OK I am such a King Hippo-crite. Exactly what I said I am tired of, but damn I want to play this! I think the Punch Out Arcade machine pushed it over the edge. I feel so manipulated.

My pants are fitting funny with the release of DKC Tropical Freeze just a few short days away.
Can. Not. Wait.

Man, they're not even trying.

What am I looking at here?
You usually press the Select (-) button to switch to gamepad mode. There may not be anything on the screen during gameplay, but there should still be Gamepad mode. Though, I agree they should have at least put a map or some kind of info as a second screen. Kind of surprised they didn't.
It got a great review (9/10) on IGN.
*stands behind a corner for cover* I've never been a big fan of the DK Country games or any since then, but am somewhat interested in this.
As for the gamepad, I hate games that duplicate the TV on the gamepad screen, so if nothing is displayed while I'm playing on TV, I'm perfectly fine with that, ESPECIALLY if it turns the screen off completely to save battery. Then again, if that's the case, I'll use the pro controller anyway so long as it's supported.

That's a really good point. I know you have the extended battery, but the standard battery is really, really bad. I feel like I have to plug it in every time I play.
Yeah, I was basically plugging it in every time I was done - 2 or so hours of play was too much for it, plus we use it for Hulu and Netflix most of the time, so it drained quick. When I'm not using the pad (but am using the pro controller or whatever), I usually try to remember to turn off the display...though I wish it was a switch on the device rather than having to dig into a settings menu every time, but hey, you can't win them all.
Destructiod gave tropical freeze a perfect 10. Wow! I can't wait to play this!

More importantly Famitsu gave it 9/8/9/9 for a score.
More important for Japanese people?

Well, it is the site I use now that EGM is long gone. That are particularly tough on their reviews.

Funny, i see EGM mags have been restored back on the magazine racks in the store.
There like 4 issues a year.
