![]() Even with the controls feeling "right," the game teeters on the edge of feeling ever so slightly unfriendly. Thus, I was forced to figure out how to properly bind waggle to my Dualshock 4's trigger. Truth be told, I did try to turn on cheats to remap the waggle actions to the Wii remote's B button, but all that ever did was completely break the controls for Diddy's glide. And the clock is stopped during bonus rooms, because those never needed time pressure. I've turned on a few - Diddy has infinite glide now, for instance, making him feel more like Dixie does in Tropical Freeze. Which makes me wonder if the Classic Controller code was the source of the dreaded latency - but then, that wouldn't explain Rayman Origins or the 3DS version of DKCR.īut I also discovered some of these Gecko cheats just don't work. better? Actually? More responsive than it did on real hardware. Setting up the latter was tricky, because DKCR actually looks for you waggling both the remote and nunchuk at the same time in order to register a proper ground pound.īut it feels. Obviously the Classic Controller support isn't needed on Dolphin, so I just set controller binds so that the R trigger grabs things and the L trigger waggles. Something Tropical Freeze fixed and was much better for! DKCR's waggle was maybe one of the most egregious "this really should have been a button" things ever, to me. It's worth mentioning that when I played DKCR on real hardware, I did so with the Gecko Cheat Code to enable Classic Controller Pro support because I refused to waggle. I don't know why, but I booted DKCR in Dolphin up a couple nights ago and actually spent kind of a long time setting up the controls so that it felt comfortable. I play through over half the game on the 3DS, getting up to the dinosaur/cliff world, but struggle to muster up the energy to finish the game. I guess it's probably better than it was on the Wii? But not much. The game just feels sluggish and unresponsive and hard to control in a way I don't enjoy. Point is, for my free game, I picked the 3DS port of Donkey Kong Country Returns. Was it really just a hardware problem for me? Could I play DKCR somewhere else and have a better experience? Nintendo runs a program where you get a free 3DS game as some kind of reward for a thing they're doing, like if you buy a certain amount of games in a short length of time you'd get something? I forget. So I start to wonder: everybody else loved DKCR. Whatever problems I had with the Wii game don't exist in Tropical Freeze. I'm thinking I'm going to savage this game's controls because of the way I felt with DKCR. Tropical Freeze, the sequel to DKCR comes, and I receive it for review on TSSZ. ![]() Either way, DKCR makes me so mad I don't even finish the second world, I don't think. Though, for the record, playing Rayman Origins on that same Wii also felt sluggish in the same way as DKCR, leading me to believe it might have been a hardware problem. Never figured out if I imagined it or if it was a real problem. The game did not feel responsive, like I'd push the jump button and it'd take a frame or two for Donkey Kong to actually jump. But some of that was also just, like, a strange problem with latency. Some of that is due to Donkey Kong himself, which is made to feel big and heavy like a 300lb gorilla ought to. The game felt prohibitively sluggish to me. I'd played Returns on real hardware near when it came out originally, and I sort of hated it.
