What is Donkey Kong Country Returns HD?

This isn't the first re-release for this title. Following its 2010 Wii debut, Nintendo released a 3DS version in 2013, featuring eight exclusive levels. This HD edition includes all original levels plus the additional 3DS content.

The game maintains its notoriously challenging gameplay. However, this release offers an easier mode (borrowed from the 3DS version) providing extra hearts and assistance for less experienced players.

Expect classic platforming action: jumping, vine swinging, barrel blasting, banana collecting, and more. Two-player couch co-op is also available after unlocking Diddy Kong.

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is a superb title, revitalized for the Switch. Our 8/10 review provides further details on improvements and overall quality.
