The game will see much more success being on the Switch than it did on the Wii U, but we can't shake the feeling that this should have been the third game in the rebooted Donkey Kong Country series. However, with the price tag (which we'll talk about later) and the lack of features, this is just a port, unfortunately. That's of course without Nintendo trying to push new features to old players. However, for anyone who played this when it was out on the Wii U, there isn't much of a reason to pick this title up again. To many people, it is the first time they will play it so from that retrospect this is a great pickup.

As Nintendo is deciding to do with many of their old Wii U successes, they want to see a new life for those great games on a more successful console. That is why Nintendo decided to bring the game to their new more successful console the Nintendo Switch.

It had decent sales but with the low sales of the Nintendo Wii U, the game didn't see its fair share of success.
