Nintendo released a new trailer with a look at each Donkey Kong Country game on Switch in preparation for release Donkey Kong Country Returns HD on January 16, 2024.
If you have a subscription to the standard Nintendo Switch Online service, you can play every SNES game in the series right now. These include Donkey Kong Country, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble.
Available as a standalone purchase, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is a re-release of the Wii U title from Retro Studios, adding a new Funky Mode for the Switch version while keeping everything that made the original so damn good.
Finally, we have another look at the upcoming Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, the third release for Retro Studio's first foray into the platforming franchise. And you know what..? It looks a little better than the debut trailer earlier this year. It won't wow anyone, as it's still a fairly simple remaster, but developer Forever Entertainment seems to have achieved better parity with the visuals from Tropical Freeze.
That's a lot of Donkey Kong! It's clear that Nintendo is looking to give its new theme park expansion in Japan a bit of a marketing push, but something tells us that we could be getting a brand new Donkey Kong game soon. Maybe that rumored 3D Mario crossover..? Hmm, we'll see.
