And to celebrate Donkey Kong’s debut on Nintendo Switch, all the usual episode segments – Pro’s Picks, the Warp Zone game quiz and Player’s Pulse listener questions – are devoted to Nintendo’s number-one ape.Ģ4:21 – Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Discussion Be sure to slow the game down with slowdown programs, though.Host Chris Slate is joined by Samantha Robertson and Todd Buechele from Nintendo Treehouse to discuss all the big and little enhancements made to the Donkey Kong CountryTM: Tropical Freeze game for the Nintendo SwitchTM system. Still, it remains one of Atari’s best PC ports that remain highly playable to this day.

This port by Atari does justice to the original arcade sensation, only minus the bright colors due to hardware limitations of PCs in 1983. Straightforward, but a lot of fun and quite addictive. You do this by jumping over barrels and other obstacles that Kong throw at you, and climbing up ladders to the top. In case you have never heard of the game until this moment (and if that’s true, you most likely never played games until recently), here’s the deal: you control a plump construction worker called Jumpman (who would later morph into a plumber named Mario in Nintendo’s most successful series) who must rescue his girlfriend Pauline from the clutches of Donkey Kong, a giant gorilla modeled after the movie. The worst you will see is probably some graphical errors in minor details but the transition is still top notch. Not the best but when transitioning Donkey Kong from 2D to a 3D collectathon they nailed it. Donkey Kong is a great PC port of Nintendo's classic arcade game that needs no introduction, since it has been ported to just about every console and computer system you can imagine. Nostalgia yes but one of the best games Rare has ever done during the Nintendo 64 Era.
