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

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

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.

Is it confirmed that the Arcade1up NBA Jam with wifi cabinet does indeed come with a light up deck protector?
Yes, Best Buy's NBA JAM cabinet has the light up deck protector. It lights up from a button press in the upper right corner. Can select between about six colors as well as one that flows between them or you can simply power it off. The effect is pretty cool with some parts of the deck printed on the plexiglass in white like P1, P2, pass, etc able to light up and be easily seen. This version is pretty cool.

How much does Best Buy charge to set the arcade game up ?
Not sure, though Geek Squad may offer a service. This is similar to easier IKEA furniture to setup. Basically should take 1-2 hours to setup. Requires no glue just a Philip's and maybe flat head screwdriver. I've setup over eight of these and the only tricky part is the monitor brackets. Just loosely tighten them until fully in place then tighten them down. Aside from that everything else can tighten down as installing (just don't overtighten as this is pressboard). Also you may need to be a ninja at chopping the box apart to recycle it. Its large but similar to a large television in size.

Is the digital copy you get UHD as well? Or is it just HD?
You get all of the above. Moana 4K steelbook includes the 4K UHD bluray (with HDR), the standard HD bluray, and a digital code for Movies Anywhere. On Movies Anywhere you can view it in 4K Dolby Vision (the best digital format), HD, or even SD. This all depends on what television, streaming device, and internet service you have. So long as you have a bluray player or method of streaming it and or plan to upgrade to 4K in the future you can buy this now and not need to purchase any new media in the future. Well at least until the inevitable 8K version someday...

The game has some mildly suggestive content with battles that don't depict any gore. My 12 year old daughter has gotten into the game and really enjoys it.

Yep, the Switch Lite will play all games the original Switch can with a few exceptions like 1-2-Switch requiring additional joy-con controllers. And the Labo series are incompatible as they can't house the Switch Lite for playing their games.

Minecraft is a game about placing blocks and going on adventures.Explore randomly generated worlds and build amazing things from the simplest of homes to the grandest of castles. Play in creative mode with unlimited resources or mine deep into the world in survival mode, crafting weapons and armor to fend off the dangerous mobs.
I'm buying a Switch Lite, which I'm almost positive plays Switch games, but I'm wondering how many megabytes of storage it takes.
The base game is fairly small taking around 512MB. Either way this game requires 1GB save files for every profile that plays the game. These block off storage for level creations that are unfortunately like all other save data locked to the internal 32GB storage. This is a problem if you have kids with multiple friends that play with them. Even though these friends dont save levels they need local profiles that lock off 1GB each for this game until you delete them.
Owning this game on physical is nice so that with multiple consoles you can share between them. The better feature is that you can then download the new cross platform game that doesn't block off 1GB per user but rather just what you save so save file sizes are rather small.

Does the Nintendo Switch version have infinite generating worlds like in Java edition on PC? Or is the world generation limited?
Yes it's based off of the Java version. If you own this version of the game you can download a free copy of the newer game that is crossplatform.

Can you play two players on one console?
You can play up to four players via split screen though you will need additional controllers for anyone beyond the first player. Also this game cannot be played with a single joy-con, you'll need both or a Pro controller for each player.
