Country Returns breathed life back into the franchise and was considered the spiritual successor of the original Donkey Kong: Country trilogy from the Super Nintendo era. From the 2D platforming to its cartoon style, Retro Studios stayed true to the essence of the classic games while introducing new elements.

With the incoming release of Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, Techopedia looks back at five memorable moments from the series as a whole.

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is more than just a remaster. It is a celebration of one of gaming’s most beloved franchises. Originally released for the Wii in 2010, this HD version enhances the original release with stunning visuals,

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD takes everything that worked on Wii and 3DS and adds an HD coat of paint and multiple control schemes.

I owe Donkey Kong Country Returns HD an apology. I laughed in disbelief at its initial announcement because it’s not only the third time Nintendo has sold us a version of this 2010 Wii platformer, it’s also the third Switch re-release Donkey Kong has seen despite not getting a completely new adventure in the last decade.

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is basically the same game that arrived on the Nintendo 3DS a decade ago, but that isn’t such a bad thing.

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is the definitive version of a great platformer that finally brings the best of the Wii and 3DS versions into one. But the lack of new stuff makes it a hard sell as a full-priced Nintendo Switch game.

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is a remaster of a game that was on the Wii and then on the Nintendo 3DS. I played both versions, and also this newest version. Donkey Kong's a great game, but Nintendo should reconsider how it prices classics like this in the future as we approach Year 9 of the Switch Family's lifecycle.
