McScratchey's Thoughts

Donkey Kong Swings Back Onto the Switch!

Hey everyone, get ready to go bananas because Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is making a grand leap onto the Nintendo Switch! I caught the scoop during today’s Nintendo Direct broadcast, and let me tell you, it's stirring up some serious nostalgia and excitement. Here’s why:


What's Old is New Again

For starters, this isn't just any remaster. We're talking about a beloved Wii classic, revamped with 80 mesmerizing levels including those extra ones from its 3DS version that many of us missed. The lush, vibrant jungle aesthetics in HD will bring our favorite gorilla’s world to life with such clarity it’ll feel like you’re actually dodging those pesky Kremlings yourself!


Grab a Buddy for Banana Wars

One of the features I’m thrilled about is the two-player local co-op mode. Nothing like sharing the joy and frustrations with a buddy right by your side — or in my case, bracing for some heated "cooperative" sessions with my kids! ("No, you get the bananas on the left, I'll jump here!") Can't wait for those laugh-out-loud (and possible scream-at-your-partner) moments!


Mark your calendars folks, Donkey Kong Country Returns HD plans to smash onto your Switch screens on January 16th next year. That's right around the corner in gaming time! And for those itching to get a glimpse of the action, be sure to check out the announcement trailer (right here ). Let’s just say, it’s the perfect tease that will get you counting the days.


All in all, if you fondly remember spending hours trying to perfect each jump and dodge, or if this is your first rodeo with DK, this HD revival is shaping up to be a must-have. Get ready to throw some barrels and reclaim that stolen banana hoard with some serious style!


As the saying goes, "it's on like Donkey Kong." Get ready, gamers, this is one jungle adventure you wouldn’t want to miss!
