What is Donkey Kong Country Returns HD?

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is a revamped version of a game that's seen multiple releases. Originally launched on the Wii in 2010, it was re-released on the 3DS in 2013 with eight additional levels exclusive to the handheld. This new HD release includes every level from the original game, plus those extra 3DS levels, making it a comprehensive package.

As mentioned, this game is known for its challenging difficulty. In this new release, you can choose to play in the original tough mode or opt for an easier mode from the 3DS version, which provides extra hearts and other aids to help you through the levels.

No matter how you play, you'll find yourself jumping over pits, swinging on vines, blasting out of barrels, and collecting bananas. Plus, you can enjoy two-player couch co-op once you find Diddy Kong in the game.

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is an excellent game, and it's fantastic to see it revitalized on the Switch. For a deeper dive, check out our 8/10 review of Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, which covers the new features and overall experience.
