What is Donkey Kong Country Returns HD?

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

The game maintains its challenging gameplay. However, players can now select an easier mode (originally featured in the 3DS version) offering additional hearts and assistance.

Expect classic platforming action: navigating treacherous pits, swinging on vines, barrel blasting, banana collecting, and much more. Two-player couch co-op is also available upon finding Diddy Kong.

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is a highly-rated title, receiving an 8/10 in our review. Check out our full review for a detailed breakdown of the enhancements and overall experience.
