    This was the first Donkey Kong game i have ever owned and it did not disappoint. The levels look great, the controls feel right, and this game is definitely a challenge. It is definitely worth looking into if you are into platformer style games.

    This game is a ton of fun with great platforming. I never owned it on Wii U so I'm happy to finally have to chance to play. I wish it were a little cheaper since it is a re-release. If you like Donkey Kong/platformers in general, it is worth the buy.

    These switch games can be awesome as this one is. You cannot go wrong with Donkey Kong he has been around since I was a kid. This is also very easy for my 5 year old to play which is what I was looking for.

    Got the ninetndo switch for my 9 yr old son and decided to buy the donkey kong game with it. The game is so much fun with nice graphics and easy enough for him to complete different levels

    If you played Donkey Kong Country Returns for the Wii, than you'll love this one too. Same great gameplay, great music and beautifully looking game. Even if it's your first time playing a Donkey Kong game, you'll still have a blast. Enjoy!

    One of the best games for the unpopular Wii U is thankfully given a second chance on the Nintendo Switch. The original game was tough so the added Funky Kong mode is welcome. Great graphics, music and smooth gameplay make this a must buy!

    This series doesn’t get enough love as it should. It’s super fun, energetic, and will last for so long. I will say it’s pretty hard so your probably not going to enjoy it if your not good at platformers.

    Sharp graphics, incredible level design, and a top notch soundtrack elevate DK Tropical Freeze as one of the greatest platforming games in recent memory. A nice transition from the Wii U version. Definitely worth adding to your collection!

    It’s great game that plays very well on switch. Graphics are crisp and the controls responds well. It’s a must have platformer. However, at times is challenging for my children and myself.

    Yes, this game came out on Wii U but the visuals hold up very well and seem to have been optimized for the Switch. The gameplay is top-notch as always and will beat you up if you don't watch out. Very entertaining and challenging.

    Best Platformer Of All Time

    I usually don’t like platformers. They use cleaver techniques to make you die unfairly or use some sort of hidden puzzle that blocks you and halts your progress for 25 minutes. Donkey Kong just lets you run free through all of the beautiful worlds linking enemies and dodging obstacles in all kinds of new and interesting ways. If you die, it’s not some stupid mechanic or impossible jump, it’s your skill, plain and simple. It’s just plain fun. I never thought I’d love a platformer again, but this did. The art and animations are so beautifully done as is the level design. This deserves all of the accolades it’s gotten.

    At 68yo I am not your typical platform gamer but this game is fun and not too very difficult. If I were better I would not keep dying and have to replay levels so many times.
