GameRevolution:
"When the original Donkey Kong Country was released, people marveled at its pre-rendered graphics and detailed textures, but the platforming gameplay and hidden secrets drew players in. Nintendo's reboot quickly became king of the jungle, spawning sequels and ports to the handheld Game Boy platform. Donkey Kong Country Returns helped to remind gamers why they love the big ape in 2010, but DK fans like me who had a bigger focus on portable gaming so many years ago might wish Donkey Kong Land could return too."
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.
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."
Several Nintendo Selects titles are on sale for $15 at Amazon right now. The deals include Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, Super Mario 3D Land, and Star Fox 64 3D.
I love my 3DS and I haven't played the Wii game so this is a match made in banana heaven.
The first DKC is still one of my favorite platformers. This and the new Zelda will have 3DS staying one of my most played platforms for sure.
