What is Donkey Kong Country Returns HD?
Donkey Kong Country Returns HD isn't just a re-release; it's a compilation of previously released versions. Following its 2010 Wii debut and subsequent 2013 3DS port (which added eight exclusive levels), this HD version brings together all the levels from both releases.
Known for its challenging gameplay, this new release offers a choice: tackle the original brutal difficulty, or opt for the easier 3DS mode with extra hearts and helpful assists. Either way, get ready for classic platforming action—jumping, vine-swinging, barrel-blasting, banana-collecting, and more! And if you're feeling cooperative, team up with Diddy Kong for two-player couch co-op fun.
Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is a fantastic game, revitalized for the Switch. For a detailed breakdown of the enhancements and overall experience, check out our 8/10 review.
