On January 16, the much-anticipated Donkey Kong Country Returns HD will be released for the Nintendo Switch, bringing back the beloved tropical island adventure. Originally launched on the Wii and 3DS, this updated version promises to rekindle the excitement for both new and returning players.

Surprisingly, even before the official release, some gamers have already accessed the game. This was first reported by Nintendeal on their social media account X, where it was also noted that pre-orders for the game have sold out in several U.S. stores. Nintendeal shared images showcasing both the front and back of the physical edition box.
