GameXplain Writes: "After diving head first into Donkey Kong Country Returns at E3, we started thinking back to our favorite ape's adventures over the years. Donkey Kong has gone through several different incarnations since he first broke onto the scene in 1981. Since then, we've seen him getting captured, riding mine carts, playing hockey, riding go karts, beating bongos, punching face, and pretty much anything else you can imagine.
In celebration of the storied history of our simian friend (not to mention his reappearance in DKCR), we thought we'd look back at some of DK's more iconic appearances across the years."
As the first game to be released in the DKC series in 11 years, fans of Donkey Kong were eager to see how the iconic ape’s adventures continued. And when it was finally released, the game proved well worth the wait. With incredible level design, difficult yet fun platforming gameplay, vibrant presentation and an amazing soundtrack, “Donkey Kong Country Returns” is an amazing side-scrolling platformer and an incredible comeback for one of Nintendo’s oldest mascots.
Screen Rant Writes "It's been almost a decade since players have seen a new Donkey Kong Country game, but with the opening of Super Nintendo World, now is the perfect time to release a new DKC game. The last entry was 2014's Tropical Freeze (a slightly enhanced version was re-released for the Switch in 2018), which received rave reviews and between its Wii U and Switch sales, performed very well. The original Donkey Kong Country also spotlighted environmental themes, which would prove to be just as salient if a new entry were to release in the coming years."
No its a perfect time for another 3D Donkey Kong. I dont want 2D anything.
We need more 3D stuff, the side scrollers start to all blend together eventually. The last Kirby game was great and refreshing because they moved to 3D.
