Even though this game is 6 years old, it hold up really well. Plays perfectly on the Wii U, and graphics are great. A bit tough in spots, but worth it!

I bought this to play on Wii U since growing up I loved playing the Donkey Kong Country Series on the SNES. I tried to play this game but can't start it because it is for the Wii and I can't use my pro controller or Wii U game pad. I now have to go buy a Wii controller. I never owned a Wii before so I don't have any Wii controller. Hope fully the game is worth going out and buying a Wii Controller.

One of the original Wii's best titles, this game is a great mix of old school platforming and modern day level design. The game is very enjoyable while still remaining challenging in the later stages. If you have not played a Donkey Kong game in years, this is a great starting point!

My son won't stop playing this. Who would have thought a game I knew as a child would be loved just as much as my son. It's fun to play with my kid on a game I grew up with.

Donkey Kong Country Returns got great reviews, and now that it's a Nintendo Selects game, it really makes it a great value at $19.99. You can also play this game on the Wii U.

Paid about $20 for this game, love it. I'm a casual gamer and this game is easy to learn and play. Graphic is nice enough. I prefer this more than the 8-bit thing.
