HandsomeDead Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 I'm just getting the sense that they're doing the New Super Mario Bros. Wii thing again. Still, looks like it would satisfy some nostalgia.

illdog Posted November 24, 2010 Posted November 24, 2010 Yes it does. My mates and I are having a DK day on Saturday to celebrate this games release, we're going to start with DK Country and go as far through it and its sequels as we can. And we are wearing ties.
Maf Posted January 14, 2025 Posted January 14, 2025 Seems like the HD version did Ok. Just a mix of people saying this game is still good, but this is it’s 3rd release and the improvements are basic and minor.
Maryokutai Posted January 14, 2025 Posted January 14, 2025 Has been a while but this is not a 79 game. I guess there's aspects you can criticise about this port, mostly that it's apparently based on the 3DS build instead of the visually superior Wii one, but that score belies the quality of the actual game behind the 'drama'. I hope people who never played it will still check it out – it's not quite Tropical Freeze, but one thing it does better is evoke a sense of nostalgia through both visuals and the remixed soundtrack.
mfnick Posted January 14, 2025 Posted January 14, 2025 8/10 feels right to me (I played it on 3DS before). I’m right in the mood for this kind of 2.5D platformer at the moment and managed to get it for £35 so I’ll be picking it up. In no world is it right where they’re giving us a slightly inferior looking version though. Companies keep doing this with their ports and it’s bullshit. What happened to giving players a bit of value for their money & celebrating bringing an old game back rather than doing the bare minimum?
Maf Posted January 14, 2025 Posted January 14, 2025 I 100% the game on the Wii and only played a tiny bit of the 3DS version. I think the reason I didn’t play much of the 3DS version was the same reason people are a bit underwhelmed on it’s 3rd release and that, it’s still a cool game, but I’ve played it before DKCR is also head breakingly hard which is why returning to it is a really big ask. I did this once, I loved it once, please don’t ask me to do it again
