Excellent game, but overpriced

Always loved Returns, and it's great to be able to play the game in HD AND on the go, but $60 for an otherwise low effort - but certainly still more than playable and serviceable - port/remaster of a 15+ year old Wii game (that's also already been ported once before) that was never $60 either time it was previously released (and that even got a Nintendo Selects reprint for $20, at least on the 3DS) is absolutely greedy and inexcusable. Especially when things like Metroid Prime Remastered exists, which is from the same company and had WAY more effort put into it despite only being $40. Definitely recommend to anyone who has played the game and wouldn't mind forking out the extra cash to replay it in HD and/or on the go, or especially anyone who has never played the older two releases, but it should have been $30-40 AT MOST. Three stars is, regrettably, the best I can give to an otherwise fantastic five star game due to the price alone. Lack of effort wouldn't have mattered as much were it not for that. :/

Very fun and a return to the classic wii control scheme if you want in the menu is a very nice touch

The true king of kong has returned! Although I'd stop drinking and donate a kidney for a remaster of the three donkey kong country games! Great game!

A bit of nostalgia when playing DK. Graphics are a lot better of course but the same smash monkey concept. It’s great!

A remaster of a nearly perfect game, but nothing new here from a 15 year old game that is worth the full price of admission in 2025. Though if you’ve never played it before and are willing to pay full price for a game from 2010, guaranteed you will have a great time.

Title says it all. It’s the same Wii game, now in HD. Not much else has been done to the game other than some new difficulty options & levels. The game is still a classic & fun to play.
