Nintendo has released a new video for Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, its enhanced port of the 2010 Wii platformer. It’s a remade version of the intro, which sees the Tiki Tak Tribe emerging and immediately brainwashing the jungle’s animals into stealing all the Kongs’ bananas. Check it out below.
While various creatures do their bidding, the song and dance routine doesn’t work on Donkey Kong, who sets out with Diddy Kong to recover his hoard. Alongside improved, higher-resolution textures, the intro is much snappier than the original, getting players to the action faster.
Donkey Kong Country Returns HD launches for Nintendo Switch on January 16th, 2025. Check out the overview trailer here, which outlines the gameplay loop and features from the Nintendo 3DS port, like Modern Mode. Compared to the difficulty of Classic Mode, it offers more Hearts and benefits like Crash Guard to prevent damage from a few Mine Cart collisions.
