Donkey Kong Returns in HD on the Nintendo Switch

The impressive Donkey Kong Country Returns for the Wii is getting an HD upgrade for the Nintendo Switch this January.

While this may not have been the Donkey Kong news fans were hoping to get, today’s Nintendo Direct did bring some DK goodness. Donkey Kong Country Returns is finally getting an HD upgrade for the Nintendo Switch (which it’s sequel, Tropical Freeze, already had).

It’s a fantastic game and I’m thrilled more people will finally get the chance to play it. Plus, it even includes the extra levels from the Nintendo 3DS version of the game. So it’s got something for returning players as well!

Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong are back for some ground-pounding action in this HD version of Donkey Kong Country Returns, originally released on the Wii system. The villainous Tiki Tak Tribe has stolen Donkey Kong’s precious banana hoard and the Kongs are barreling after them in pursuit! Play solo, or with a buddy in local two-player co-op 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.

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD hits Nintendo Switch on January 16, 2025.
