| Pokemonbrawlvg (on 14 May 2012) Yeah! This game is the second best selling in the series! Way to go Retro! Now it's going to be available for $30 on June 10th! Expect a nice increase in sales! | |
| SecondWar (on 27 April 2012) Gave this game another go after getting stuck in the caves and leaving it for a couple of months. Got back into the rhythm of it and made it to the forest (finally). Reminded me of the old Donkey Kong 64 game I used to play at a summer holiday club. If they ever remade that for the 3DS would probably be enough to convince me to get that console, one of the few things that could. | |

| BasilZero (on 30 January 2012) Donkey Kong Country Returns is the first OFFICIAL Donkey Kong game based on the main franchise since DK64 from early 2000s. The game goes back to its original 2D roots from the SNES era, this time bringing back the original duo Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. 9.1/10 | |
| Squeakthedragon (on 30 January 2012) The main problem is that the game doesn't play well NES pad style, which is the way most people will try to play it. The control scheme with shake to roll seems more designed for Wiimote+Nunchuk. Like Mario Galaxy. Play it like that, and instead of trying to shake the Wiimote in a death grip between both hands, just snap your wrist ala spin jumps in Mario. Changes the game. While CC support would have been nice, the game plays fine if you DON'T play in NES configuration. | |
| alexf10 (on 21 January 2012) maybe it should have supported the cc but does it really deserve to fail because of that?? its a great game and deserves every sale its got | |
