Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Best Switch Kids Games of May 2018
Donkey, Diddy, Kranky, and all of those other Kongs are back in action on the Nintendo Switch, thanks to a much-needed port of Tropical Freeze, the latest D.K. side-scrolling adventure that was originally available on the Wii U. The Donkey Kong games, especially the most two recent entries, are usually very hard and require the trickiest of platforming skills, but thankfully, Tropical Freeze has a Funky mode that lets players experience the game at a slightly lower difficulty, making it super accessible for children – there’s even a two-player mode! Donkey Kong just might be the first step into bringing your kid into the world of excellent platformers that Nintendo puts out. Introduce them to Donkey Kong, and then afterwards, push them into trying out Super Mario Odyssey or something.
