Donkey Kong Country™ Returns HD

A Timeless Classic Gets the HD Treatment It Deserves! Donkey Kong Country Returns HD on Nintendo Switch is everything I hoped for and more. This is one of the best platformers of all time, now beautifully remastered in high definition—and it looks absolutely fantastic. The updated visuals breathe new life into every level, from the lush jungles to the blazing volcanoes. Everything feels more vibrant, sharper, and smoother than ever before. The gameplay holds up incredibly well. It’s that perfect blend of challenging platforming, clever level design, and tight controls. Whether you’re blasting out of barrel cannons, dodging giant boulders, or riding a rocket through a maze of danger, every moment is packed with excitement and creativity. It’s tough in all the right ways—never unfair, but always pushing you to get better. The HD version includes both single-player and two-player local co-op, which makes it a blast to play with friends or family. Diddy Kong’s jetpack adds a nice layer of strategy and makes it easier for new players to keep up. Whether you’re a longtime fan or totally new to the series, there’s a ton of fun here. One of the biggest highlights is the soundtrack—those iconic, remixed tunes hit all the right nostalgic notes while still feeling fresh and exciting. Combined with the new visual polish and buttery-smooth performance on Switch, it makes for a truly premium experience. This is Donkey Kong at his absolute best. Fun, fast-paced, and full of heart. Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is a must-play for platformer fans and an essential part of any Switch library. Nintendo knocked it out of the park with this one!

Fantastic Fun game nothing 1 player and 2. Some levels though best to play as one player

Donkey Kong Country Returns is a fantastic remaster of a platforming gem. It retains the charm, challenge, and creativity of the original while fixing its biggest flaw: motion controls. It may not reach the sheer polish of Tropical Freeze, but it’s a worthy adventure that stands tall in the Donkey Kong legacy. The two-player co-op mode is still chaotic fun. While it can be a bit tough to coordinate, it adds a layer of hilarity and teamwork that's great for couch play. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to the jungle, this one’s worth the climb. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for challenging and fun gameplay!

perfect gift for my grandson

Just like remember it, most levels are a great time. Others make me wanna bash my head against the wall, 10/10 would suggest for coop.

Nostalgic for the wife. She's never really been a gamer but did enjoy Mario and DK from back in the day. Been playing this on Switch 2 and she's addicted.

Great game as I remembered!!...just harder than I remember. Especially for a 4yr old!. Mario Odyssey was way more FUN!..for him

This is such a great game. Beautiful remaster of it!!! The switch 2 adds even more to that. I actually prefer this one to Bonanza. But I'm an older gamer, and this game plays perfect for me!
