Donkey Kong Country Returns HD “The Heist” trailer

Nintendo shared the latest Donkey Kong Country Returns HD trailer today known as “The Heist”, which is essentially the opening movie. If you’ve played the original game on Wii or the Nintendo 3DS version, you’ll know what this is about. The video is essentially the same as it was back in the way.

Here’s an overview of the title:

Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong are back for some ground-pounding action in this HD version of Donkey Kong Country Returns, originally released on Wii. The villainous Tiki Tak Tribe has stolen Donkey Kong’s precious banana hoard and the Kongs are barrelling after them in pursuit. Play solo, or with a buddy in local two-player co-op, in an adventure brimming with hijinks where you can stomp obstacles, send mine carts careening, fly high on rocket barrels and even hitch a ride on Rambi the Rhino. Experience 80 a-peel-ing levels, including the additional ones from the Nintendo 3DS version.
