Get pumped for more ground-pounding, barrel-blasting, banana-hording action in the next installment of the Donkey Kong Country series. A gang of marauding Vikings are after the banana hoard and you must join Donkey Kong and his friends Dixie and Diddy to save their home. A bushel of new gameplay elements and features await as you join gaming's greatest ape in an action-packed adventure through palm-tree dotted tropics and ice-cold frozen environments. Are you ready to take on intimidating foes and defend the banana stash with the most legendary primate of them all?Reclaim Donkey Kong Island or bust. Journey through five islands with a variety of stages that include underwater areas and frozen terrain with Diddy and Dixie Kong, both playable characters who offer unique gameplay experiences. Donkey Kong's traditional moves return with a few new additions that help you explore the environment and unlock secrets, including a plucking system that lets you pull items right from the ground. Every level features twisting, turning and transforming scenery that is brilliantly displayed with the dynamic rotating camera for a thrilling gameplay experience that sucks you right into the banana-craving adventure. Get your friends in on the wild and wooly action in a cooperative multiplayer mode that lets you share the fun.

Super Fun & Surprisingly Difficult!

All of what I love about Donkey Kong Country for the N64 and more! The gameplay is very challenging especially if you haven't played many platforms lately and finding all of the secrets makes the levels fun to revisit. Graphics are a step up for the Wii-U as well. It's a very fun game to play solo or with 2 players especially if you enjoyed the N64 DK game!

Enjoy immersive listening with these V-MODA Crossfade headphones. The 50mm dual-diaphragm drivers deliver clear, high-quality full-range sound, and the ergonomically designed headband and lightweight components provide comfort for long hours of use. Collapse these shadow V-MODA Crossfade headphones via the CliqFold hinge, and fit them in the included exoskeleton case for convenient portability.

Incredible Sound, Amazing Quality

How Often Used:Daily
Verified Purchase:Yes
I researched a new set of headphones for months and decided on these before I'd ever even tried a pair on. Luckily I was able to find a physical pair to try out and, 10 seconds after pumping some music through them, I was sold.
These sound amazing.. even moreso if you're a bass-head or enjoy making listening to your music more "fun." The sound is very accurate and presents the broadest range of tonality I've ever hear from a set of headphones. What's even better is that they aren't gigantic cans. They are a very reasonable (almost smallish) size for the sound and bass they produce. Which, coupled with they folding design and provided case, makes them very portable.
The only minor nick at all to my ratings is comfort and that is only because I wear these for 4-5 hours at a time and I haven't quite broken them in yet so the overall pressure exerted on my head is noticeable after 3 or 4 hours. The padding on the cups is very soft and they almost cover my entire ear making them very comfortable and providing excellent passive noise reduction.
Swappable cords (with plenty of length) are an excellent feature as is the ability to buy custom plates for anyone who likes a personalized look.
Are they pricey? Somewhat given other options that are out there BUT, try them on and hear for yourself. I can't recommend these incredible headphones enough.. if you're on the fence.. go for it!

Excellent Case

I always thought these cases were a bit too expensive considering how many options are out there but that changed as soon as I picked one up in person. I'm drawn to minimal design that's functional and well, this case is pretty much exactly that. The inside is soft to where it won't scratch your iPad and the exterior leather feels great to the touch.
Simply put, this is just a really, really nice case. If you're on the fence about buying it.. go for it. You won't regret it!

This 85mm is just about the sharpest lens I've ever used. Autofocus is extremely quick and image quality is absolutely incredible while attached to my Nikon D600. For the price, this is the best AF prime lens you can buy right now. Highly recommended!

Compatibility Question

Can someone please tell me if this is fully compatible with the Nikon D5100?

Thanks!
Yes, this lens will work with the D5100 as it has a built-in Silent Wave Motor. The overall image will be cropped due to the D5100 DX sensor but that just means you will be using the sharpest area of the lens.

You would also be able to use this lens if you ever decide to upgrade to a full-frame (FX) Nikon camera body.
