Donkey Kong Country Returns HD Trailer Hypes up Imminent Launch

Nintendo seemingly has bigger fish to fry in the days ahead with the Switch 2 allegedly set to be announced imminently, but the Japanese giant has other irons in the fire as well. Donkey Kong Country Returns will return (for the second time) soon, and ahead of its release, Nintendo has premiered a launch trailer. Check it out below. 

Handled by Forever Entertainment, you should expect Donkey Kong Country Returns HD to be a fairly conservative remaster. Its changes and additions will include a remade intro, minor visual enhancements, JoyCon support, QoL improvements and new content carried over from the platformer’s 3DS version, and the like. The original remains a modern platforming classic, however, so those wishing to experience it for the first time (or re-experience it) will want to keep an eye out. 

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD launches for the Nintendo Switch on January 16. Curiously, the remaster doesn’t credit the work of the original developer, Retro Studios. Read more on that through here.
