Description

Product Description
Donkey Kong Country is Back!

Donkey Kong is making a triumphant return, along with his trusted sidekick Diddy Kong, in a brand new side-scrolling platform game from Retro Studios. Donkey Kong Country Returns, for the Wii system, has all new levels and all new chest-pounding challenges for players of all ages. The game takes inspiration from the original Super NES series, from barrel blasts to mine carts and then builds upon it by adding stunning graphics and new layers of depth to the world and game play. Donkey Kong Country Returns features the first ever simultaneous cooperative game play mode for the series allowing both novice and skilled players to actively play and experience the game together. Run, jump, climb and defeat enemies through diverse environments until you retrieve Donkey Kong's stolen banana hoard!

Donkey Kong: Country Returns

• Feel the power of Donkey Kong by shaking the Wii Remote and Nunchuk to perform Ground Pounds, Barrel Rolls. These moves can be used to destroy blocks, defeat enemies and reveal hidden areas. Donkey Kong also has the new ability to climb walls and ceilings.
• Diddy Kong has a few new tricks of his own. He can use his Barrel Jet to hover high above the ground or defy gravity and fly across small chasms. He can also help Donkey Kong with this ability by hopping on to Donkey Kong's back. In two player mode, a quick shake of the Wii Remote will give him the ability to fire his Peanut Popgun to assist Donkey Kong.
• The levels in Donkey Kong Country Returns are beautifully rendered and creatively designed with lots of hidden items to discover. Try to collect all of K-O-N-G Letters and hidden Puzzle Pieces in each level to unlock something special.
• In cooperative mode, players of different skill levels can play through the game together.

I bought this game because I had always loved playing the OLD version. I was really disappointed when I started playing it, it took about 10 minutes and I was totally bored. It may have been an okay game at around 30 bucks but definately NOT worth [$]!

Comments about Nintendo 1001272 Donkey Kong: Country Returns for Nintendo Wii:

We bought this for our new Wii. Since we had donkey kong country for our super nintendo we thought this would be fun.
It is more fun than the original since it has been upgraded using new technology and they added many new features and funtions.
You won't be disappointed if you purchase this game!

My 7 1/2 year old LOVES this game! He got it for Christmas, and is already figuring the whole thing out. It's fun to watch as well. I love that there is a smaller gorilla named "Diddy Kong". You won't be sorry, you'll be happy!

Comments about Nintendo 1001272 Donkey Kong: Country Returns for Nintendo Wii:

We bought this game for a family Christmas present. I love it because it is very very challanging, more so than Super Mario Brothers. I personally like it better! My 4 year old will play for hours if I let him. I bought Super Mario Brothers first and he showed no interest, but he showed a lot of interest in this. It's all he ever talks about. He can roll, shake, blow out fire. He has even passed some of the levels. He loves that Diddy rides on Kongs back. He understands everything about this game now...what the hearts are for, why he needs to find all the puzzle pieces, and he even learned how to spell KONG! This game is a must for young children! They would love it. He even has the neighbors kids asking to play it now!
