Nintendo handed its Donkey Kong characters over to British studio Rare, which married the best parts of Mario and Sonic platforming with breakthrough 3D-rendered graphics.

The Donkey Kong Country series dates back to a time when Sonic the Hedgehog was helping Sega’s Genesis crush Nintendo’s SNES, and TV ads made Mario look uncool. Even so, I wish every future Nintendo game had a Funky Mode, because it’s a great idea with a fantastic, fun-sounding name. Retro succeeded in making the game more accessible, but not in making the levels fully kid-friendly, unless just skipping parts of the game all the time strikes you as a good solution. But once my kids started playing, I knew I’d be asked to wield the controller through Tropical Freeze’s many hard parts. I was excited about Funky Mode, and so were my kids, who wanted to play what looked like a Pixar movie. I'd love to see this game in 1080p, maybe with some TF assets, touched up music (pipe dream I know), a rock solid 60fps, and a FUNKY MODE lol.Above: As tight as the controls are during the platforming, they’re floatier underwater and downright challenging during barrel rocket rides. If Yamamoto got another chance these days I think his music could really shine.įor me the major changes would be visual. However this was back during the Wii days when Nintendo was still chasing midi sound. Yamamoto is obviously great and he did a good job, but the soundtrack had a few stinkers along with some classics. The budget was clearly higher and I think a little more effort was put in. The music was really good IMO, though obviously TF outdid it. It certainly sold a heck of a lot better! I think for that reason there's probably people out there who preferred Returns to TF. The level design was solid, it was packed with levels, and it was the first time in many years we saw a 2D DK like the DKC games. I think you could even make an argument that Returns is better. Now, I still think TF ended up being the better game by quite a bit, but Returns really was no slouch either. Why no Switch version? I haven't played the game since it released on the Wii, I'd love to replay it again it was a great game. The Wii version sold very very well, and I imagine the 3DS one did alright. I know it was already ported over to the 3DS and got rid of the forced motion stuff, but why not remaster it for the Switch? I never even thought about this until now.
