What is Donkey Kong Country Returns HD?
Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is an updated version of a beloved game that has seen multiple releases. Originally launched on the Wii in 2010, it made its way to the 3DS in 2013 with eight new exclusive levels. This HD release on the Switch includes every level from the original game, plus the additional 3DS levels.
This title is known for its demanding difficulty. In the new release, you can choose to tackle the game in its original challenging form or opt for the easier mode introduced in the 3DS version, which offers extra hearts and other aids.
Expect to navigate through treacherous landscapes, leap over perilous pits, swing on vines, rocket out of barrels, and collect countless bananas. The game also supports two-player couch co-op once you unlock Diddy Kong.
