Nintendo has released a free demo for Donkey Kong Country Returns HD on the eShop. Switch users can download and play through the first world, Jungle, and experience its first three levels.
According to Nintendo Life, only Modern Mode is available, making it easier to complete, and progress doesn’t transfer to the game. The latter includes Original Mode, which mirrors the original Wii U release in difficulty due to fewer hearts and a more restrictive inventory.
Donkey Kong Country Returns HD launched last month, bringing the classic to Switch players for the first time. Alongside remastered visuals and JoyCon support, it features all the content and features from the Nintendo 3DS port. The latter introduced Modern Mode and added eight new levels in a brand new world.
