Nintendo has released a three-minute overview trailer for Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, introducing the game’s Donkey Kong Island setting, stage elements, control modes, and more.
Here is an overview of the game, via Nintendo.com:
Jump, roll, and stomp through Donkey Kong Island in 2D platforming action.
Help Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong recover their precious banana hoard from the villainous Tiki Tak Tribe! Stomp enemies, blast through barrels, and ride rockets and mine carts (and even Rambi the rhino) in 80 levels across nine worlds.
Play the game as it was first designed for the Wii system, or reduce the difficulty for extra hearts and other goodies to make your journey a little easier. This barrel-blasting adventure is visually enhanced in HD for the Nintendo Switch system and includes the extra levels from the Nintendo 3DS version!
Team up with a friend and take on the whole game as Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong
Pass a Joy-Con controller to a buddy and take on the Tiki Tak Tribe as DK and Diddy in two-player local play. Pelt foes with Diddy’s Peanut Popgun and hover using his Barrel Jet, and slam bad guys into submission with DK’s Ground Pound—or just Barrel Roll right through them. Work together to reclaim those bananas by the bunch!
Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is due out for Switch on January 16, 2025.
