About this product
This barrel-blasting platformer brings Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong back to Donkey Kong Island for 80 levels of jumping, rolling and stomping across nine vibrant worlds. Donkey Kong Country Returns HD reimagines the classic Wii adventure with enhanced visuals for Nintendo Switch, plus all bonus levels from the 3DS version. Ride mine carts, blast barrels, and team up with Rambi the rhino to take on the Tiki Tak Tribe and reclaim your stolen banana hoard. Choose original difficulty or an easier mode with extra hearts, making it accessible for veterans and younger players alike.
The local co-op mode lets you pass a Joy-Con to a friend and tackle the entire adventure together as DK and Diddy Kong. Work as a team using Diddy's Peanut Popgun and Barrel Jet for ranged attacks and hovering, whilst DK brings the heavy hits with his Ground Pound and Barrel Roll. It's perfect for family gaming sessions and works across Nintendo Switch, Switch OLED, and Switch Lite. Rated PEGI 3, so it's suitable for all ages.

Love it
Great game, we bought it to replace Roblox and worked so well. It was for 7years old.It is great game for single or multiplayer. I find it quite pricey but it is worth it.

It is a remake of a classic game so feels old in its execution. Not bad not amazing

Fantastic game. One of the best switch games
Really difficult game but so much fun to play. Good update in graphics and the mechanics of the game are very good. Haven't tried multi player but excited to try.

It's an average game, they have copied sonic a lot. Nothing exceedingly brilliant so 3 stars.

This is a physical game card. It does normally state on the image as well as the description if it's a DLC (Download Code) or Code in box.

This listing is incorrect. This game comes on a game card, NOT a game disc. The Nintendo switch does not support game discs.
For comparison the previous Nintendo Wii used discs.
