An HD remaster of Donkey Kong Country Returns is coming, combining the original Wii and 3DS levels into one package.
During the June 2024 Nintendo Direct, Nintendo announced that an HD remaster for Donkey Kong Country Returns will release on January 16, 2025 for the Nintendo Switch.
This remaster is being handled by the developer who made the original Wii version, Retro Studios. It was the first game in the Donkey Kong series that did not involve original developer Rare, which Microsoft acquired in 2002.
The game’s trailer shows off a few of the levels with their upgraded visuals.
