The new Donkey Kong hits players just days before release

Author : Zoey Mar 04,2025

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is swinging onto the Nintendo Switch on January 16th! This updated version of the classic Wii and 3DS title promises a return to the vibrant world of tropical island adventure.

However, the game's release has been slightly overshadowed by early access leaks. Nintendeal's X (formerly Twitter) account revealed that some gamers already possess the game, and pre-orders are reportedly sold out in several US retailers. They even shared images of the game's physical packaging.

While Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is a remaster, potential spoilers are circulating online. Players anticipating the official launch should exercise caution to avoid ruining the experience.

This isn't the first time Nintendo has faced premature game releases. Despite such incidents, Nintendo games consistently maintain immense popularity and anticipation.

Meanwhile, the long-awaited Nintendo Switch 2 is generating significant buzz. Numerous leaks suggest the company is nearing a formal announcement, potentially leaving insiders to spill the beans before Nintendo itself. Nintendo has maintained a March deadline for the reveal.

Prominent blogger NateTheHate claims the unveiling is set for this Thursday, January 16th! However, he tempers expectations, suggesting a focus on technical specifications rather than a wealth of software or game announcements.
