Donkey Kong HD Re-release: Price Sparks Fan Outrage

The upcoming remake of Retro Studios' 2010 Wii title, Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, is facing backlash from fans over its price point. This latest port to the Nintendo Switch family of consoles has ignited a debate amongst players.

Nintendo's recent Direct revealed that Forever Entertainment S.A. will release the enhanced Donkey Kong Country Returns HD on January 16, 2025. Available for pre-order on the Nintendo eShop, the game's $60 price tag has drawn significant criticism.

Reddit discussions highlight the perceived high cost, with users comparing it unfavorably to other Nintendo remasters, such as the $40 Metroid Prime remaster. However, counterarguments emphasize Donkey Kong's historically stronger sales figures and brand recognition, boosted by appearances in the successful Super Mario Bros. Movie and the upcoming Super Nintendo World expansion at Universal Studios Japan (delayed to late 2024).

Donkey Kong's enduring popularity, spanning 43 years since its creation by Shigeru Miyamoto, is undeniable. Previous Switch remakes of Donkey Kong titles, like Mario vs. Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, have achieved significant sales success. The legacy of Donkey Kong's strong performance on SNES and N64 further supports this.

Despite the controversy surrounding its price, Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, boasting a 9GB file size (2.4GB larger than the 2018 Tropical Freeze remake), is anticipated to continue the franchise's success.
