Ducking down and then shaking allows him to blow out lanterns and various plants to find goodies.īut Donkey Kong can’t do everything alone. Shaking them up and down, for example, makes him pound the ground, which can stun enemies, break stone blocks and open up secret areas.
When used in tandem, the two controllers enable Kong’s abilities. The two-handed control takes some getting used to, but it soon feels very natural. The nunchuk’s thumbstick moves him around while the A button on the Wiimote makes him jump. One particularly stunning level sees all the action in the foreground silhouetted against an orange and red sunset.ĭonkey Kong is controlled by holding the Wiimote in one hand and the nunchuk in the other. Donkey and Diddy travel through brightly lit jungles, beaches, forests, mines and other areas in search of their lost cache of bananas.
The game’s main appeal is its colourful and cheerful locales. Donkey Kong, with the help of his diminutive sidekick, Diddy Kong, must romp through various locales of the island to get them back. A group of evil animated Tikis have hypnotized the animals of Kong’s island to steal his bananas. Nintendo has dusted off the old simian and brought him back in Donkey Kong Country Returns, a suitably old-school side-scrolling adventure that is flawed but ultimately fun. He’s had guest spots in a few racing and party games, and he had one forgettable outing on the Wii in Donkey Kong Barrel Blast, but otherwise, he’s been sucking back bananas alone in a sort of forced exile - until now. The iconic ape, which launched Nintendo’s video-game fortunes way back in 1981, hasn’t been seen much in recent years. If you were to enter video game limbo, one of the first characters you’d probably run into is Donkey Kong. Nintendo's beloved simian is back in Donkey Kong Country Returns.
