There's BUGSIE! Finally someone ELSE besides me and Travo that can appreciate my Tropical Freeze excitement!

If you liked anything about the original Wii game, Tropical Freeze takes EVERYTHING and literally cranks it up to 11.

The music is incredible. Almost every, single screen has some sort of secret in it. The high definition makes a VERY big difference. The playable characters change up the the gameplay as they did in DKC2. If you thought the backgrounds and foregrounds were interactive and alive in the Wii version, oh boy are you in for a surprise. This is not merely the same game on Wii U. This game would not be possible on the Wii in any way, shape or form. Anyone who even remotely liked the original should be INCREDIBLY FUCKIN' PSYCHED today!

If you are not, it's not Nintendo's fault, it's yours!

Sold (had it on pre-order anyway but have been tempted to cancel)

That is so crazy. So a FF spin off gets a sequel that drops the FF name and becomes a critical darling and is now getting a sequel using the new name even though its clearly a FF game.

Ok.

I figured you would have been even more excited by the 3D Dot Game Heroes relation...  

Dvader said:

I appreciate YOUR excitement. Make a thread.

I already have a Lightning Returns thread I am neglecting. It would be more appropriate if Travo made one for it!

I guess I should finish getting the fragments in FFXIII-2. Its mostly fetch quests...

**...and pictures! Why does noone else include pictures in their topics? It's OK to make something clever that LOOKS good too! It's kinda one of my rules of thumb!**

Yes of course that too!

Ok.

And its own fully orchestrated big fuckoff concerts

I love the trumpets most of all

Someone pulled a '999' and sent a message back to your 10 year old self. It said something like:

"Dear Me, You know that Donkey Kong Country 2 you love so very much? Well a super high-definition version of that came out today. I know you don't know what high-definition means yet, but take it from your older self that means TOTALLY RADICAL! Imagine more colors than you thought could be possible, bursting from your TV screen! Imagine music that sounds like the orchestra is playing RIGHT BEHIND YOU! Imagine detail so rich that Dixie's blinking eyes are visible, the jungle has secrets beneath every leaf, every bush, in every body of water and it all looks ALIVE! There's FOUR playable characters NOW! Dixie, Donkey, Diddy and CRANKY! Can you imagine? You can't?! Well TRY! Cause, you see, in the future, you're all grown up and you're tired, bitter and sad. What should get you totally psyched at your age, you just say 'Meh' to now. I think I've lost touch with you, younger me... Nothing seems to get to me anymore... If you get this message, try to remember to remind me to remember what you were like back then. You CAN have fun with your Wii U... What...? Yes, Nintendo actually put out a system named Wii... Stop laughing! I'm trying to be serious here!! Try to remember what it's like to be young, always... for me? You may not realize it then, but I need you more than ever before... The world is getting to be a darker, duller place and I want to remember what fun was like! OK? Make a promise to me! TRY AND REMEMBER!  --Signed Me/You."

LOL...I will get it eventually, but I'm just not feeling another DK right now. I think it was stupid having Retro do two of them in a row.
