    Donkey Kong has always been a fun game to play. I loved playing the original and this is one is just as great!

    I used to play this game all the time on the Wii and I got it from the Nintendo switch because I would like to play it while I'm up north or I have free time.

    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.

    I know loads of people are giving this game low ratings because it plays like the original Wii game. However, its my first time playing this Donkey Kong game (never had a Wii or 3DS) and it is amazing! The graphics, music, and levels are all top notch!

    As someone who had never experienced the game before on prior Nintendo consoles and loving Tropical Freeze (Switch) - I wanted to add DK Returns to my Switch collection. I am glad I got it and it doesn't disappoint. Great courses, fun boss battles and different modes so everyone gets to play at whatever experience level.

    Classic DK loved it. I get the price point is upsetting and it’s just a remastered Wii game. But it still gives great vibes of when DK finally made his return back in the spotlight. Loved the game its sequel and looking forward to the Switch 2 game. If you haven’t played this games it’s a must if you love platformer’s.

    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.

    This game is amazing. It's very similar to tropical freeze and I love that it's Co-op as well! The final boss is pretty ridiculous in terms of difficulty, but I guess that's what's to be expected from a Donkey Kong game.

    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.
