An updated version of Donkey Kong Country Returns hits the Nintendo Switch on January 16th.
For a game about collecting bananas and throwing barrels, Donkey Kong Country Returns is surprisingly inventive. The game, which originally launched on the Wii in 2010, takes the classic SNES side-scroller and steadily infuses it with new ideas, creating an experience that’s at times both tense and thrilling. You’ll do everything from fly a rocket through bat-filled caves to avoid the tentacles of a giant squid. It gets intense. It’s also a game that’s known for being very hard.
It also lets you bypass the level altogether, so you can skip troublesome stages and come back to them later. That’s important because, like I said, this game gets hard. There are precarious jumps to navigate, scenes where you have to fire yourself out of a barrel at just the right moment, and multistage boss battles that will test your patience. That hasn’t changed here, but the game gives you more ways to deal with the frustration.
