    Platforming At It's Finest

    This is an amazing, peak platforming game. It is pretty difficult if you're going for 100%, which is really what makes any platformer difficult. It's definitely a must have for a gamer that loves platforming and a fair challenge. It's classic Nintendo.

    This is a great game, especially now that it’s in hd and the graphics have been updated a bit. I use a switch pro controller to play this, it’s much better than using a wiimote cause of the motion controls. The colors really pop on a lg oled tv. It’s just a well made remake of a Wii game and highly recommend this game if you like the donkey Kong country games on the Super Nintendo. It’s very similar in gameplay. Hope this helps someone out.

    DKC Returns Returns!

    This is a great old-school 2D platformer. A worthy follow-up to the Donkey Kong Country series on the Super Nintendo. Some levels are a little needlessly difficult, or rather take numerous attempts to learn all the ups and downs you need to navigate. Still, a solid sidescrolling adventure with a little more grit than Mario.

    Fun game! Didn't realize it is a re-release from Wii to Switch. They play with background and foreground platforming just like Super Mario Wonder. Brings on nostalgia from SNES DK Country. Best Buy shipped and was delivered next day. Great buying experience!

    Great Game, Bad Price

    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.

    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.
