What is Donkey Kong Country Returns HD?
This isn't the first re-release for this title. Following its 2010 Wii debut, Nintendo ported it to the 3DS in 2013, adding eight exclusive levels. This HD version includes all original Wii levels plus the eight bonus 3DS levels.
The game is notoriously challenging. However, this release offers a selectable easier mode (from the 3DS version) providing additional hearts and gameplay assistance.
Expect classic Donkey Kong gameplay: 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 recommended title, receiving an 8/10 rating in our review. The review provides further details on enhancements and overall gameplay.
