Donkey Kong Country Returns (Wii)

Product Information

Game Informer named it Game of the Month for December 2010, with reviewer Dan Ryckert hailing it as "one of the best platformers [they'd] ever played".

The music is sublime, the challenge is tough but fair, the secrets are enjoyable to hunt down, the bosses fun to fight and best of all, it controls like a dream. the environments looked tangible and surreal, and the all characters felt like they existed in that world.The player character has over 2,000 animations in single-player and 6,000 in multiplayer, far greater than Samus Aran's in the Metroid Prime games, [8] [23] and Retro drew inspiration from Jungle Beat to develop Donkey Kong's movements. The bananas are released in a explosion, which sends the Kongs and the moon flying out of the volcano.

Shigeru Miyamoto created it to replace the failed arcade game Radar Scope and to keep Nintendo afloat as a company.The impact of the graphics alone made me stick with Nintendo and not go to the darkside (playstation) This combined with the gameplay and the lush music make it the number 1. I also read your other comments on this list, regarding why people think "Tropical Freeze" is a great game, even the best in the series. My wife and I have been playing through the DKC games together, and we're currently on Tropical Freeze. The original DKC trilogy is, in my opinion, one of the finest things ever made in the video game history, games I replay and enjoy anytime.

Both versions of this game, along with its sequel, were added to the Nintendo Selects label on March 11, 2016, in North America. The character uses pegs to swing to the end of levels instead of using traditional platforming methods. He can use his Barrel Jet to hover high above the ground or defy gravity and fly across small chasms. New gameplay elements include levels in which the characters and foreground environments appear as silhouettes, spawning several new gameplay mechanics.This is like ranking Link's Crossbow Training above Legend Of Zelda: Wind Waker and just below Ocarina Of Time, with Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland on page one. Donkey Kong awakens and opens the tree house door, noticing the last few loads of bananas being stolen.
