These are solid games to pull inspiration from and Retro Studios did a great job reimagining these platforming classics. It takes inspiration from classic Super Nintendo platformers like Super Mario World and of course, its predecessor the Donkey Kong Country trilogy. The game itself is a solid platformer and is one of the best 2-D platformers of this generation.

The game didn't see much success and they needed to get it out to a larger audience. Nintendo has already seen more success with the re-release of Mario Kart 8: Deluxe than the Mario Kart 8 on Wii U.ĭonkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze was on the top of many people's list for games to be ported to the Nintendo Switch. As Nintendo is deciding to do with many of their old Wii U successes, they want to see a new life for those great games on a more successful console. That is why Nintendo decided to bring the game to their new more successful console the Nintendo Switch. It had decent sales but with the low sales of the Nintendo Wii U, the game didn't see its fair share of success. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze originally released on the Nintendo Wii U in 2014.
