Josh from the BitBlock has got his hands on Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and has showcased a number of gameplay videos. His latest video compares Donkey Kong Country Returns on Wii and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze on Wii U. As you can see from the video the load times are a little on the long side for the upcoming Wii U game which comes out this month.
Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze Has Long Loading Times

A whopping 20 seconds…
Probably more on the bigger levels.
Its a good thing im not getting this…
I’m hoping they’ll be able to patch this somehow in the future. I wonder what the reason for the long load times is though. Looks like a great game besides the load times.
Yeah, you’re a busy man who can’t wait twenty seconds aren’t you?
Thanks for calling me a Man :P
And no i just wanna save my money for MK8 and Smash Bros. … Plus im not really feeling this game enough to buy it.
Aren’t you a man? Didn’t get that
Lol thanx again.
He’s a kid =_=
MK8 and Smash may also have long loading times! I think it may have to do with loading the whole level at once…would be nice if this was fixed pronto!
Saint Row IV takes about 10 seconds to load and there is a great deal more to load.
Yah… I’m an impatient MAN
It’s a good thing to shut the fuck up sometimes!
Meany Beany-ful Feany!
I think its just a relative statement, Nintendo games tend to not even have loading times, or they are just really short. So for a Nintendo game it may be long
True! You just have to check 3d world, so fast!
SONIC 06 LOADING RETURNS
the “freeze” in the title says it all, lol
I know it, i saw it on the gameplay show
It is 20-30 seconds, not that much IMO, but still is too long for a platformer
also, I send you some new sickr
20 second loading times?
11GB Size?
Kinda makes you wonder what for, u kno?
Like the levels are seriously that HD when they really arent. O well
thye are HD, saw it live,
they look so nice
“Like the levels are seriously that HD when they really aren’t.”
What? HD is a resolution, not a quality. The game itself is HD. Yes, it runs in 1280×720 resolution, that is HD. “O LOL IT IS NOT *DAT* HD, IT IS ONLY KINDA HD LOLOLOL” It’s either HD or it isn’t. To say it’s “not really THAT HD” is monumentally stupid.
lol
From the title I was expecting Lego City Undercover style load times. Those were long.
These load times are pretty short. Weird that it’s longer than the Wii game, but I guess it has a lot more to load.
Anyway, Not actually long loading times.
@A0 wow i was expeccting it would be Lego City Undercover load times 2 it’s like what 20 seconds for DK? not that bad if you ask me
I think if lego city undercover’s load times were significantly shorter, the game could have sold better…but I still love that game…load times and all!
eh its not unbearable
This is … the same game ?
There are only menu and map that have been upgraded, the loading time which have been extended and what ? Any GamePad Functionality, this new Donkey Kong could have been realized on Wii …
I gonna buy it to make my own opinion, but I don’t know if a miracle is possible…
not really
TF uses new elements, one of them being the HD gfx, making things more fluid(loading times are due to this)
I hardly thing 20 seconds is bad. When Blacklist came out, the loading time must have been around 1 minute at most. Now that I personally think is really bad.
oh no. meh not that long.
also I think I know why……in wii they BOTH are faster than dk in TF. :P
also Sickr I sent you the disc art of the game.
better then waiting 10 minutes in wind waker(orginal) just to get to island
^this
Dk can travel faster then boat!!
lel
shut the fuck up you dumb cunt
tsk tsk. U and many others make the internet look bad
no ;-; pls dont be mad
i know where i would stick a frozen banana right now
Yeah, put it in your mouth and shut the hell up!!!
WHAT HAVE I SAID ? NOTHING. I DONT NEED TO SHUT UP. IVE SAID MINIMAL THINGS!
Ur not very bright are u? Ur clearly trying to be jerk like everyone on the internet so move along
UR URUR URURUR. STFU. It’s you’re you stupid cuntbag
ALSO READ MY BIO
its hypocrisy
What the fuck?? XD You guys have some of the funniest conversations I’ve ever heard. Lmao. I’m cracking up right now! XD XD
#REKT
ooo sailor talk….
lol im watching this animay about sailors actually its called one peace :) rly good check it out if you like animays
Yes of course I like anime :). I haven’t gotten around to watching One Piece. The last one I watched was Tokyo Magnitude 8, but its kind of a sad one, and is not very lighthearted.
I’ve gotten used to games with long loading times on the 8th-gen consoles.
NO SHIT! THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN ESTABLISHED!!!
Not long at all. A nice 20 seconds to quickly ponder the meaning of life, then gameplay!
Yeah thats pretty long..oh well maybe they’ll patch it
At least it isn’t Sonic 06.
Or Sly Cooper 4. That game got long load times.
Or anything on the Sega Saturn or PS1….Street Fighter Alpha was painful.
Or the Wii rendition of the Metroid Prime Trilogy. Anyone who’s played the trilogy on Wii knows about the occasional thirty-five-second loading time for a simple door to open.
Never played Sonic 06, but jesus did Sly 4 have long loadings, and even longer on the Vita.
The game does looks great, though.
Yikes, this is horrible. I wish Nintendo had installed a faster disc reader in the Wii U, these load times are ridiculous. This is what happens when Nintendo opts to use cheap and cost effective hardware parts in their consoles. Ugh.
Go play nba 2k14 on the ps4.. and thenn talk about long loading times…
The disk reader on the U is actually very good. It’s just that some environments on games are too big. This goes to all current gen consoles.
so what one is the wiiU game? :P….. sorry
Yep, some wii games were so impressive that they gave some HD games a run for their money. DK on wii was gorgeous, and the wii u one seems to indicate it will be more so, especially with those fur effects.
After playing Lego City Undercover, all (not literally) loading times are short.
Really not that bad considering the levels are now HD and supposedly larger than the average level in Returns.
Oh, the levels are going to be even larger? Sign me up for that! I loved Returns, and the levels there were pretty beefy, so I’ll gladly trade in some loading time for longer, prettier levels.
The game looks great.
Joe danger 2, go try that, that’s long loading times, GRID 2 also.
Pretty long but still picking it up day 1.
I want this game to flop sooooooo bad.
What a great human being you are. You are contributing so much to society. Wanting for lots of people to be miserable just for your own personal enjoyment. Who wouldn’t want to meet you In person?
How about you flop instead along with the rest of your Xbot friends?…
As long as the gameplay is good I don’t care waiting a little bit. I think Tropical Freeze is going to be an excellent game.
I remember playing Star Wars Dark Forces on PC back in the day. Loading times? 2-3 minutes perhaps? And believe me when I say that game was not in HD.
THE POWER OF WII U
OMG
the wii version looks (exept HD)
almost bether than the U Version.
wow nintendo is in the futer.
that game would be also possible on the game cube.
why casual should buy a system (without bluray) that has the same graphik scills like the Wii they already have. …
hmmm there are 3,4,5… ways:
1. im a casual, i like to start gaming, now i have a PS4
2 im a casual, and after the Wii got myself a tablett, that i also can play in the bed.
3. im a casual i and i got a lot of games for my wii, i also buy a tablett but it dosent work with the wii
4. I’m a Jerk that i can’t even spell English Language properly.
