Take on new challenges with the old Kong crew when you play Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze for Nintendo Switch. Donkey, Diddy, Dixie and Cranky team up for more jumps and rolls, while Funky Kong climbs onto his trusty surfboard to show off his best moves. Rated E for everyone, Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze is an ideal option for family game night.

Great remaster of a great platformer

Verified Purchase:Yes
Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze was a great game on Wii U, but like many titles on Wii U it was limited to 720p (or 480p on the GamePad) and could only be played at home. This release plays in beautiful 1080p (or 720p in portable mode) and runs incredibly smooth. The addition of the new Funky Kong mode allows you to not take damage from spikes so you can pass the game slightly more easily. Still even using Funky this game can still be incredibly challenging and rewarding like other Donkey Kong Country games before it. I highly recommend this game even though yes it's initial cost is $59.99 instead of the Wii U releases initial $49.99.

Great game but microtransactions
on December 21, 2018
Posted by: Nico07
from Layton, UT
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this game on a sale after enjoying the first game well enough on Switch. The second game is a good return to form with expanded rosters and more classic players. The only problem is you start with an extremely limited random roster of I believe around 10 players or so. This makes it common that of your random starters you may not even have one player from your favorite team(s). The work around is playing the game and unlocking character packs as you go. The way the game attempts to push you is into buying the $7.50 dlc that unlocks everything (though you have to spend $10 in the eShop and have some change). But this is easily the best way to go as you get all players now and in the future with some extra cash for packs that feature cosmetic clothing upgrades. It's a fun game with some cool new modes but if you buy PLAN on spending the extra $10 to buy the DLC.

Best Mario Kart to date
on December 21, 2018
Posted by: Nico07
from Layton, UT
Verified Purchase:Yes
This game takes everything great about Mario Kart 8 and adds the return of the classic Battle Mode with a few extras including a few new characters. The addition of Renegade Roundup to the Mario Kart Battle Mode is one of the best changes to the series in a long time. Also like all other Wii U to Switch conversions this one runs at full 1080p 60fps instead of the Wii U's 720p 59fps so there is extra clarity and detail to the game.

While I wish there were a few more particular games in this collection it has a great selection especially for the price. I like the options for adding scan lines and borders. Plus it's nice to have a virtual 90s room to remind me what things were like back then down to the time of day being reflected in game. All around a nice package of classic games that has been out for a while, but nice to have on the Switch.

Great addition to the Just Cause series

Verified Purchase:Yes
I really am liking this game. It's nice that the game has been tweaked on a new engine for performance so those issues of sluggish performance found in 3 especially with explosions are largely non-existent now. I like the addition of the balloon tethers to maybe unrealistically lift tanks and enemies, but it makes for some fun new game play mechanics.

Great final set of Splatoon amiibo

Verified Purchase:Yes
These amiibo look great and unlock a nice set of costumes. Each unlocks a costume and you get a piece of each after playing roughly a dozen matches for each piece. It's a nice final set of content for the game but sad to see the game coming to a conclusion with content yet I can see myself playing this game until the next entry inevitably come out in a few years.

1 out of 53 months in, 2 sticky buttons
By Thisisdumb

That's pretty much it. 2 of the buttons stick, not because of a sticky substance, but because they aren't centered properly in the shell. You can feel them rub up against it, and they make audible noises when they're pushed from the unsticking. It is very annoying. Don't bother with their "refurbished" garbage.

Clean it
May 21, 2019
With any gaming controller if you take a clean toothbrush, slightly dampened with water and scrub around the buttons you should be able to fix this. Be sure to not use much water and then dry it when done. There is a rubber membrane under each button with a slight lip around the edge to prevent small amounts of water, dirt or soda from touching the circuitry. Scrubbing all sides of the button, maybe twice after rinsing the toothbrush should fix the problem. I've used this method to fix otherwise filthy game controllers without needing to resort to opening them to clean them.

Smart reason I returned mine. This should have been branded that is for "YouTube or Twitch Streaming ONLY". So many reviewers got this camera yet of dozens of reviews only one I saw mentioned this. VR and other functions of the other games won't support this camera. This seems like a huge oversight, so hopefully this changes in a firmware update. But for now if you don't stream, skip this peripheral.

Charge or display your Xbox Wireless Controllers with this officially licensed Dual Charging Station that eliminates the cost of replacement batteries. Included are four battery doors (two for Xbox Series X|S / two for Xbox One) plus two 1100 mAh rechargeable batteries for up to 40 hours of gameplay*. To charge, simply click controller down on the Charging Station and monitor for LED color change from amber to white. When fully charged, click up to store. Focus on the game and not on your battery life.
Do these batteries also charge via the USB-C port on the controller? It would be a nice addition for if you only have one controller to charge as you play.

What camera do I need to get to play Just Dance 2020/21 with the PS5? Looks like this one doesn't serve that purpose. Thanks.
Either of the past PS4 cameras will work great. I'm currently using the cylinder shapped V2 camera, works great for Just Dance and PSVR.

Will I be able to connect this to a Nintendo switch lite?
You would need a third party bluetooth adapter to connect in the USB charge port on the bottom of the Switch Lite. I'm not fully certain these work on the Lite over the standard Switch. So no it won't work natively.
My recommendation is the Switch Pro controller. Though if you're on a budget the PowerA wireless controller is cheaper dealing, missing some features like rumble, a built in 48 hr battery, and amiibo support, but is an otherwise solid $40 remote that occasionally goes on sale.

I recently bought this controller for my Xbox one and went to set it up when I got home with my rechargeable batteries, but they don’t seem to work. Did they make it to where older rechargeable batteries don’t work with the new controllers?
The form factor of the back is slightly different so you'll need a new charger as the back cover is different. That said older rechargeable packs can be charged separately and then installed in the controller.
Another option is to buy a new Xbox Series rechargeable battery pack (using the cover the controller came with) an then charge it via USB-C. This time around there are two sets of battery pins inside. I'm guessing that it won't charge older packs or rechargeable AA batteries via USB-C so that people wouldn't damage their controller by accidentally charging standard AA batteries, hence the second set of charging pins.

Can this controller charge two rechargeable AA batteries if I connect a USB-C cable?
So I tested this myself, and No it does not work. The Xbox Series controller has terminals for standard or rechargeable AA batteries to power the controller. But this time there are some smaller pins for a rechargeable battery pack and these will charge a battery from the USB-C port. But as they are between where AA batteries (rechargeable or not) sit they won't charge rechargeable AA batteries. My guess is this decision was made so that someone didn't inadvertently try to "recharge" non-rechargeable AA batteries as that would be a problem.

You can quiet them and turn on subtitles. I get it, some of the Scottish accents are pretty thick and hard to understand. No offense to anyone, I'm sure they think the same of some of us Americans.
