Donkey Kong Country Returns HD overview trailer

Nintendo just shared a new overview trailer for Donkey Kong Country Returns HD. The video introduces the general premise, gameplay, and more.

Here’s what to expect from the game, courtesy of Nintendo:

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.

Nintendo also gave us the opening movie for Donkey Kong Country Returns HD this week. In case you missed it, we have that here.

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD will be out for Nintendo Switch on January 16, 2025.
