[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]] is the most recent Retro release, and their first game on the Wii U; along with the new console came a large overhaul of the engine, with a lot of old formats being removed, a lot of new ones introduced, and a lot of the remaining ones being overhauled completely.
''This article is for the SAVW format from Metroid Prime 1 and 2. See [[SAVW (File Format)]] for the other revisions of this format.''
 
The '''SAVW format''' determines what data gets saved to the memory card. It's used to save information on non-hardcoded parts of the game, like whether a particular MemoryRelay has been activated, whether you've scanned a particular scan has been fully scanned, etc.

* There's a lot of leftover remnants of a PC build running on DX11 that was presumably used during development, including an archive of compiled HLSL shaders, numerous references to DX11, and a controls setup for PC.
