I know people don’t care about this coming back yet again but for me I’m a huge fan of DKC Returns and I’m certainly excited to revisit this game and play it on the Switch. I’m actually happy about this game returning x3 and I can’t wait to revisit my childhood. Thank you Nintendo! Also props to the narrator for scripting this video by the way.

You know you can still play the game on wii right? Clapping for (probably) full priced re-releases of a game that already has been re-released when Nintendo has franchises that have been dormant for almost 20 years is crazy

[@jacquespaught]

​@@Merkantoine Wii version doesn't have the extra levels and the 3DS version looks absolutely terrible. This is the definitive way to play DK Returns.

[@pyroflare7774]

Youre just a damn fanboi, consume product and be ready for whatever they come out with next XD

@@jacquespaught Fzero 20 years Punch out 15 years Custom robo 18 years DKC 6 years. DKC has more games ported than released. If you can't see how bad this is you're part of the problem.

Before GameXplain make a video, remember this is a HD port of the 3Ds Version. So there aren’t the same textures that the Wii Version

[@matthewvandyk7773]

I know. But most of the hate is from people comparing this to the wii version versus the 3DS version. Also DKCR is well worth full price to simply have access to real controls.

[@alexiere]

That makes it even worse of a situation. Charging 60 for it is insanity.

[@lolzwutify]

@@alexiereany DK game is worth 60USD, even DK Land

[@alexiere]

@lolzwutify you pay it. I'm not delusional to pay it.

[@matthewvandyk7773]

@@alexiere so if you want to play Donkey Kong country returns in 2025, the options are to still pay $20 to $30 for a physical copy, which may also include shipping fees. Plus, buy a Wii, and then you get an unplayable game because of the horrible trash fire motion controls. Or pay $60 ($80 in my case) and get the fane with the 3DS extras. Oh and if you wanted to play with a friend or in my case my son; I'd need to buy a 2nd 3DS copy which I found to be about $45 CAD with shipping taken into account. So yeah you can pay half the price to play DKCR but with downsides. Wii version includes just motion controls. And the 3DS isn't compatible for multiplayer unless you want to pay for full switch price for 2 copies of the game, but that assumes you have 2 3DS's. Plus you also have to take into account the prices of Wii's and 3DS you may need to find and buy. I understand this doesn't take thrift stores or online market places into account. However depending on where you life that might not even be a feasible option. Like i get this game looks to be a rip off. However i think instead of getting mad we need to take a more open minded look or view. See the entire picture.

[@christianjohnson8036]

I am actually really hyped for this. This was one of my favorite games of all times and the new DK isnt as good as this one

[@Knightfall3000]

I bought this game back in 1994 on Super Nintendo

[@gamerrrdude4405]

But the original version of Country Returns came out on the Wii…

[@Knightfall3000]

@ yeah, I have all versions. I meant the 94 original country.
