We are barrelling towards the release date of Donkey Kong Country Returns HD on 16th January 2025. With a little over a month to go, Nintendo has revealed the game’s opening cutscene in all of its remastered glory.
Titled ‘The Heist’, the video depicts the Tiki Tak Tribe taking over Donkey Kong island, hypnotising its inhabitants and making off with DK’s prized bananas. Fortunately,the tie-wearing primate isn’t so easily swayed and sets out to take back what’s his in a punchy manner.
In addition to the HD facelift, Returns HD includes all of the levels from both the Wii and 3DS versions, totaling a whopping 80 stages. It’s perfect for some couch co-op gaming to kick off the new year!
