What is Donkey Kong Country Returns HD?
This isn't the first re-release for Donkey Kong Country Returns. Following its 2010 Wii debut, it was ported to the 3DS in 2013, adding eight exclusive levels. This HD version includes all original Wii levels plus the additional 3DS content.
The game is notoriously challenging. However, this release offers both the original difficulty and an easier mode (from the 3DS version) with extra hearts and assistance.
Expect classic Donkey Kong gameplay: jumping, vine swinging, barrel blasting, banana collecting, and more. Two-player couch co-op is also available after finding Diddy Kong.
Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is a highly recommended title, receiving an 8/10 rating in our review. Check out our review for more details on the enhancements and overall experience.
