Donkey Kong Nation Returns, initially launched for the Wii in 2010, is coming to the Swap

It has been a few decade since Nintendo launched a brand new recreation within the Donkey Kong Nation sequence — and whereas there is not a brand new one coming any time quickly, there is a port of 1 you might have missed on its means. Donkey Kong Nation Returns, initially launched for the Wii in 2010, is hitting the Swap on January 15, 2025. It was a fantastic recreation for its time, and I am hopeful it will maintain up properly some 15 years later. On the very least, the controls must be less complicated, as Nintendo will not be forcing movement controls into the combo with this remaster as they did with the Wii unique.

This recreation joins Donkey Kong Nation: Tropical Freeze as the opposite modern-ish interpretation of the franchise. Tropical Freeze was first launched for the Wii U in 2014 — however since nobody owned that poor console, its arrival on the Swap in 2018 meant {that a} a lot bigger viewers acquired to provide the sport a shot. That is not precisely the case with Donkey Kong Nation Returns, which offered properly for the unique Wii. Nonetheless, Donkey Kong Nation followers are starved for a brand new recreation, so this should do for now. I am positive it has been years since many individuals have checked it out, so hopefully it will really feel considerably recent.
