What is Donkey Kong Country Returns HD?

This isn't the first re-release for Donkey Kong Country Returns. Following its 2010 Wii debut, Nintendo released a 3DS version in 2013, featuring eight exclusive levels. This HD release incorporates all original Wii levels plus the additional 3DS content.

Known for its challenging gameplay, this new version retains the original difficulty but also includes the easier mode from the 3DS release, providing extra hearts and assistance.

Expect classic platforming action: jumping, vine swinging, barrel blasting, banana collecting, and more. Two-player couch co-op is enabled upon finding Diddy Kong.

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is a highly recommended title, receiving an 8/10 rating in our review. For a detailed breakdown of new features and overall performance, check out our full review.
