Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Gets Funky Trailer For Nintendo Switch Release (VIDEO)
As the Nintendo Switch keeps on trucking with success, numerous popular games been looking to capitalize and make their way to the hybrid console. One game maker that has been utilizing this advantage is Nintendo themselves, who have re-released many of their most prominent Wii U titles as enhanced Switch ports. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is the latest adventure to make the jump, and a new trailer has debuted to show off the funky set of features included in the updated game.
From the footage, we get a peek at the all the Donkey Kong Country goodness we expect from Retro Studios with dynamic 2D platforming, a wide array of level types, and goofy playable characters. Perhaps the biggest addition of Tropical Freeze is the surfboard-sporting Funky Kong, which not only drops a healthy dose of cool-factor to the proceedings, but also a “Funky Mode,” which acts as an easier difficulty setting for the game. Check it out below.
For those outside the know, Tropical Freeze sees the tropical Donkey Kong Island hit with an icy blizzard brought forth by a cold-embracing group called the Snowmads. The Viking-like antagonists then take the locale for themselves and send the previous inhabitants packing. With the Kong clan on hand, players platform through a series of levels to take back their home and defeat the Snowmads. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is now available for Nintendo Switch.
