Donkey Kong Country Returns
Developer: Retro Studios
Publisher: Nintendo
Platform: Wii
Release: November 21, 2010
Summary
While a true return to a franchise (the first DKC game in 14 years), it was not necessarily a return in gameplay. Waggle controls, changes in momentum, and enemy design revealed that Retro was still learning the series sauce, but the foundation was there to build greatness on the Wii U. A gorgeous game on the Wii with a solid challenge nonetheless.
Acquisition
A day one purchase at the ol' GameStop in the mall. I had $45 in gift cards too, which is a big help to a 16 year old.
Memories
Besides picking this one up at launch, I don't have many memories of this one. I should return to Returns some day. Perhaps on Switch in co-op.
