Aussie Bargain Roundup: Donkey Kong Country Returns HD

Donkey Kong fans are enjoying a feast right now—well, maybe it’s more like reheated leftovers and retro classics—but 2024 saw more games featuring Donkey Kong than any year before.

So we have Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, marking the third time this game is being made available to players. If you missed it on the Wii and then again on the Nintendo 3DS, now’s your chance to experience it—this time in HD. (Unless, of course, you count the Nvidia Shield version, which was released exclusively in China.) This new release includes the “New Mode” introduced in the 3DS version, designed to make the game easier for newcomers. It also features an extra world with eight additional levels.

There may not be many other changes, though. As a late-life port for the current system—potentially just ahead of a new console announcement—it’s unlikely to see any significant overhauls.

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD will be available on January 16, 2025.
