10 Nintendo Games To Keep You Happy Until The Next Metroid
4. Donkey Kong 64
Simply put, Donkey Kong 64 is a collecting maniac's dream. If you play Metroid because of the thrill you feel with every missile tank and energy upgrade you track down, DK's N64 outing will keep you busy for a very, very long time indeed.
It's a 3D platformer similar in essence to Mario 64 (dunno if you've heard of that), and there are four separate Kongs to rescue and unlock (not including Donkey who you start with). Amazingly, every Kong has unique abilities and their own hidden secrets to find, meaning you'll be going over the world with a fine tooth comb for quite some time. These days you'd probably have to pay for the last two Kongs as DLC or something, so pick up DK64 on the Wii U eShop today, and be transported to a simpler, cheaper time.
Oh yeah, you're also 100% guaranteed to dig the rap at the start of the game.
