About
Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong are back for some ground-pounding action in this HD version of Donkey Kong Country Returns, originally released on the Wii system.
Play solo, or with a buddy in local two-player co-op, in an adventure brimming with hijinks where you can stomp obstacles, send mine carts careening, fly high on rocket barrels and even hitch a ride on Rambi the Rhino.
Experience 80 a-peel-ing levels, including the additional ones from the Nintendo 3DS version.

Critic reviews
- Game Informer8.8Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is a fantastic reminder that the franchise that began on the Super Nintendo in 1994 is a real competitor for Nintendo’s best 2D platforming series, an extremely competitive landscape. Retro took the baton in 2010 and nailed it and even though this version of the game isn’t necessarily Returns at its strongest, it is still an excellent way to recover all of Donkey Kong’s bananas – a worthwhile pursuit especially if you missed it in 2010.

- Gaming Bolt7.0GOOD While this remaster doesn’t do justice to this game’s significant legacy, Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is still a good way to play a very addictive game.
- Hardcore Gamer8.0Donkey Kong Country Returns HD gives a high definition remaster to the Wii classic
- Pure Nintendo8.0Donkey Kong Country Returns HD will be great fun for those who've yet to experience Retro Studio's platforming adventure, and I mean great with a capital G.
Gamer reviews
The game is pretty good!
One of my favorite Wii games, this game does have a little flaw and the price should be $50, not $60. Besides that, I respect the game and reminds me of when I was playing on the Wii, but better.
