Summary

“The invading Snowmads have locked Donkey Kong Island in a deep freeze, and it’s up to the Kongs to thaw things out!” Our run of podcasts on the games of Donkey Kong and his kin concludes with a review of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. Arriving first in 2014 for Wii U and then receiving a bolstered upgrade for Switch in 2018, Tropical Freeze is possibly the last word (at least for now) on the DKC formula. Leon, Brian, Darren and Cane and Rinse community contributors express their fandom and frustrations for Retro Studios' feisty platformer. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_416.mp3 caneandrinse.com/forum Music featured in this issue: 1.
