This started as what I thought should be a WiiWare title, but the game looks so much more fun than expected. I'll have to get it!

I just really hope Retro doesent make the game too easy...it needs to be as difficult as the old Donkey Kong games. I have faith Retro will do this.

Actually., if you go back and play the original games, they aren't really that hard. They probably seemed very hard at the time, but right now, they aren't that much of a challenge.

Finding all the bonus games and secrets are a different story though, I hope they get that part right.

Which one did you think was the most difficult?

I'll have to look out for this one too. When I first read about it, I played the three DKC games to psych me up.

I read that Retro made this game with speed runs and collecting stuff in mind.

It looks as fun as the very first Donkey Kong Country. And man I played that game hours on end and kept going back to the levels. Even after I beat it I kept playing that game for like a year, going back to it every now and then. =D Addicting stuff.

Honesty its been so long since ive played them I really dont remember. Actually I take that back I have played the original within the past 6 months or so...and it was tough. Cant remember if the others were any harder or what, but bottom line they were difficult.

I really wish this was a portable game. It would've been soooo great!

Still, it's a must-have for me right now.
