What is Donkey Kong Country Returns HD?

[] Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is a re-release of a re-release! Initially launched on Wii in 2010, it later appeared on 3DS in 2013 with eight exclusive levels. This HD version includes all original Wii levels and the extra 3DS content.

This game is famously challenging. However, this release offers the original difficulty alongside an easier mode (from the 3DS version) providing extra hearts and assistance.

Expect classic Donkey Kong gameplay: leaping across chasms, swinging from vines, barrel blasting, banana collecting, and much more. Two-player couch co-op is also available once you find Diddy Kong.

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is an excellent game, revitalized for the Switch. Read our 8/10 review for a detailed look at the improvements and overall experience.
