What is Donkey Kong Country Returns HD?
Donkey Kong Country Returns HD revitalizes a modern classic that previously saw a 2013 3DS re-release. This definitive version combines all original Wii content with the handheld's eight exclusive levels.
True to its roots, the game remains challenging - though players can now opt for the easier mode from the 3DS version, featuring additional hearts and assists. Whether scaling vines, blasting from barrels, or collecting bananas, you're in for classic platforming at its finest. Two-player local co-op becomes available when unlocking Diddy Kong.
With its polished visuals and complete content package, this HD remaster breathes new life into an excellent title. For an in-depth analysis, check our 8/10 Donkey Kong Country Returns HD review.
