What is Donkey Kong Country Returns HD?

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is a refreshed take on a game that has seen multiple releases. Initially launched on the Wii in 2010, it was later re-released on the 3DS in 2013 with eight exclusive levels. This new HD version on the Switch includes all the original levels plus the additional 3DS levels, ensuring you get the full experience.

This game is known for its challenging gameplay, and the HD release offers both the original tough mode and an easier mode from the 3DS version, complete with extra hearts and other aids to help you through the levels. Expect to jump over pits, swing on vines, blast out of barrels, and collect bananas, all while enjoying the option of two-player couch co-op once you find Diddy Kong.

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is an excellent game, and its arrival on the Switch breathes new life into this beloved title. For a detailed look at what's new and how it performs, check out our 8/10 Donkey Kong Country Returns HD review.
