What is Donkey Kong Country Returns HD?
Donkey Kong Country Returns HD isn't just a port; it's a compilation. Initially released on Wii in 2010 and later on 3DS in 2013 (with eight exclusive levels), this HD release combines all levels from both versions.This game is notoriously challenging. However, this release includes the easier mode from the 3DS version, offering additional hearts and helpful features for those seeking a less intense experience.
Expect classic Donkey Kong gameplay: jumping, vine swinging, barrel blasting, banana collecting, and more. Two-player couch co-op is also available once you find Diddy Kong.
Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is a fantastic game, revitalized for the Switch. Read our 8/10 review for a deeper dive into the enhancements and overall experience.
