Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze

One of the best Wii U Games for Toddlers is Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze, it is a masterpiece. the story line keeps you on your toes throughout the whole game and the graphics amazing, there's so much vibrant color and imagination in this game, it's fantastic. As you journey across 6 distinct islands filled with dynamic levels and non-stop action.


You  are on a quest to reclaim the frozen Donkey Kong Island from the invading Snowmads. Master Donkey Kong’s ground pound and each of his buddy’s unique abilities to navigate diverse island environments like Mangrove swamps, Savannah storms, ocean depths, and the frozen lands of Donkey Kong Island.

 You'll be enjoying a 2-D platformer with a tangible rhythmic quality to it that is very satisfying, with controls so tight you can bounce a quarter off the game and make change. You'll be collecting red balloons, banana coins, and literally hundreds upon hundreds of bananas. KONG levels and puzzle pieces are hidden cleverly in the levels. Mine carts return to turn you into a sweat-drenched, adrenaline-drained husk.

 The controls are very responsive, the game looks amazing, the levels are beautiful and challenging for adults, but so much fun for your pre-schooler at the basic levels.
The music is fantastic, best of all, this game sees the return of David Wise, the brilliant composer behind the original Donkey Kong Country trilogy's incredible music. Remember the unspeakably awesome atmosphere of songs like "Aquatic Ambiance" and "Stickerbrush Symphony?" This game has songs of that caliber


The Not So Good Features of Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze

A big complaint with the game is that Dixie Kong is overpowered. While playing through the game, you get the choice of playing with Diddy, Dixie or Cranky in addition to Donkey Kong. Cranky is sometimes useful as he can attack underwater and jump through spikes, but Diddy is useless since his jetpack will let you float, but Dixie's hair will let you both float AND fly upwards. This makes Diddy obselete since there is nothing he does that Dixie doesn't do better. There is no point in him being in the game

Yoshi's Woolly World



Yoshi's Woolly World


Woolly World is the spiritual successor of Epic Yarn. This is a family friendly game which includes moving platforms, boss battles, hub worlds, lava stages, ice stages and so many more fun stages. There are two difficulty levels and you can switch difficulty at any time (even in the middle of the level). The levels are the same either way. It's just if you change to mellow mode your Yoshi’s can float fly forever which gives you a way to avoid falling to death and sometimes to skip whole parts of a level. 

Everything is made out of yarn, felt, and cotton balls. Backdrops are obviously hanging fabric, buttons are everywhere, and balls of yarn littler the landscapes You feel as though you can reach out and grab your Yoshi’s as the graphics are amazing. There are so many cool ways to use the yarn.

The Yoshi Woolly story involves Kamek turning the Yoshis into yarn and scattering them throughout the worlds. Green Yoshi must retrieve all the yarn to turn them back into their regular Yoshi selves. The game is split into worlds and levels much like Yoshi's Island. You can collect beads (which replace coins) to get badges that will help Yoshi on his way and once you collect all 5 yarn balls from any given level, you'll be able to use a new Yoshi!

Pre Schoolers will initially need the help of a parent or sibling at points even with mellow mode. Mellow mode or not, you can take these levels at your own pace.

Yoshi's Woolly World  is also available with a Yarn Bundle, this is where you will be able to unravel their secrets and color or your worlds with a variety of yarn balls.

Epic Mickey 2 Wii U

Disney has another great game with Wii U for Pre-Schoolers and that is Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two.

Mickey Mouse and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit to Wasteland, an alternate world filled with 80 years of forgotten Disney characters and theme park attractions. But for the first time, Mickey and Oswald will join forces as true partners - Mickey with his magical paint brush that wields paint and thinner, and Oswald with his powerful remote control that allows him to command electricity.

Epic Mickey 2 - The Power of Two storyline features a variety of new and returning characters that will further immerse players in Disney's rich history while adversaries familiar and new will challenge players.



Players can play as Oswald in drop-in, dropout 2-player co-op mode. The Power of Two will be evident as Oswald participates in Mickey's adventure every step of the way. For the price, I would say that this game is definitely worth the money
