What is Donkey Kong Country Returns HD?
Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is a refreshed take on a game that's been re-released before. Originally launched on the Wii in 2010, it saw a 3DS release in 2013 with eight exclusive levels. This new HD version includes every level from the original, plus the additional 3DS content.
This game doesn't shy away from difficulty, offering a challenging experience that can test your skills. However, for this Switch release, you can choose between the original tough mode or an easier mode from the 3DS version, which provides extra hearts and other aids to help you through the levels.
No matter which mode you choose, expect to jump over pits, swing on vines, blast out of barrels, and collect 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 exceptional game, and its arrival on the Switch breathes new life into this classic. For a deeper look into what's new and how it performs, check out our 8/10 review of Donkey Kong Country Returns HD.
