Nintendo Direct was full of massive new announcements from Nintendo. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond ended the show with a flourish, but the console-maker also revealed a new Mario and Luigi RPG, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, and a new Super Mario Party. One announcement that might've gone under the radar for some considering the magnitude of the big reveals is that the Switch is adding Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, an updated version of the Wii classic. The 2010 platformer was also ported to the 3DS and Wii U, making this Donkey Kong Country Returns HD's fourth system when it launches next year.
Donkey Kong Country Returns HD importantly includes all the new content the 3DS version received. That means even if you did play the Wii original, there's still a reason to jump in and play through the new levels on a big screen. Of course, the game also looks better than it did a decade ago. Remember, this is the first game in the Donkey Kong Country franchise that didn't involve developer Rare. Instead, DKC Returns was developed by Retro Studios, the team behind the Metro Prime franchise.
