Oh you hackers and your insatiable thirst for unused content...
The crew over at The Cutting Room Floor, who live to discover cut content in games, have found an unused achievement-style system in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze.
The achievements seem a pretty stock-standard affair, but it’s a long list all the same. Check ’em out below!
While we’ve got a chance to ask, would you like to see Nintendo venture into achievements and the like for all their games? Or is it better to leave it up to the developers discretion? Shoot down to the comments and let us know!
