Between Bayonetta 2 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the Nintendo Switch has afforded some of Wii U's best games a second lease on life, with a handful of other titles set to follow suit this year. Along with the upcoming ports of Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition and Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Nintendo is bringing one of Wii U's best platformers, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, to the hybrid system next month, and we had an opportunity to play it ahead of release.

Tropical Freeze is the second Donkey Kong game from Metroid Prime developer Retro Studios, originally launching for Wii U back in 2014. Like Donkey Kong Country Returns before it, the game is a side-scrolling platformer in the vein of Rare's iconic SNES trilogy, although it introduces a few new elements to the series. In addition to Donkey and Diddy Kong, players can control Dixie and Cranky, both of whom have their own unique abilities. Dixie can hover through the air using her ponytail, while Cranky can use his cane to pogo bounce, DuckTales-style, on enemies and hazards.
