Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is swinging onto the Nintendo Switch on January 16th! This updated version of the beloved Wii and 3DS title promises a return to the vibrant world of tropical island adventure.
However, the game's release has been slightly preceded by early access for some players, as revealed on Nintendeal's X account. The post also notes that pre-orders are sold out in various US retailers, including images of the game's physical packaging.
While a remaster, potential spoilers are circulating online. Players anticipating the launch should exercise caution to avoid ruining the experience.
This isn't the first time Nintendo has faced early game releases. Despite such occurrences, Nintendo titles continue to enjoy immense popularity and growing anticipation.
Meanwhile, the much-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 remains shrouded in mystery, although numerous leaks suggest a near-complete preparation for its announcement. Insiders are now leading the charge, exceeding Nintendo's own communication, which has promised a reveal by the end of March.
Prominent blogger NateTheHate predicts this reveal will happen this Thursday, January 16th! He tempers expectations, however, suggesting a focus on technical specifications rather than extensive software or game announcements.
