Donkey Kong Country Returns HD will be released for the Nintendo Switch on January 16, 2025. This version replaces the Wii remote in the background statue with a Switch Joy-Con, a change not seen in previous releases. The Switch edition includes all features from the 3DS port, such as eight new levels and an easier difficulty option. It offers high-definition graphics while maintaining similar gameplay to earlier versions. Fans have expressed concerns about the game's price, calling it excessive. Despite this, the Switch version aims to provide a more traditional control experience compared to the original Wii release.
