The RetroBeat: I’m finally ready to appreciate Donkey Kong Country 2

When you ask someone to name their favorite SNES games, you hear a lot of the same names brought up: Super Metroid, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Chrono Trigger, and so on. And I agree.

A lot of people also put Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest in that top tier. For a long time, I wouldn’t. As a kid growing up with SNES, I just wasn’t all that into the Donkey Kong Country games. I’m not even sure why. Maybe they were too difficult for me. Maybe I was too much of an obnoxious Sega fanboy when they were new.
