I only played the Wii U version for a while, and lost interest. Not because it sucked, but because I had SO many other (more interesting) games to play. But I loved the original one on Wii, once I forced myself to play through it.

Great! I’m sure it’ll continue to sell well for a while longer.
I’m just glad more people are experiencing the game now. It’s an awesome game, the best of all the DKCs in my opinion.
This is just more proof for why ports of underappreciated Wii U games are a good idea.
Maybe we’ll get a sequel someday.

With all the Wii U ports finding success on the Switch, it really makes me hope Xenoblade Chronicles X makes it over eventually. That game deserved much better than the sales it got on Wii U.
