What is Donkey Kong Country Returns HD?

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is a refreshed take on a game that has seen multiple releases. 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 is known for its challenging gameplay, and this new release offers two modes: the original tough-as-nails experience or an easier mode from the 3DS version, which provides extra hearts and other aids to help you through.

No matter which mode you choose, you'll be navigating through treacherous pits, swinging on vines, blasting out of barrels, collecting 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 a fantastic game, and it's great to see it revitalized on the Switch. For a detailed look at what's new and how it holds up, check out our 8/10 review of Donkey Kong Country Returns HD.
