Donkey Kong Country Returns HD (Donkey Kong) - Part 5 | Livestream
3Donkey Kong Country Returns is a side-scrolling 2.5D platform game developed by Retro Studios and released for the Wii in 2010. It is the fourth game in the Donkey Kong Country series and a reboot. The game stars Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, who must recover the banana hoard from a new group of villains, the Tiki Tak Tribe. A direct sequel, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze was released in 2014 for the Wii U.
In 2013, the game was ported to the Nintendo 3DS, titled Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D. The original Wii game was later released for digital download on the Nintendo eShop for the Wii U on January 21, 2015 in Japan and on January 22, 2015 in Europe. On March 31, 2016, the digital re-release was made available in North America exclusively for My Nintendo users. The game was later made publicly available on the North American Wii U eShop on September 22, 2016. The digital re-release was eventually removed from the Wii U eShop worldwide after its discontinuation on March 27, 2023, making it no longer possible for players to purchase the game. However, players who purchased the title before this date can still play it as long as it is on their Wii U device.
On July 4, 2019 at approximately 9 pm UTC+8, the game was silently released on the Chinese Nvidia Shield TV store without any prior notice from Nvidia's Chinese website or its social media accounts. Unlike the other Wii/ GameCube ports, this game was never advertised by Nvidia and was only known to exist by approval iinformation from government websites. Nvidia eventually posted about the game on July 12 at 3:13 pm UTC+8.
A remaster, Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, released for Nintendo Switch on January 16, 2025.
