORE expensive than its original launch price, which was 50.
And barely anyone bought a fuckin Vita
Didn't stop Sony from rereleasing Gravity Rush with all its DLC, and Tearaway Unfolded, which differs largely from its vita version and becomes a longer game because of it, for 40 bucks each. And, you know, the SotC remake which featured entirely redone art assets, probably one of the expensive parts of game development released at 50 bucks for its *special edition.*
You don't have to keep defending these half-assed Nintendo rereleases man
The devs now get to make the money on the game that the Wii U audience couldn’t provide cause no one bought a Wii U
I love bananas, but I can never eat more than one at a time just due to the taste kind of getting bland the more you eat them. Shoutouts to you for eating 3 man, doing it for the sake of the video, respectable.
