What is Donkey Kong Country Returns HD?

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is a revamped version of a game that has been re-released multiple times. Initially launched on the Wii in 2010, it was later released on the 3DS in 2013 with eight exclusive new levels. This new HD release includes all levels from the original game, plus the additional 3DS levels.

This game is known for its tough difficulty, and in this new release, you can choose to play in the original challenging mode or opt for the easier mode from the 3DS version, which provides extra hearts and other aids.

Expect to jump over pits, swing on vines, blast out of barrels, collect bananas, and more. Plus, you can enjoy two-player couch co-op once you find Diddy Kong in the game.

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is an excellent game, and it's exciting to see it revitalized on the Switch. For more details on what's new and how it stacks up, check out our 8/10 Donkey Kong Country Returns HD review.
