£39.99 as it is a 50 tier game.£49.99
As was previously said. The Wii U and gamepad only output in 60Hz, they do this by duplicating every 5th frame; resulting in scrolling being noticeably jerky. As a result it is still relevant even for this game.This question is sorta irrelevant since the PAL versions of the game looked and played exactly the same as the NTSC versions. They didn't have PAL borders or slowdowns.
Europe gets DKC and we get Castlevania this month, sounds like we need a hostage exchange to happen.

We should all be able to share in such gaming wealth, I'm ready to pounce on Circle of the Moon and Aria of Sorrow, NoE just need to give the go ahead.Europe gets DKC and we get Castlevania this month, sounds like we need a hostage exchange to happen.
How much will the Donkey Kong Country games be?
They were translated.
But people should not be warned. As I said in my previous post the games neither had PAL borders nor the typical PAL slowdown.
They have the same 4:3 format the NTSC versions had and they're running at the same speed.
Funny, I think that of all the Land games I'd only ever get the first as it's the only one with really original levels and even an original world theme.
They will all be mine, except maybe original DKL.

Donkey Kong Land 2's version of Stickerbush Symphony is super impressive to me for some reason
I'm absolutely loving Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze. Music is godly. Which ones out of these select games are good for the Wii U VC? I've never played them. I was going to get The Wii one but not sure DKC2 and 3. How do they compare?

DKC2 is one of the greatest platformers of all time.
DKC3 has some good parts.

Year of the Donkey Kong.
They're all fantastic. I can never decide what my Favourite is, but I'd say DKC2 is probably the fan favourite. DKC2 also has the best soundtrack of the three.
I have all three on my Wii U via the Wii VC. Hopefully the upgrade discount applies for these, even though they've been off the Wii Shop Channel for years.
Any hope that they might be 60Hz versions? I've got no time in my life for 50Hz Virtual Console games.
What is the reason the trilogy had been removed from the Wii VC a few years back? I thought it might had something to do with Rare, but that wouldn't make much sense since 1) at the moment they had been with Microsoft for a year or 7 already, and 2) all DKC licenses were with Nintendo?
Never played the Rare trilogy, absolutely loved both Retro DKC's, so I'm probably going to try these Rare ones if the pricing is right. But I think they haven't aged well e.g. needs more time getting into if you're used to Retro's DKC, right?
Wait, 50hz!? Fuck off, Nintendo.
I won't be buying. Yet again.
Why not DKC for GameBoy Color on the 3DS too? That's a pretty decent port and looks a lot sharper than DKL1,2,3 though they are all new games in comparison.
The GBC version of DKL3 that only came out in Japan is okay, but doesn't really push the hardware to make it look like DKC for GBC - it's the same graphics just with added color.
Also, heres something interesting, when I was in Paris earlier this year looking at all the game shops - I saw a GBC version of Donkey Kong Country 2, Go figure, ive never seen or heard of that anywhere before?

But I thought those DKC games were great even in PAL? Rare always optimised their PAL games very well, unlike Nintendo.
They are. He's just default-whining. Everybody knows: if game translated = game 50Hz on PAL VC. Pretending to be surprised and throwing a fit is pure trolling and nothing else.
Absolutely not. Its a matter of principle for me. Super Metroid and Zelda are butchered in the Wii U versions.
People speculated it was about the RARE logo being all over the game, including in-game assets like the coins and stuff. Nobody knows for sure. At least nobody that can tell us lol.
Yes, they are, but DKC games works just like 60hz versions, so what's the problem?

IIRC, Wii U doesn't output at 50Hz through HDMI or the gamepad, so I'm not sure what will happen with these games.

If that was the reason, Microsoft should use the eShop release of DKC1-3 and DKL1-3 to announce Banjo-Threeie and remind all Nintendo fans that Rare is still alive.
Was SNES DKC Trilogy translated?

At least DKC2 was:
The game was multilingual in Europe. I'm pretty sure that Spanish was included as well. It wasn't different ROMs like Link To The Past.
According to this there is http://fantendo.wikia.com/wiki/Donkey_Kong_Country_2_(Game_Boy_Color), maybe it was a very limited print.
