    Good price on a great wii u game. I enjoy dealing with best buy and always get the extra warranty on any electronics I buy and it has paid to do so...Even when something broke a month before the warranty was over I still got the full price. This is why I always buy computers from best buy.

    With the new Selects version, people new to Wii U will be able to experience Tropical Freeze, given that the original release was starting to get difficult to find, and at full retail price still. The fact that it's now at a very reasonable price makes it even more appealing.

    Didn't get a chance to play Donkey Kong Country on the original Wii console. So I picked up Tropical Freeze because of all the positive reviews. Definitely enjoy playing this game with my 8-year-old son... of course we have to take turns. This is another positive review.

    Loving this game. It's fun, it's challenging, it's Donkey Kong. Just wish I could've found it before they put it out on this "Nintendo Selects"because I'm not a huge fan of the bordering of the artwork on the cover. Not a huge complaint or problem just eh.

    I read a lot of reviews on this game before purchasing. All of the reviews said it's a must have and they were not lieing. This game brought back memories of the original. The graphics are crisp and the levels are still hard. Perfect platformer

    Tropical freeze is an awesome addition to the Donkey King games, addition of cranky and Dixie abilities have clear benefits on certain levels. And it is much more challenging than I thought it would be. All around an enjoyable 2 player experience

    If you ever played DKC when it first came out back in the day, it was a magical and unique experience that would not be replicated again in the series or in many other popular platformer, for that matter. This game brings back that experience and more!

    This is my first DKC game since the SNES so I didn't really know what to expect. Its a very challenging game but you will learn to get better. The graphics are some of the best on the WII U. Well worth the money I am happy to have in my collection.

    DKCTF is an outstanding entry in the DK Country series. It manages to be a huge improvement over it's already good predecessor on the Wii/3DS. This is a must own Wii U game for anyone that likes platformers, especially now that it is only $20.

    Retro Studios, the developers behind this game, did an excellent job bringing Donkey Kong back on the Wii U. If you like the Wii version then you know exactly what to expect from this game. This is one of the better Wii U games in my opinion.

    Donkey Kong is back is this entertaining game for the Wii U. With it being a Nintendo Select title, it's value priced at 19.99 and well worth the money. The graphics are smooth and the gameplay has a nice flow to it. A great buy for all ages.

    Another great Wii U game! Super fun, cooperative which is a huge bonus for me, and good graphics. I suggest you pick the up while you can, with no more Wii U consoles being made they may not name the games for much longer either.

    This game starts off almost just like you remember, but definitely with a new twist! I like it, even though it is different then the NES version, still very fun, and i love that my daughter an I can play a game we can both enjoy.

    I love playing this with my children, who also love this game. Awesome environments and clever gameplay keeps it interesting and is glued to the screen, which may not be entirely good for us, but hey, instant gratification.

    This game is a lot of fun to play. It brings me back to the days playing on my N64 for a kid. I purchased for nostalgia reasons, and have been very happy with the levels, graphics and overall fun I have had playing this game.
