Returning next year.
Donkey Kong fans, the time to rise up has come. Donkey Kong Country returns in HD when Donkey Kong Country Returns HD releases on the Nintendo Switch, on January 16, 2025. Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is said to include the levels added by the Nintendo 3DS version and marks the second Donkey Kong Country game to be released on the Nintendo Switch.
Donkey Kong Country Returns HD: Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong are back for some ground-pounding action in this HD version of Donkey Kong Country Returns, originally released on Wii. The villainous Tiki Tak Tribe has stolen Donkey Kong’s precious banana hoard and the Kongs are barrelling after them in pursuit. Play solo, or with a buddy in local two-player co-op*2, in an adventure brimming with hijinks where you can stomp obstacles, send mine carts careening, fly high on rocket barrels and even hitch a ride on Rambi the Rhino. Experience 80 a-peel-ing levels, including the additional ones from the Nintendo 3DS version, when Donkey Kong Country Returns HD swings onto Nintendo Switch on 16th January 2025.
