You have to play with the Wiimote to get that sound. But then you gotta put up with waggle to roll. Sophie's choice, as it were.

Thanks, guys. I had my audio send to surround. I have it on stereo now, and it's much better. DK has more heft.
I'm going through Tropical Freeze the same way I went through DKCR: Get all the puzzle pieces/KONG letters that I can find, then go back for the rest.

What? I hear all the sounds from my set perfectly. The nice THUD as you land on an enemy, the noise of pounding, it's all there. Nothing missing.
Edit: There we go, he had it on Surround instead of Stereo. I wager you are the same.
Yeah, I find remote + nunchuck the way to go

Ah, you actually have to turn on the volume of your Gamepad to hear the noise. Don't let the black screen of uselessness fool you, that little "bop" sound effect is crucial.

Am I the only one who likes the motion controls in this game (when you play with the Wiimote)?
I liked them in the original DKR on Wii as well. They make me feel (there's no way to say this without in sounding stupid) like a heavy kong actually banging the ground.
I've never found sensitivity to be a problem either, although that may be because I don't use the roll that much. Jumping on enemies is better IMO.

Was playing and in the middle of a stage when the power went out.

Hmm, that's almost my exact collection right there.New pile (also included a few Wii games)
Swap Ninja Gaiden 3 with Sonic Lost World while adding ZombiU and CoD-Blops (only purchase mistake I've made on the system thus far).
It's a good system.
I was actually going to tell you if your surround sound doesn't support LPCM, then your front channel speakers won't work. If you have it set to surround in a lot of games. I found that out in arkham city, where voices were all but muffled when talking to bruce/batman from being in front of him.
I've since upgraded and it's interesting the way nintendo places the sounds in their games. 3d world for example.
Just recorded level 1-1's time trial world record (well, for now) so people without the game can check it out. Sorry about the iPhone recording, I have no capture card.

Not bad young grass hopper. So how are the leaderbords working online? Can you also have ghost on time trial?
I'll be streaming this for the next hour or so if anyone wants to come laugh as I die repeatedly

Yeck, thanks to all who came in to watch the stream, know it was rough going with all the deaths especially. Somehow or another I got into my head that the roll button also served as the run button and that had me screwing all kinds of things up. Once I wrapped my head around the buttons a bit more it was a little smoother. Oh, and I'll just be another to heap mounds of praise on this game's soundtrack - it's absolutely beautiful. Level 3-1 just made my day.

The off-center spine on Wonderful 101 really bothers me.

yeah, i enjoy them as I tend to prefer wiimote/nunchuk for most games and good supplemental motion controls are always welcome.
No wonder it didn't sell!
i agree. as for me:
Swap Ninja Gaiden for AC3 then add ZombiU, Rayman, Sonic, Arkham City, and take away Luigi U

The leaderboards are slick. The download to view others are pretty swift which is pretty cool as it means we can watch other GAFfers play.
Sadly there are no ghosts in the level as you play.
Awesome stream, man!
You could return one, then you got the game for free!
Yup, great system. I have been meaning to pick up ZombiU and Sonic LW too. Not enough time...
You're an even better viewer, thanks for sticking with me man lol!

How do I view other people's run throughs?
Robin64

Go to the level you want to view, hit A and pick Time Trial, then the leaderboard can be viewed on that page and you just pick the run you want to watch.
Oh right, I forgot Rayman Legends. I have that on Wii U (and Vita) as well. One of my favorite games on the system!
I prefer the motion controls over just using a button. I also preferred this in NSMB. It is frustrating that they moved it to the run button in Super Mario 3D World.
...does not compute. But honestly, if you weren't a fan of DKCR I don't see this game magically meeting your expectations.
Yeah leaderbords with replay sounds really cool. Too bad there arent any ghosts. Will get this game next month then. Still need to complete mario 3d world before starting this.

No, you're not.
The motion controls worked very well.
In fact, when I play this new game(probably later today), it's going to be weird not using them(going to play on the Gamepad my first time around, love Off Tv play).
I'll probably use them in other playthroughs though.
I liked the blowing mechanic and nothing is more satisfying than groundpounding with the Remote and nunchuk.
(rolling worked just fine for me, had basically no problems)

Ok, so where is that doc so I can add some peeps with time trials to attempt to beat?
Loving this leaderboard and replay thing, very cool to see where I went horribly horribly wrong

For the Wii U side replacing MH3U with Sonic: Lost World and that's basically my collection.
Like the Wii/GCN I basically buy Nintendo consoles for the exclusives. They tend to pay for the system over its lifespan. That and I've never had a Nintendo console break like my X360/PS3 did.
EDIT: Also, does this game do anything special Miiverse-wise like SMW3D or am I alright playing with the Pro controller?
Just finished a job interview; time to kick back and enjoy DK. This is, no joke, my most anticipated title of the year. (Pending any crazy announcements later in the year) I've held off watching footage and listening to the soundtrack (aside from Grassland Groove and Amiss Abyss) so I'm ready to be surprised. Let's see if Retro can top their previous work, aka the best 2d platformer of all time.

Hey guys, no spoilers of what they are but are there post game content like:
Six islands seem short since the first had eight. So just wondering.
New islands, maybe 7 or 8? Kind of like SMB3DWorld or Land?

Sup animal buddies!
I had a terrible morning, especially considering I took the day off to enjoy DK to its fullest. BUT! The clouds are parting and we got to play some Tropical Freeze. 2-2 kicked my butt big time, I am terrible at Rambi levels. The game is awesomely fun so far and I can tell it's just going to get more amazing. Hope y'all are digging it as well.
Hope you got the job and that it requires just the right amount of travel for a traveler such as yourself!

From what I understand:
there is one final world with three levels. I know it's not a ton, but, the levels themselves in this game are very long so far. So there's that.

Co-op is incredibly useful and fun, especially on most of the bonus levels when it becomes a time saver.
I agree with everyone here about the music. On the windmill levels now.

To those who are far into the game, although this game has less worlds, do the longer levels make it similar in content and length to the first one?
Okay, thanks.
NP! FWIW, have you completed DKCR 200%? These games are just completely packed with content, even if there are slightly fewer levels in this one. (Plus the game is $10 cheaper than 3DW...my impression is that part of the reasoning behind the lower price is the slightly lower level count.)
3D World didn't sell very well, so perhaps that's the reason why DKC is cheaper.
Why did NoE feel the need to change Donkey Kong's foot?
