Indeed there is a version of DKC Returns on the WiiU - they sold the Wii game on WiiU shop channel.

Some people on gaf just cant bear that nintendo hasn't disappeared and are doing well which leads to unhinged threads like this it's like they want to be angry at nintendo but they needed to create a shallow shell thread to do it with the weakest flimsiest of excuses lol can't even get the games right.

Man FUCK nintendo, sick of their "insert lame reason" and their greedy policies.

Yikes. I know you’re trying to make a point here, but burn that gif.

Nintendo just did that but it's even worse. This game was released on the WiiU, re-released again on the switch, then re-released again on the same platform a 3rd time.

I think you are confused...

these are 2 different games

That’s just B/C though, no? It’s the Wii game as a download instead of the disk. Doesn’t support the WiiU GamePad/WiiU controllers.

Yeah. I am not liking that DK Returns is going to be $60 on Switch.

I mean. Come on, Nintendo. Stop being greedy.

This should have been $50 like it was in 2010 but I can't blame Nintendo for asking $60. It's still one of the best 2D platformers, people love Donkey Kong, and there are probably a lot of Switch owners who never played this before. I think it will do well even at $60.

The minor graphical issues with the port are disappointing but hopefully things will be buttoned-up in time for launch.

It's a good game that was released on the Wii with shitty motion controls, and then remade on the 3DS. Both which are ancient and inaccessible devices at this point. It needed a modern release, I've been wanting to properly play it on my TV again with proper controls so I'm excited for it.

 

[Krathoon]

You can get DK Returns on 3DS for $34.

So, the HD release really is not worth it. Just play the original.
