Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze

Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze has finally re-released on the Switch as of May 4^th. 

As in the first game, Arctic invaders have invaded Donkey Kong’s home and now it’s up to you to defend it. You can team up with Diddy Kong, Cranky Kong, and Dixie Kong to perform some cool combos to get across the stage. 

As a new addition to this game, Funky Kong is a new playable character. Funky Kong can double jump, hover, and perform both rolls and underwater screws infinitely. His surfboard also allows him go over spikes. He helps you enjoy a more relaxed version of the game. 

The game is available now and retails for $59.99.
