Pack it up, folks. It's been a funky 4 years for Retro.The Nintendo Power podcast confirms that Retro Studios was the developer, including Funky Kong mode.
That level is savage. I had forgotten all about it until I played through it again tonight.
Same here I played in the WiiU using the Pro controller, so I'm not used to the bongo sound.Not so much wood, but it sounds like bongos to me. I don't remember it from the Wii U either but apparently it played the enemy hit sound effect through the gamepad and mine was always muted so maybe it was like that the whole time.
I mean personally none of the titles you've mentioned touch Donkey Kong for me, but I'd still like to see them ported. Particularly 3D World.So yeah this is a great game and all and for those of you who think it's the best Wii U game I'm glad you're now able to play it on Switch but man as much as I am enjoying it I also can't shake the feeling that I would love to be playing Super Mario 3D World, Xenoblade Chronicles X or The Wind Waker HD on it instead, as my favourite Wii U games. It'll break my wallet and all but I just want them all porter after playing this- it's just so much better overall. If we had a repeat so to speak of this last few months next year but the Wii U ports are those 3 games and maybe like and Animal Crossing or 2D Mario then I for one will be delighted. Sucks for the people who who can't stop whining ATM but the more Wii U ports the better ad far as I am concerned, as long as they're as good as this one.
I honestly think DKCR is a much better game than this. I'm not finding it as fun.
I enjoyed Odyssey, but I've only got 30 hours playtime max out of it. Beyond that, it becomes clear that the worlds aren't really that big, are stuffed with far too many moons, and after you reach the threshold for the Darker Side, there's no point in collecting any more.Lovely game, I played extensively yesterday and it was a great -though unsurprising, having grown up with the original trilogy- experience. The highlight by far is the music: it lives up to what I've read these years.
I'm only worried about how long (or short) it is. After barely three/four hours, I've already started the fourth world. If I had no interest on hard mode or completionist routes, I'd be done with the game by tomorrow or this same afternoon. That's probably the only measure where Odyssey satisfies me more, but being as good as I think it is, replaying levels won't be a problem.

Obligatory post in this OT to say FUCK the key level and FUCK whoever made it.
Hope they step on a lego. Such a blemish on otherwise fantastic water levels.
60 euros (that is 52 euros in most stores tbh, at least in Barcelona) is expensive for a port, but it's a fair price for the game content and quality-wise.But i didn't expect it to cost 60eu. I mean damn, for a (good) port of a wii u game that's a lot. Sadly I'll just wait until I find it at a decent price in store.
The resolution updgrade is really nice, I've only played levels in the first world but the extra sharpness and detail level are great.I'm trying to find even the smallest reason under the sun to double dip on this but I cannot justify it no matter what how hard I try.

Nintendo knows that mostly new players will buy the game, so they decided to be as greedy as possible...
God, somehow I wish I didn't still own this game and also still have my Wii U plugged in.

To be fair almost every level in this game is the best level in video game history
Sure, but given I don't play platformers on my commute, the Wii U version is technically portable for me, too.Its portable. If you buy a digital copy you will always have access to the game for a quick level replay at a convenient time
Same. I'm super happy that new and returning fans are enjoying this wonderful wonderful game, but the fact that this actually cost more than when it was originally released for very little added in, I can't help but raise an eyebrow to this.Exactly. I understand their move but I don't find it fair as a consumer.
I mean i paid 40 for a full remake of SotC or for the crash bandicoot trilogy.
I don't doubt the game in itself is worth it, but this comparison is preventing me from buying it at the moment.
Glad to see everybody is enjoying it as much tho, it's a treat i reserve for myself for another time!
you can buy more from funky's shop with banana medals. Otherwise its a game over screen and a few free balloons. level 2K is great for grinding/acquiring banana medals
Back to the start of the level.so there's never a 'true' game over ? how far back does a game over put you?
I don't know why I'm feeling bored already. Like I'm not excited to play more. Feels more like a chore and not enjoying it. So I went back to CR and found it fun, even though I died in one of the mining cave levels almost 15 times, but I kept wanting to play again. Not the same feeling in TF.
Currently in 2-5, alpine incline.
It's your first time playing the game?i'm on the verge of bying it
Convince me Era

The bosses are indeed long, it works for some bosses (the Owl boss is pretty good) and it's tiring on some other ones.My only gripes with the game are the long bosses, non improved bonus rooms (which really needed some updates) and whats the point of underwater breath?

If you have the game for the U, isn't worth , but as a new player I can't see how the game is less fair price-wise compared to any other AAA game out there.

I dunno, in Amazon.es is 52,90 ,same on the MediaMarkt web, and yeah, some webs have the game at 49,95 but the shipping costs 3 euros everywhere...Why that 2 euros tax for you guys?
Its 49 euros in every mediamarkt and carrefour in valencia (55 in fnac and 60 in GAME).
The three first worlds are great, then the 4th world depends on how you like water levels, but the two last worlds are insanely good (and hard from time to time).Just got to world three and man the first level is just astounding. The music here blew me away withe the African theme of the level. Never got the hype for this game until now.
Want to torture yourself? Listen to the Giantbomb GOTY (best music) podcast of that year. ;)Please tell me this game won ost of the year back in the days of Gaf?
