Only on world 2 but for me it's a lot better than 3dworld. It's harder, it looks better, the music is better and there is no time limit.
Unless it gets worse towards the end, i'll end up preferring this game.
I would have left the 53 bucks and run
Haha, I'd be lying if I said I didn't think about it. All chuckin' my coffee in his face, apologising as I ran away as fast as I could. Sigh... ah well just one more day...

I don't believe so, no, but I'd have to double check.

Got it in the mail earlier today, now to be done with work so I can finally play all night long.
Yeah and If the cashier sold it to you they might have gotten fired and the store could have been fined.
No way Nintendo would do this in this day and age when they're barely able to sell anything.
Speaking of..what all do we expect DKCTF to sale? I'm honestly not even expecting 50k this month.

Serious post? Of course they would.
So you think 51k?

I think 50k is a reasonable number. I would love for it to do 100-200k though.
Yes... they call to me too haha. You are only 1/4 done though!

I microwave steaks.
I kind of want to get this, but to be honest, I gave up on the wii one fairly quickly (didn't really jive with the controls or flow of the game). Tried the 3ds version and gave up instantly.
I want to believe though, game looks like it has been getting positive press and I enjoyed the original Donkey Kong Country.

I'm halfway through World 3 and I'm stuck in the same situation, need to find ways to distract myself from its allure of platforming and Dave Wise goodness.
Thankfully, puzzle pieces etc. will have me coming back to 100%.
Some of the hidden exits are really hard to find.

All too often I finish a stage missing just one puzzle piece, it's like the small sting that takes a little bit of joy out of stage completion but hey there's more replayability from that I guess. It's a shame the bonus rooms are still pretty naff though I think the rotation of repeated rooms is at least higher in number this time around, puzzle pieces within the stages themselves are coming across as being placed better than in Returns perhaps because I don't need to blow on every thing this time around.
Yeah.
I'm definitely enjoying this game. Had a few rage inducing moments, thankfully I'm playing with the Pro Controller since it's easier to replace if rage takes over
Sonic lost world sold over 600 k
DK better outsell Sonic.
Didn't know this had secret exits. More platformers need them. imo (SMW showed us how to do it ages ago!).
World 2 gives me some serious Klonoa vibes. Quite unusual world design for a DKC game and it's beautifully realised. Really awesome so far. (I'm also finishing DKCR 3D on the side, so yeah, good times.)
I'll always go Diddie for the bosses (unless pogo is really useful). It's the classic duo, man! His hover jump is also more intuitive to me than Dixie's helicopter.

Wii U only, or shared with 3DS?

I need to keep better track of my preorders. I just ordered it from Amazon a few days ago and then I got an email stating that NewEgg just shipped something which happens to be the same game. I forgot that I pre-ordered it from NewEgg a while ago for $42. That sucks. I guess I'll ship Amazon's copy back once it arrives.
I need to find the cheapest/reliable way to ship it back to them.

cleaning the fridge is euphemism for emptying your hard drive
Just finished the first boss, this game is awesome.
The levels are long enough, there's secrets everywhere and so far while being fairly easy, it isn't a walk in the park either if you're a completionist.
The loading is annoying though and I miss the old Funky Kong song, but that's just nit-picking.

Same for me, that's why I stopped at World 3-2.
I want to enjoy it as a long time as possible, I also plan to 100% this.

Branching paths through worlds are more of a thing than I expected here with at least two stages often being behind an alternative route per world, maybe that's to make it easier for some people to reach the ending without having to go through as many stages, I'd sooner be forced to deal with them all classic DKC style.
World 3's boss is like if a certain lame boss battle in Returns was handled in a much more entertaining fashion,

Really it's all about bringing your favourite partner Kong into the bosses for their unique cutscene animations.

the crab trio that is
I was playing Klonoa just the other day and yeah now you mention it, the whole theme with the hills and windmills do bring about a comparison to its opening stage along with overly jaunty music.
Roll jump into jet pack still feels right, roll jump into helicopter hair or pogo not quite.

The underwater levels in world
feel pretty Rayman-ish more so than SNES DKC.
Yeah, there seems to be quite a bit of this. The barrel rocket stages I've done so far have a pretty empty main path but puzzle pieces/KONG letters in locations that are tougher to get. Not so much the minecart levels, though, but there's not that much they can do there.

Went to Target today, had game out. Tried to buy it. Went up front. Register blocked it
I kind of knew it would but...what the hell. I tried. I can wait one day. I just got a Vita. Hot Shots Golf is kinda fun. I wish I could play as Cranky Kong in it.
Dammit. This is gonna be a hard wait.
