W Is For...Wild West C.O.W.-Boys Of Moo Mesa!

So I'm coming towards the end of the A-Z series and for W I have chosen an old cartoon I used to watch which stars cows as cowboys! Clever? Of course the cartoon is Wild West C.O.W.-Boys Of Moo Mesa. 

I had forgotten about this cartoon until I came across the video game on my modded Xbox and the memories came flooding back!

Although those memories are still a bit fuzzy.

Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze

D....K....Donkey Kong!

I love this game series and for many years I never owned my own copy of a Donkey Kong game. The first time I played it was over my friend's house as I didn't own a Snes. I had a Nes however. 

But now I have my Wii U of course! I played Donkey Kong Country Returns for the Wii and that was an awesome game!

So I was clearly going to purchase Tropical Freeze with my Wii U.

Grim Fandango

Whilst playing The Curse Of Monkey Island you come across a skeleton with a bread knife embedded into his back. From his hat falls a button that says, 'ask me about Grim Fandango.' Well the guy's dead so you can't ask him anything.

Full of in-jokes, this was one about an upcoming point & click adventure game featuring a cast of skeletons and demons. Not very scary ones though.  Also the gameplay involved you using the arrow keys to move Manuel 'Manny' Calavera instead of clicking the mouse about the screen.

Getting My Nintendo On!

I recently said that after I was finished with Far Cry 4 that I would go out and buy a Wii U which is exactly what I've done! Man of my word see ;)

I bought the Mario Kart 8 premium bundle and also Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze and Smash Bros. I also bought Link and DK amiibos to go with it. 

Not even a week old I've finished the main levels in DK Tropical Freeze and played a fair bit of the other games too. Donkey Kong has always been a favourite of mine ever since playing it over my friend's house on the snes all those years ago.
