Dustin Spencer from Capsule Computers writes: "When Donkey Kong Country Returns launched on the Nintendo Wii, Retro Studios proved that they could fill the shoes of Rare and put on a great show with an old favorite. Over two years later, the big ape is back in the same title, but this time on a smaller platform. Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D drops one gimmick for another, replacing mandatory waggle control with an optional 3D aspect, and as you could imagine – this does make the game more enjoyable. The actual value of re-playing through the game however is sure to be the question for most DK fans out there, so does this return of a return bode well? "
Phil writes, "A few weeks ago was the 40th anniversary of Nintendo's main monkey, Nintendo's awesome ape, Nintendo's super simian: Donkey Kong. This Tuesday 10s focuses on the best of the banana bunch in the Donkey Kong series, from main games to spin-offs! It's a banana slamma' of games, so let's get to it."
Tropical Freeze is way better than Country Returns and Dixie's whatever it's called. It's easily in top 3 DK games.
It did not place them in order, despite the article being described as a top ten.
Donkey Kong (94) is my preferred game on that list. I think the Rare Country games are pretty rough.
My first reaction was... They made 10 Donkey Kong games?! Then I thought that must be every single one... then I checked the list and Donkey Kong 64 is not even on it. No wonder Nintendo won't make more 3D Donkey Kong. I really enjoyed tropical freeze but I am still waiting for the next 3D game. Its really the only thing I want from the series at this point. Also, I can't take Jungle beat seriously...
Half-Glass Gaming: "Production of the 3DS has been discontinued as of September of 2020, but there’s definitely an argument to be made for adopting the system in 2021, especially if you just really like playing awesome video games."
