I feel like I’m always trying to convince people around me that haven’t played it like “no for real this is maybe the best 2D platformer I’ve ever played” good job dunkey bong

    Retro Studios has amazing attention to detail, like their design philosophy is pretty much "if a platform is floating in the air, it has to be floating for a reason." Every single platform in Returns and Tropical Freeze is either always sticking out from something in the background or has a justification for floating. Both of these games are some of the best platformers I have ever played, and I find myself coming back to them on occasion.

    Videos like this are why you’re not just my favourite gaming KZreadr but my favourite KZreadr period. The way you balance humour with your passion is so perfect and precise that it can’t help but bring me and others joy. I subscribed back in 2017 and have seen pretty much all your videos multiple times, and honestly this might be my favourite series you’ve ever done. I also have a girlfriend of 2 years and whenever you upload something we watch it together pretty much straight away. Wish you, Leah, and all your subs a happy new year! Also, best of luck with BIGMODE in the coming year!!

I was a young, bright-futured boy when I began this journey, even after being met with so many close calls and so many failures my time has come. This will be the greatest videogamedunkey video of all time, for it is of the greatest game of all time.

Similar to a guitar, it uses pickups to turn the vibration of the strings into an electric signal, which then goes through an amp.

    Still my favorite OST from any video game ever, and I'll be surprised if it gets beaten out. There's a level called Irate Eight where you're on land for less than 10 seconds before jumping into the water, and Wise put a four and a half minute song to play during that section. The boss themes are incredible, the Rocket Barrel motif is always remixed in a distinctive and transformative way, and everytime a piece of a track from an earlier DKC game is used I get chills. Every single level in this game should be in an art museum, everything is so finely crafted it's absolutely criminal that it's been almost 9 years since any other form of Donkey Kong media. I love Returns as well, but Tropical Freeze holds a very special place in my heart and I will never stop wishing for another Donkey Kong game. Until next December, Dunkey Kong. 🦍🍌

As a matter of fact they did watch dogs within watch dogs, there's a minigame called Alone and it is phenomenal, i wish that That was watch dogs it works so much better, you only have about 2 guns and you have no ammo for neither and it takes a lot to kill the robots there and they are cameras and it's scary since you're being hunted throughout Chicago, the problem is that they don't expand beyond that, but if the main game was focused on that idea it could be amazing.

    I think it's fine that we won't see another Donkey Kong game for a while (unless Nintendo is secretly working on a new 3D Donkey Kong game for the end of the Switch!). Nintendo is known to juggle their franchises while introducing new ones, except for the main ones like Mario and Zelda. I've been loving the Switch ports of Wii-U games (like Tropical Freeze!) that even give us small pieces of new content, as I never had a Wii-U. But through the Switch, we also got a 3D open-world Kirby game, Luigi's Mansion 3, a new home console Animal Crossing game, a new Pokemon Snap game, not to mention Metroid Dread and the upcoming Metroid Prime 4.

When I played it during the zipline parts, the music synced perfectly as DK slid on the vines, spinning around to make the bells hanging near the zipline ring to break obstacles. It was magical, as if the blowing wind was conjuring the music and twirling around the bells.
