Not what I was expecting
I heard this game was a true homage to the classic DKC games on SNES. Unfortunately it didn't have the smooth staccato gameplay of the originals where you could just pick up and play them. The controls feel lagged (even more than usual), and clunky. In addition, some of the button mapping is questionable and hard to adapt to, for instance, picking up barrels with the R button just feels all wrong to me. When using the classic Wiimote, for some reason the only way to break boxes or to perform your attack is by shaking the controller. It gets pretty tedious, shaking the controller every time you need to break a box, and although there is a dedicated button for it on the Pro Controller, I still feel like I am missing out since playing on the Wiimote feels better in almost every way except this. You can't change characters, they just ride on your back and give you extra abilities (mostly extending your jumps). Graphics are pretty good, but I sort of miss the classic look. Overall, not the worst game I've ever played, but not exactly what I was hoping for.
