I just got it from CEX and its definitely a fun game, it looks great but I can't quite get used to the controls yet. I'm still on the King of Cling level and keep getting eaten by the piranha plant things
Love the classic DKC tunes though

[TheTrader78]

Love this game

[grimtales1]

Think I'm getting more into it now
Still cant work out roll jumping though and cant be bothered with time trials yet

[bitebug]

The tacked on motion controls were unnecessary - I find it unplayable

[grimtales1]

I loved the mine cart level I'm more in the swing of things now but havent mastered the roll jumping yet.
I miss the star barrel

Completed it and took over 3 months, got irritating at times.

Have you done the extra orb levels too?

[Scrubber]

Are there any talks of a sequel?

Yeah, once you've completed the main quest there is a 9th area within the Banana Temple which can only be unlocked by collecting the 8 orbs which are in the temples of each of the 8 areas which you first have to unlock the bridges to get accross to each of those temples.

If you’re expecting Nintendo to deliver a quick and dirty sequel to last year’s hit Donkey Kong Country Returns, you might want to scale back your expectations. For one, Retro Studio’s president and CEO Michael Kelbaugh told us that making a platformer was a lot more work than he expected. But more importantly, we’ve been told that Nintendo has no plans to make a sequel at this time.

If they make a sequel I want to be able to use Diddy alone in 1 player mode.

That was a year ago, just a few months after the game was out. I would think at this time they are planning a sequel.

Those K levels? I've completed them and the Golden Temple level.

....by collecting all the KONG letters on each level in the world.

Needless to say, I've not unlocked the temples.

my housemate and i played through this , including all the orb levels etc, and we had a blast! that was over a year ago now and i miss those gaming sessions we had instead of studying for uni! such a good game

[whedon247]

i got this yesterday

done level 1-1

seems fun but nothing special? hopefully first level is just a basic introduction

[2Dshmuplover]

Well it's not going to blow you away from playing one level is it? The more you play the better it gets, it shares the genius level design of any Rare or Nintendo developed title, imo playing with the wiimote by itself was essential as I could not enjoy the nunchuk method with the annoying drumming motion plus it's way too clunky to use an analogue stick for movement on the later levels that require pixel perfect jumps and razor sharp timing.

I hope we see a sequel on the 3DS, Retro Sudios are working on something, we just don;t know what yet (I think it's a Star Fox game).

3DS would be good actually. I'm doing nothing with the Wii or Wii U at the minute, I'd love to finish the game on 3DS if poss.

[grimtales1]

I was playing with the Wiimote itself and getting more used to it, havent mastered roll jumping but shaking isnt too bad.
I miss the star barrel and using Diddy by himself, and DK's barrel roll attack

[whedon247]

im on level 2-2 now and love it!

old school fun! amount of times i cursed myself for messing up lol

wii controller hurts hand after a while though,can i plug a gamecube controller in?

[grimtales1]

Dont think so, I wish I could play with a GC controller though too.
I'm on 2-2 as well, old school fun as you say but its tough, I hate those bloody crabs you have to flip over
