It has been a couple of 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 could have missed on its manner. Donkey Kong Nation Returns, initially launched for the Wii in 2010, is hitting the Change on January 15, 2025. It was a advantageous recreation for its time, and I am hopeful it will maintain up properly some 15 years later. On the very least, the controls ought to be less complicated, as Nintendo will not be forcing movement controls into the combo with this remaster as they did with the Wii authentic.
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 Change in 2018 meant {that a} a lot bigger viewers obtained to provide the sport a shot. That is not precisely the case with Donkey Kong Nation Returns, which bought properly for the unique Wii. Nonetheless, Donkey Kong Nation followers are starved for a brand new recreation, so this must 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.
