There are now four playable characters in the game! Dixie Kong returns as a playable character alongside Diddy Kong, while bearded old hero Cranky Kong joins the adventure with his springy cane for the first time in Donkey Kong Country.

The Donkey Kong Country series’ difficult ground-pounding, barrel-blasting, side-scrolling mine cart action is back, along with a slew of new game-play aspects and features. Players will bounce from island to island, exploring a wide range of new landscapes, including lush mangroves, blazing savannahs, and Donkey Kong’s icy island.

If a Wii U owner wants it they can get it so what does making it just slightly harder to come by accomplish?Īnd there are already several Wii U-to-Switch ports and I don't recall any of them being discontinued from the online store.In Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, the second installment in the popular platformer series from Retro Studios, help Donkey Kong and his buddies recover their house and banana horde from raiding Vikings who have invaded and frozen their home, Donkey Kong Island. The game is also plentiful in the used market. It seems to be a pretty easy game to find a physical copy of so this is just discouraging one specific type of sale. And if you really want this for the Wii U there I still see tons of copies at my local Wal-mart.

If the Wii U game sales were a serious threat to Switch sales then the Wii U would have been successful enough that a new Nintendo console probably wouldn't have come out yet in the first place. The whole reason all these Wii U games are getting re-released is because they're like new games for most of the Switch userbase. Having any sort of concern about a Wii U game affecting Switch sales is silly since it's actually pretty hard to get a Wii U these days and hardly anyone owned one when it was current.
