The new Donkey Kong hits players just days before release

Author : Lucy Update:Mar 06,2025

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is swinging onto the Nintendo Switch on January 16th! This updated version of the classic Wii and 3DS title promises a return to the vibrant, tropical island adventure we all know and love.

However, the game's release has been slightly preempted. Nintendeal's X account revealed that some gamers have already gotten their hands on the game, and pre-orders are reportedly sold out at various US retailers. They even shared images of the physical game case.

While Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is a remaster, be wary of spoilers! If you plan on experiencing the adventure fresh on launch day, exercise caution online to avoid encountering leaked content.

Early game releases aren't new for Nintendo, yet their games consistently remain highly anticipated. The buzz surrounding their titles only intensifies.

Meanwhile, the long-awaited Nintendo Switch 2 is on the horizon. Numerous leaks suggest Nintendo is nearing a formal announcement, with insiders now seemingly taking the lead in revealing information. Nintendo has previously stated a March deadline for the reveal.

Renowned blogger NateTheHate claims the announcement is happening this Thursday, January 16th! However, he tempers expectations, suggesting the focus will likely be on technical specifications rather than a deep dive into software and game details.
