28% down. It is chugging along.

 

[robot]

This can be played with the pro controller, correct? The only thing I didn't like about DKCR was the waggle.

Yarp.

 

[Wishmaster92]

Enjoy the game, guys.

 

[MaverickHunterAsh]

Oh god, this game. THIS GAME.

And this music. David Wise, I love you.

 

[kcxiv]

i have a 50 mb line and this is slow as it gets. 18 percent in 45 min

 

[mrmickfran]

I came over to see impressions, but it seems that everyone's still downloading lol.

 

[TIGER-COOL]

just started my download, about an hour and 50 minutes! Hitting 2mb/s mostly, but it seems to dip occasionally

 

[GWX]

Fuck 111-1007 error, can't enter eShop to save my life. Canadian eShop, by the way. Anyone with the same problem? eShop worked just fine the last time I entered (which was like 3 hours or so before the release of DKC:TF).

edit: restarted my router and it all went well. Now for the loooooong wait! =(

 

[TIGER-COOL]

I came over to see impressions, but it seems that everyone's still downloading lol.

The download's pretty massive. 11GB

 

[LevityNYC]

Sometimes I envy those who buy digital. This is one of those times.

Why? I have a 75mg FIOS connection and its a 2 hour download for an 11GB file.

Pretty laughable Nintendo.

 

[Saint Gregory]

If this DL goes any slower I'm fairly certain it will mean that I'm actually uploading games to Nintendo :/

 

[Outtrigger888]

Tip: Pause, then resume download. Seems to kick a download back in gear, if its going slow.

Have to wait 'til tomorrow, to get my copy.

 

[ghibli99]

Oh god, this game. THIS GAME.

And this music. David Wise, I love you.

Should have mine tomorrow... I can't wait!

 

[kcxiv]

my download went from 1hour 50 min to 4 hours 20 min. Wonderful

 

[Kadin]

Haha, this made me laugh a good bit. I'm not even attempting to download tonight. I know it's gonna be bad as much as I'd like to play before tomorrow.

lucky bastard, on my 25mb connection it's a 7 hour download

 

[Starphoenix]

Can't you continue downloading a game while the system is off?

 

[mrmickfran]

The download's pretty massive. 11GB

Oh I know. It's just crazy that EVERYONE is still downloading lol.

 

[TIGER-COOL]

That's odd... I'm on a 25mb connection and the estimated time is around 2 hours. You should try stopping it and starting it again. Could it have to do with location?

 

[Bullza2o]

I should have mine delivered from Amazon tomorrow, but I myself won't be home for the weekend

 

[oatmeal]

Waiting for the Best Buy 20% off sale.

 

[Thoraxes]

Sheeeet, can't connect to the eShop now.

Weird.

 

[Yoshi]

This game has secret exits?

Yes, you unlock two secret levels per world this way. And welcome back, I've seen you were banned .

 

[Roo]

Can't you continue downloading a game while the system is off?

Yes you can.

 

[Timeaisis]

I'm holding off for physical. Very excited for this, though.

[Chucker]

Make sure to have Cranky Kong for the end of 1-3, and don't go directly to the first exit you see.

You'll love it. I promise.

I just came across this and know exactly what you're talking about.

 

[Frolow]

Anyone know if sound is outputted from the Gampead during the game? My TV audio is pretty bad so I wanted to use my headphones.

 

[Tevious]

Installing...

[Coda]

Nintendo has been killing it with the themed eShop jams lately. All so catchy and happy. They get me stoked to rack up my credit card bill.

Haha seriously. Kinda wish they would cycle through them though because I keep my eshop open when I'm just chillin.

 

[CrimsonCommie]

Just a reminder, there's a spreadsheet to find other DKC-gaffers if you want to compete for leaderboard times. Just add your NNID, it's easy! Quote to reveal.

Everybody don't forget to add your NNID to the doc!

 

[jmizzal]

Yikes, 11gb...this is gonna take a while.

11 gigs how big was SM3DW?

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Fuck...

I don't wanna go digital (I did for W101 and Super Mario 3D World, and I feel empty looking at my Wii U Collection), but my car's broken, I work late, it's just a pain to get to the store anytime this weekend.

 

[Kriken]

11 gigs how big was SM3DW?

1.6 GB

 

[Starphoenix]

Yes you can.

Thanks. That's why I don't understand a lot of the concerns with download time.

Set to download, go to bed, wake up, play TF, success.

 

[Zalman]

It's worth it for the brilliant box art!

 

[Fiktion]

Anyone know which level is the one with the snowstorm silhouettes?

6-6 Cliffside Slide

Thanks. Unfortunately, can't find it on Youtube yet.

 

[TIGER-COOL]

Anyone else awake at an ungodly hour in the East coast waiting to play this? Just finished installing, time to play!

 

[Dupy]

Game is pretty fun so far. Kind of annoyed at the audio though. The music only comes out of the gamepad if you switch the gameplay to the screen. As you guys probably already know the second screen just goes blank, there's no mirroring so you can't use headphones and play on the TV at the same time. Only being able to use the analog stick is also kind of a weird choice.

Obviously these aren't game breaking but not ideal either.

If I'm not mistaken, there is an option to switch controls from the analog to the d-pad. I think you have to navigate the menus anytime you want to switch it though, unfortunately.

I don't understand 2D styled games that don't support D-pad control. Super Mario 3D World did this wonderfully.

 

[Windom Earle]

I didn't have much time to play yesterday, but I am really liking it. Art direction and graphics are simply outstanding. And this comes from a person being mostly a PC gamer these days. Dat fur. The only thing a bit weird looking are the eyes of Donkey and Diddy up close...

Coming from 3D World, the jump does feel weird at first. I don't remember this from the Wii original. But I think I'll get used to it quickly. Can't wait to play more!

 

[ShineALight]

Started downloading 10 or 15 minutes after 9:00, 40% into the installation now. The download was pretty reasonable but kind of surprised the installation itself is a 35-40 minute process. At least km finally within a half hour of actually starting the game.

I forgot about the installation too. Thing's giving me grief. Keeps pausing, or stalling and saying I don't have enough storage when I definitely do. Anyone else experience this?

I just booted it up, and the pro controller is my preferred way for playing...

anyway, when i started with the pro controller, it gives me the option to switch between the analog stick, or the dpad

 

[Robin64]

Yes, you can switch to d-pad controls, though you need to enter the menu to do so and then the analog stick becomes unused completely. Odd, but I'll take it. Just feels easier to play for me this way.
