What is Donkey Kong Country Returns HD?
Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is a refreshed take on a game that has already seen a re-release. Originally launched on the Wii in 2010, it was later re-released on the 3DS in 2013 with eight exclusive levels. This HD version includes all the original levels plus those additional 3DS levels.
This game doesn't hold back on difficulty, offering a challenging experience that true fans will appreciate. However, for this new release, players can choose between the original challenging mode or an easier mode introduced in the 3DS version, which provides extra hearts and other aids to help you through the game.
Expect to jump over pits, swing on vines, blast out of barrels, collect bananas, and more. You can also enjoy two-player couch co-op once you find Diddy Kong in the game.
Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is a fantastic game, and it's great to see it revived on the Switch. For a detailed look at what's new and how it performs, check out our comprehensive 8/10 review of Donkey Kong Country Returns HD.
