It seems like Nintendo is putting its console Wii U on the shelves of history, taking the very best from it to the new, really successful device Nintendo Switch. The latest step in this direction is the release of the Wii U game “Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze” for Nintendo Switch. This is the first game with this mega-popular game hero on the newest consoles of the Japanese company.
This game is a continuation of the side-scrolling platformers Donkey Kong Country, which started with the game for Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Even now the first episode is available as a part of games collection on the devices SNES Classic.
Save the islands of Donkey Kong!
The big virtual ape lives in a tropical paradise – the warm sun, sweet bananas, deep jungles, and many friends to have fun with… Then, suddenly, northern creatures Snowmads (Viking-animals) attack the home of Donkey Kong with their icy magic, spreading cold all over the place. Saving the tropical islands from Snowmads is the main mission of the game.
Jump with a friend, collect bananas, defeat opponents
The gameplay of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is classic for the series. Players control the main hero and help him to jump over obstacles and gaps, to collect bonuses, to stop cartoonish enemies. An interesting feature is another one character that participates in the adventures.. They give special abilities to Donkey Kong. Gamers may know those apes from the previous episodes.
The game is so fun, the virtual world is so colourful! It proposes many interesting features to explore, many difficult challenges to develop our gaming skills in. Still, this is rather relaxing entertainment, it allows to take a break from daily seriousness, from powerful battles of some other games.
The Nintendo Switch version is almost the exact copy of the Wii U game. One of the differences is the easy mode with the Funky Kong as the main hero.
Of course, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze has a mode for two players on one Nintendo Switch.
