What is Donkey Kong Country Returns HD?

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD revives a classic that has seen multiple iterations. Originally released on the Wii in 2010, it was later re-released on the 3DS in 2013 with eight exclusive levels. This HD version brings back all the original levels and includes those additional 3DS levels, ensuring a comprehensive experience.

True to its roots, this game is notoriously challenging. However, for this Switch release, you have the option to play in the original difficult mode or opt for an easier setting inspired by the 3DS version, which provides extra hearts and other aids to help you through the game.

Expect to leap over chasms, swing on vines, rocket out of barrels, gather bananas, and more. Plus, once you unlock Diddy Kong, you can enjoy two-player couch co-op, adding a social element to the adventure.

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is a standout title, and its arrival on the Switch breathes new life into a classic. For a deeper dive into what's new and how it holds up, check out our 8/10 review of Donkey Kong Country Returns HD.
