Wide range of mechanics and exquisite level design.
The HD makeover suits you perfectly.
A multitude of collectibles, all the additional content from Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D (3DS), and local co-op...
Tropical Freeze goes one step further and you can buy it for less money.
Some small scratches and longer loading times than in the original version.


Phases with diversified mechanics
The modern mode makes the game more accessible to casual players.
Absence of localization for PT-BR
No "Pros & Cons" find for this reviewer.

Difficulty options mean more accessibility
Lovely looking
Bit pricey


unique style. Incredible challenge for anyone looking for it.
ages worse than Tropical Freeze. No surround sound and long loading times. Some questionable tweaks. Long walks in devilish levels.


Strong level design and platforming.
More approachable difficulty option.
Barely anything is new.


Nostalgie quand tu nous tiens !
Une ambiance fun et survoltée
Des environnements variés, avec un bestiaire associé qui se renouvelle, des surprises, des bonus...
Une musique incroyable, qui rappelle bien des souvenirs !
Deux modes de jeu disponible : traditionnel ou moderne
Un cafouillage dans les touches est vite arrivé... surtout pour les plus jeunes !
Un tarif onéreux pour un jeu initialement sorti sur Wii en 2010


Features the added approachability and content of the 3DS version
Looks fantastic in both TV and handheld modes
No option to change difficulty modes in a save file
No "Pros & Cons" find for this reviewer.


Brilliant level design
Varied and dynamic action
Deep and engaging
Strictly modernized aspect
Difficult at the limits of frustration
Unsuitable for inexperienced and non-competitive players.
Additional levels of little significance


Optimized commands with minimal motion control.
Classic and timeless gameplay
Little difference compared to the 3DS version
Unbalanced cooperative mode
The price is really excessive.


Demanding and addictive gameplay at the same time.
All additional content and changes from the Nintendo 3DS version.
Additional modes after the end of each level for players looking for something more.
Intense nostalgia...
The lack of new content that could reignite the interest of 3DS players.
Adding movement commands that work in the same way, regardless of the situation.
The need for a brand new title in the Donkey Kong series is becoming more urgent than ever.

No "Pros & Cons" find for this reviewer.


Combines the original game and the additional 3DS levels
A good challenge with a nice new option for reduced challenge
There's nothing that truly expands the experience, however good as it is
No "Pros & Cons" find for this reviewer.


Iconic levels in the 2nd half
Good variety of stages overall
Easy 1st half, especially in modern mode
There's little new to offer Wii veterans


"Modern" gameplay mode and super guide saves you from frustration
Visual style hasn't aged a day and looks great in HD
Co-op using Joy-Cons is a stuggle
No "Pros & Cons" find for this reviewer.


Challenging and satisfying platforming
Steps out of the original trilogy?s shadow as the adventure goes on
Probably the weakest of the five DKC games
Visually not on par with Tropical Freeze?s Switch port


Beautifully picturesque stages
Co-op feels distinct from single-player in a good way
Fabulous soundtrack reminiscent of the SNES original
Rocket Barrel controls are as janky as ever
Some inconsistent hitboxes


'New' accessibility options curb difficulty spikes
Looks surprisingly good considering how little has changed
Strange, minor oversights prevent it from being definitive
Original developers go rudely uncredited


Razor sharp image quality, 60fps, and no forced waggle controls
The Cloud World levels from the 3DS port included
Cartoony weightiness and frantic momentum during platforming and diverse stage gimmicks
Challenging and tense levels, bosses, and spectacle that still hold up since 2010
Only Rambi the rhino, no Funky mode, and no swiming levels
Very safe gameplay for a fourth Donkey Kong Country game and can come off a bit bland
Stopping to blow some flowers for collectibles sucks and brings the pace to a halt
No substantial additions in this full-priced port
No "Pros & Cons" find for this reviewer.


the ?definitive? release of the game so far (on sheer technicality if nothing else)
the QoL, however lacking, does help sand off some of the rougher edges.
the game is overpriced considering both the content and the quality of this package.

The coop is friendly
A soundtrack that delights
The difficulty is sometimes frustrating.
Its price
