    I decided to get this game because I already have the original version for the Wii, but I didn’t have this remastered HD version for the Switch.

    Donkey Country Returns is a fantastic game and worth picking up if you didn’t get the chance to play it before. The levels are great and have lots of fun and unique elements. If you liked the SNES games you’ll love this. It’s very challenging at times, especially on the special temple levels, but it never feels unfair. Even with the HD upgrade though I think $60 is a lot to ask for a game that originally came out on the Wii. Overall though I’m still happy to see the game available on the Switch.

    Great Game - Another Remaster

    I first played this on the Wii, so there were a lot of motion controls involved with it at that time. It was fun to replay it in more of a standard control/controller format, but FYI, this isn’t a brand new entry into the Donkey Kong franchise. If you’re looking for the new game, you’ll have to filter for the Switch 2 games.

    Avid nintendo gamer. First time ever playing this game. The control for smashing ground/blowing air/rolling forward use the same button but change on whether you pressing forward/ down/ or no direction. So in the middle of a sequence when you have to act quickly those controls get messed up and accidently do an action you didnt intend to do. Id say this game is a bit harder and feustrating than most nintendo games.

    I played this game on the 3DS before I getting this remastered version for the Nintendo Switch. I thought they would used the fur texture from Tropical Freeze.

    Nintendo did an superb job bring back an old classic from the Nintendo DS and Gameboy advanced and modernized it to 21 century technology by enhancing the graphics and resolutions, pixels per second, sharpness and very detailed on the fur on Diddy and Donkey Kong and the Animals.
