"The Donkey Kong Country Returns HD free update is out today and adds Dixie Kong as a playable character along with her helicopter hair spin. It also adds a Turbo Attack mode which essentially turns every level into a speedrun challenge. Finally, a free Switch 2 upgrade will give the game better resolution, improved visuals, and faster load times. It'll also include support for GameShare so two players can play local coop on separate devices using only one copy of the game."
"Are these little pet projects within Nintendo spearheaded by individual developers who feel passionately about showing some extra love to certain games in the company's back catalog? Are they part of a broader strategy to pump up certain characters ahead of new movies? The latter seems like the most likely possibility for Donkey Kong, which is rumored to be getting its own big screen spin-off."
Donkey Kong Country Returns on Switch receives a free HD update that adds Dixie Kong as a playable character with her helicopter hair spin and introduces a Turbo Attack speedrun mode. The update also includes a free Switch 2 upgrade that improves resolution, visuals, and load times, plus GameShare support for two-player local coop across devices with one game copy. The update follows other recent, inconsistent Nintendo updates and prompts questions about whether these changes come from individual developer initiatives or strategic character promotion tied to rumored media projects like a Donkey Kong film.
