Nintendo Donkey Kong has been entertaining gaming fans since 1981 when the original game was released in arcades across the globe. Since then, the series has grown into one of the all-time greats with no less than 20 other titles featuring the great ape.The Nintendo Donkey Kong Country series was first released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1994 and has proved to be a popular spin-off for the character. Now, the incredibly successful Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is coming to Nintendo’s brilliant Switch.

In classic Nintendo Donkey Kong Country style, the Nintendo Switch version of Tropical Freeze follows the same side-scrolling platforming style of play that the series has become renowned for. This doesn’t mean that there won’t be some Switch-exclusive features however.One of the criticisms of the Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze on the Wii U was its particularly steep learning curve that was difficult to master for younger or more inexperienced players. Here, a new ‘beginner-friendly mode’ has been introduced to allow new fans to get used to the unique style of gameplay that Donkey Kong embodies. Beginner-friendly mode will feature Funky Kong and his trademark bandana style. Speaking of Funky Kong, a new mode specifically designed for the Switch, Funky Town, celebrates the return of the surfing ape who has the ability to do double jumps, infinite rolls and hovering. Ideal for newcomers.

Elsewhere, the popular co-operative mode that worked incredibly well on the Wii U makes its return on the Switch, promising hours and hours of monkey business for gamers and their friends. Character wise, players have the ability to choose a range of classic characters including Diddy Kong, Cranky Kong and Dixie Kong who all make their Nintendo Switch debut. Add to this the brilliant graphics and the go-anywhere portability that the Nintendo Switch has to offer gamers, and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze promises to be yet another success for the Nintendo Donkey Kong franchise.
