0View dealsDonkey Kong Country Returns HD delivers 80+ levels across nine vibrant worlds, incorporating features from the 3DS version plus a new Modern Mode with extra hearts. While some stages test your skills, the precise controls and excellent level design create rewarding gameplay for solo or cooperative play.
The Wii original from 2010 remains exceptional after 15 years. Our 8/10 review noted: "This remaster preserves one of Nintendo's finest 2D platformers, though more graphical upgrades would have been welcome."
Equally impressive is Tropical Freeze, our 9/10-rated Wii U masterpiece: "A brilliantly challenging platformer that rewards persistence with unforgettable moments."
With Donkey Kong Bananza launching soon (featuring callbacks to classic entries), now's ideal to experience these adventures. Prepare for DK's Switch 2 debut by reading our perfect-score review.
