Tropical Freeze was my first Donkey Kong Country game (I played Donkey Kong Land 3 on Game Boy Advance), though Im quite familiar with the character through Smash Bros. and Mario Party, as well as the arcade original, which actually starred Cranky Kong as the villain, the original DK. Well, technically the villain was Jumpman, aka Mario, as the manual explains he abused DK, and DK took his girlfriend and smashed barrels around his house. Eventually his descendant became great friends with Mario and gang, and regularly races karts and plays soccer against them. This is the DK that stars in this game. Im aware, however, that this is the first game to star Cranky Kong as a playable character, as he originally was just a shopkeep, though that role has been filled by Funky Kong for this game. Cranky is a particularly helpful character to have on your back, as he bounces himself and DK on a pogo-cane, which makes for some good platforming fun, and can kill most enemies that even DK has...

NWR: "The Donkey Kong Country series made a huge splash on the Super Nintendo. The challenging gameplay, great music and beautiful graphics helped cement the game in gamers minds and make it a classic. Donkey Kong Land, known as Super Donkey Kong GB in Japan, sets out to replicate what was done in the original games, in a scaled down, black and white portablemanner. The results are surprisingly impressive."

NWR: "My major complaints about Nintendo's E3 showings in 2012 and 2013 were focused on a lack of surprise. There's more to it, but when it comes down to it, I look forward to seeing what game companies are creating that I didn't expect. In 2012, the biggest surprise game reveal was Nintendo Land. In 2013, the long-anticipated new Retro Studios joint was nothing more than a sequel to Donkey Kong Country Returns. In the grand scheme of things, really awesome games were shown at both of those E3s. Pikmin 3 turned out to be worth the wait...but we always knew it was coming. Super Mario 3D World was really neat, but it was just an iteration on prior Mario concepts."

From GamesReviews: "It feels so long ago that I went out and purchased a banana yellow Gameboy Pocket and copies of Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong Country 2. As a kid, I always had to pay for my own games as my parents refused to purchase games for birthdays or Christmas. For that reason, these two games were played a lot. Many years later, Nintendo is still releasing titles in the Donkey Kong Country franchise; how thankful long-time fans must be, because Nintendo continues to release high quality, top tier games."
