Donkey Kong Country Returns

Donkey Kong was nowhere to be seen on the Wii for far too long, but 2010 saw his triumphant return. Donkey Kong Country Returns managed to capture the feeling of the SNES classics, a series we had been missing for over a decade now. Retro Studios proved their 2D chops with the game, bringing Donkey Kong into the current generation with a game that was challenging, exciting, and innovative. The co-op play was way more than a "girlfriend mode" and the end of the game was so difficult it made us finally feel like we were playing a legit Nintendo game on the Wii.
