First revealed in the June 18 Nintendo Direct, Donkey Kong Country Returns HD will be Nintendo’s first game release of 2025, as fans anticipate the reveal of the Nintendo Switch’s successor.

Players may enjoy Donkey Kong Country Returns HD from start to finish by themselves or with a friend in co-op, playing as Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. The remaster also supports single Joy-Con play in co-op, allowing players to enjoy levels together on the go. Like many of Nintendo’s first-party titles, Donkey Kong Country Returns HD will be sold physically and digitally, and Nintendo fans may pre-order a copy right now both at retail and on the Nintendo eShop.

Nintendo of America and Nintendo UK revealed the pre-order bonus for physical copies of Donkey Kong Country Returns HD at GameStop and My Nintendo Store UK. Firstly, GameStop will offer a DK Barrel Pen Holder as a gift with pre-orders of Donkey Kong Country Returns HD at participating locations. The pen holder takes inspiration from the barrels that players have often come across while playing levels in the Donkey Kong Country series. The pre-order bonus will be given to fans immediately after receiving their receipt at checkout, and it’s worth noting that only one pen holder will be given per person. Moreover, it will be available while supplies last at GameStop locations, so it could go out of stock at some locations on launch day.

  • My Nintendo Store in the UK and Ireland offers a bonus pin set and a microfiber cloth.
  • My Nintendo Store also offers an Adventure Bundle pre-order upgrade for £6/€7, featuring a bonus waist bag and pen holder.

My Nintendo Store will offer a bonus pin set and a microfiber cloth with pre-orders of Donkey Kong Country Returns HD in the UK and Ireland. The pin set includes four pins reading “KONG,” while the microfiber cloth depicts the game’s key art, featuring Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. For £6/€7, fans may upgrade their pre-order to receive a My Nintendo Store-exclusive “Adventure Bundle,” which includes a waist bag and the aforementioned pen holder.

This will be Nintendo’s second game release in 2025, but the list of titles will surely grow when Nintendo is ready to share more information on the slate of Switch games releasing next year.
