The standard edition is the only one available, but it includes the full game, which is all you need. If you're holding out for an Amazon listing, you might be in for a wait. Recent Switch games haven't been available for preorder on Amazon; they tend to appear at launch instead.
Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is a refreshed take on a game that has seen multiple releases. Originally launched on the Wii in 2010, it was later re-released on the 3DS in 2013 with eight exclusive levels. This HD version includes all the original levels plus those additional 3DS levels, ensuring a comprehensive experience.
This game doesn't shy away from difficulty, offering a challenging experience that can be toggled to an easier mode from the 3DS version, complete with extra hearts and other aids. Whether you choose the original tough-as-nails setting or the more forgiving option, you'll be navigating through pits, swinging on vines, blasting out of barrels, and collecting bananas. Plus, you can enjoy two-player couch co-op once you find Diddy Kong.
Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is a stellar game that breathes new life into the franchise on the Switch. For a detailed look at what's new and how it holds up, check out our 8/10 review of Donkey Kong Country Returns HD.
