Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze for Switch Gameplay Trailer

[Shawn Zipay]

For those of you who never picked up Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze for the Wii U, you now have a second chance. I'm assuming there's probably a lot of you that never played the Wii U release simply because it was on the Wii U. But now? Now, you have a chance to play it on the Switch, which sounds pretty great IMO.

It looks like this Switch release will have some new content including the "Funky Mode" that allows you to play as Funky Kong. The game will be out on the Switch on May 4.

Arctic invaders have turned Donkey Kong Island into their personal frozen fortress, and it’s up to you to save the day when Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze launches on Nintendo Switch May 4th! Barrel-blast into this critically acclaimed adventure, complete with a banana-bunch of new features. Traverse islands packed with platforming perfection and nonstop action as the classic Kongs in the original game, or mix things up by playing the story as Funky Kong in the new Funky Mode!
