What is Donkey Kong Country Returns HD?

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is a refreshed version of a previously re-released title. Following its 2010 Wii debut and subsequent 2013 3DS port (featuring eight exclusive levels), this HD release incorporates all original levels plus the added 3DS content.

This challenging game offers a choice: experience the original difficulty or utilize the easier 3DS mode, providing extra hearts and assistance. Expect classic platforming action—jumping, vine swinging, barrel blasting, banana collecting, and more. Two-player couch co-op is also available with Diddy Kong.

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is a stellar title, enjoying a well-deserved revival on the Switch. Our 8/10 review provides further insights into its enhancements and overall quality.
