What is Donkey Kong Country Returns HD?
This isn't the first re-release; following its 2010 Wii debut, it appeared on the 3DS in 2013 with eight exclusive levels. This HD version includes all original levels plus the additional 3DS content.
Prepare for a challenging experience. While retaining the original difficulty, this release also offers an easier mode (from the 3DS version) featuring extra hearts and assistance.
Expect classic gameplay: leaping across gaps, vine swinging, barrel blasting, banana collecting, and much more. Two-player couch co-op is available after finding Diddy Kong.
Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is a superb title, revitalized for the Switch. Our 8/10 review highlights the enhancements and overall quality.
