Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is swinging onto the Nintendo Switch on January 16th! This updated version of the classic Wii and 3DS title promises a return to the vibrant world of tropical island adventure.
However, the game's release has been slightly preempted. Nintendeal's X account revealed that some gamers already have access, and pre-orders are reportedly sold out at various US retailers. Images of the physical game case were even shared:
While Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is a remaster, be mindful of potential spoilers online. Those waiting for launch day should exercise caution to avoid ruining the experience.
This isn't the first time Nintendo has faced early game releases. Despite these occasional leaks, the company continues to enjoy immense popularity, with anticipation for their titles consistently high.
Meanwhile, the long-awaited Nintendo Switch 2 is generating considerable buzz. Numerous leaks suggest Nintendo is nearing a formal announcement, possibly taking the reins from the steady stream of insider information. Nintendo itself has promised a reveal before March ends.
Prominent blogger NateTheHate claims the announcement is slated for this Thursday, January 16th! However, he tempers expectations, suggesting the focus will likely be on hardware specifications rather than software details.
