Donkey Kong Country fans: How is the new DK Returns?

Question

Have you played it and what are the differences between it and old school DK?

Are the controls difficult?

I really wanna buy it because I loved and conquered 1, 2, and 3. I have the Wii, but not so good with advanced games and controls. Does it use the classic controller, or nun chuck?

Thanks!

Answer 1

The new DK is AWESOME!



It follows the same old school from the first DK's on the SNES. But still it's original, has new moves, creative levels, great graphics and details.



Controls are very easy to use. I use just the wii remote horizontally (easy and I had no problem getting used to it from the first level), but you can use both wii remote and nunchuck, or the classic controller.



If you're a DK fan you must buy this one.

Answer 2

It's been a while since I played an actual DK title, but DKC Returns is freakin EPIC! If you liked the others, then Returns is a must-have for you! As for the controls, I know you can use the Wiimote with the nunchuk, but I also think you can use the classic controller. If you're thinking about getting it, check the top right on the back of the case and it'll let you know what controllers you can use.

Answer 3

I tried it on one of the kiosks in the video game store. Graphics are better than the SNES graphics. In the cart level like the one on DKC for the SNES, the camera swings from left to right or at an angle to give it a more movie like feel.



The controls are little bit tricky, but once you play around a bit, it feels like natural. I'm referring to the NES control setup(turn the Wii Remote sideways like you're playing the NES controller).



The best way to find out is look at the back of the game cover and it will tell you what controls it uses.

This will give you an idea of which controller type to use.
