    The Donkey Kong Country series got its start back in the 90s on the SNES. I've enjoyed pretty much every one of them, even though some may seem repetitive. This is a great one, with many different characters, and lots of action. I highly recommend this to any fan of the original games, as I guarantee you'll love it!

    One of the BEST 2D side scrollers of the HD era. I'm glad Nintendo didn't leave this one on the commercially ill-fated but highly capable Wii U. MUST HAVE!!!

    I finally caved and bought this for the Switch. I have it on the WiiU but I wanted to play it again on my switch so I got it on a rare sale. This game is hardly ever on sale but it’s really fun and beautiful so I had to get it again.

    Bought this for the wife and kiddo since they just finished up the old school Donkey Kong Country 2 for SNES. It's different for sure and takes some getting used to, but certainly some good co-op fun.

    This game is amazing. Really feels like an updated version of the old game I loved when I was young back during the SNES times. It really fun to play with two people it really feels like we are playing as a team. Definitely a game for couples and or kids.

    Greatest 2.5D platformer ever?!

    This game is special, challenging, I just enjoy to control. It's one of the greatest platformer ever crafted, with probably the greatest level design in a platformer...ever. Retro Studios are world class Developers for a reason. If you're a fan of the Donkey Kong Country series or just platformer, this game is a must have.

    We got this game earlier in the year, during the start of the pandemic. What a great game, I think the adults enjoyed it more than the kids, nintindo always surprises me in the graphics department. It looks awesome, it’s great time for both the adults and the kids.

    If you didn't have a wii U like me this is a great title to add to your gaming library. Not only is one of the best 2D platformers to own on Switch but it is one of the best ever made. If you love Donkey Kong this is a must buy. If you had this on Wii U don't expect many extras.

    Solid entry for DK series but tough

    This game is so much fun. My wife and I love this series and it has kept us entertained for months. Word of warning, this game is tough outside of Funky mode. I highly recommend trying the game in the easier Funky mode if you get frustrated. Otherwise, it’s beautiful and well worth the money if you are a DK fan.

    If you're a fan of the old school Donkey Kong Country games than you're really going to enjoy this one as well. My favorite part is that you can be Funky Kong, makes the game easier and more fun to play. It was my first purchase for the Switch and I was pretty happy with it!

    Absolutely beautiful and so entertaining. Purchased this on day 1 from Best Buy gamers rewards program (20% off). That took sting off from the $60 price tag that Nintendo put on it since I already own the WiiU version. Can’t put the Switch version down and prefer it on this platform. Recommend this to all Switch owners!

    Very fun game. I was first introduced to this style of Donkey Kong game back in the SNES days, and this is a similar game, with slick graphics and fun side-scrolling action.
