Donkey Kong Country Returns HD demo released

If you’ve had some interest in Donkey Kong Country Returns HD but have yet to pick up the game, you might be interested to hear that a demo is available. Nintendo just put it up on the eShop.

As many of you know, Donkey Kong Country Returns HD already launched last week. Nintendo typically distributes these trials before launch, but that wasn’t the case here. Still, it’s better late than never.

For those looking for more information about the game, read the following overview:

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.

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is out on Nintendo Switch worldwide along with the demo. You can check out our review of the game here.
