What is Donkey Kong Country Returns HD?

Play

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 for the Switch includes all the levels from the original game, plus the additional 3DS levels, ensuring a comprehensive experience.

This game is known for its challenging gameplay, and the HD release offers two modes: the original tough-as-nails experience or a more forgiving mode from the 3DS version, which provides extra hearts and assistance. Whether you're navigating treacherous pits, swinging on vines, blasting out of barrels, or collecting bananas, there's plenty to keep you engaged. Plus, you can enjoy two-player couch co-op once you find Diddy Kong.

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is a stellar game that breathes new life into the franchise on the Switch. For a detailed look at what's new and how it holds up, check out our 8/10 review.
