Donkey Kong Country Nintendo Switch series trailer includes another look at DKC Returns HD

Nintendo published a new Donkey Kong Country series trailer today highlighting how all of the games are out on Switch. As part of that, we have another look at the upcoming Donkey Kong Country Returns HD. Also, footage is shown for the SNES trilogy and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze.

Here’s an overview of Donkey Kong Country Returns HD:

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!
