VGChartz’s Evan Norris: “While we await a brand new Donkey Kong 2D platformer, we can at least enjoy one of the better entries in the series — Donkey Kong Country Returns — via this new Switch version. Although it’s not the celebration DK deserves, it represents the finest version of the game, thanks to HD assets; 60 fps; the inclusion of all the extra material from the 3DS port; and everything that made the original so special, including spectacular level designs, high replay value, and weighty controls. Fans who own the previous versions don’t need to rush out to buy it, especially at $60, but those who never played the game on Wii or 3DS should take notice.”
