Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto reflected on Wii in a recent interview and mentioned that the console was particularly special to him.
While speaking with IGN, he said that the goal he and late Nintendo president Satoru Iwata had was to create something that anyone can play, regardless of their experience of games. Miyamoto noted how it makes him “happy to think that the population of people that play games increased because of the Wii.” That was in part thanks to the Wii Remote – a controller that anyone could use and understand fairly quickly.

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD review for Nintendo Switch
Posted on 3 days ago by Ethan in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: January 16, 2025
Developer: Forever Entertainment / Retro Studios
Publisher: Nintendo
With all the buzz around the new Nintendo Switch 2, it’s easy to forget that Donkey Kong Country Returns HD released on the same day of the big reveal. The original game released on Wii way back in 2010 and was praised for bringing the series back into the limelight for the first time in over ten years. Three years later, the game was ported to Nintendo 3DS where it received additional content in the form of brand new post-game levels. Now it’s 2025, and Donkey Kong has returned for a third time – and at full price to boot. Is Donkey Kong Country Returns HD a worthy Nintendo Switch remaster, and how does it stack up to its original release and 3DS port? And perhaps more importantly, how does it hold up against its sequel, which is also available on the console?

As we head into the sunset era of one of Nintendo’s most beloved consoles ever, it’s as good time as any to take a look at all that’s happened over the past eight years.
