DZComposer Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 This one needs some backstory.So, Mark Walton of Gamespot gave Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze a pretty cold review (har har har...).This is one of the more scathing parts of the review:There are some cheap tricks used along the way too. Thankfully, they're rare, but when they do appear, it's frustrating. Sometimes I'd perform a leap of faith during a particularly tricky section, only to land on an enemy on the other side that had lurked just out of shot. Other times I'd be racing down a zip line, only to find that the visual cues for jumps, like well-placed bananas and coins, were all too easy to miss, causing me to plummet to my death. It's a shame that you can't have the game show you the best path like in Donkey Kong Country Returns; it's very much a process of trial and error when it comes to surviving some of Tropical Freeze's cheaper tricks.http://www.gamespot.com/reviews/donkey-kong-country-tropical-freeze-review/1900-6415667/As part of the marking blitz for the game, NOA is pretending that Cranky Kong took over their twitter account and have "him" answering questions.This ensues:YOU ASKED: How old are you, Cranky??? #DKCTF #WiiUYOU ASKED: How old are you, Cranky??? #DKCTF #WiiU— Nintendo of America (@NintendoAmerica) February 20, 2014 Old enough to remember when falling in a pit in a platformer was called “lack of skill†and not “cheap.†#DKCTF #WiiUOld enough to remember when falling in a pit in a platformer was called “lack of skill” and not “cheap.” #DKCTF #WiiU— Nintendo of America (@NintendoAmerica) February 20, 2014 (Image macro is mine) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrypticQuery Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 If he thought that was bad, I'd love to see that reviewer play this game. --- Kudos to whomever is running Nintendo's Twitter account for that matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icy Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I figured they were taking some kind of jab at GameSpot...Very good, very good.GameSpot isn't anti-Nintendo like Nintendo fanboys would like to believe, they're just unpredictable. One review is great, the next one is horrible. It's weird.I'd love for this guy to go play any DKC on the Super Nintendo. He'd never finish it! make it through the first level!

Clearwater Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Oh wow. Nintendo should do more stuff like that. Imagine if Mario took over the Twitter account. Imagine... HEY! My-a new game has-a been released! You should-a play it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redeemer Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Heehee! How cute. I'm playing through this game with R3d right now, it's not a walk in the park! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
