Like the Super Mario titles of generations past, Donkey Kong Country Returns challenges the player with the apparently simple task of moving from A to B by traversing a two-dimensional plain generously peppered with ledges, moving scenery, bottomless pits and wildly jerking contraptions that are all designed to outwit the titular protagonist. And yet, in spite of this reputation for leading the medium into new realms, where Nintendo often excels is in a gaming form largely consigned to history: the humble platformer. The company popularised gesture-control though the Wii, and used the DS to charm swathes of non-gamers into picking up a stylus. N intendo, it is fair to say, can take much credit for innovation in gaming's recent past.
