Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is swinging onto the Nintendo Switch on January 16th! This updated version of the classic Wii and 3DS title promises a return to the vibrant world of tropical island adventure.
However, the game's release has been somewhat overshadowed by early access leaks. Nintendeal's X account revealed that some gamers already possess the game, with pre-orders reportedly sold out in multiple US stores. Images of the physical game case were also shared.
While a remaster, players anticipating a launch-day experience should exercise caution online to avoid spoilers that could detract from the gameplay.
This isn't the first time Nintendo has faced premature game releases, yet their titles consistently maintain immense popularity and growing anticipation.
Meanwhile, speculation surrounding the Nintendo Switch 2 continues. Numerous leaks suggest Nintendo is nearing a formal announcement, with insiders now seemingly leading the information charge. Nintendo maintains a March deadline for the reveal.
Prominent blogger NateTheHate predicts the announcement will finally happen this Thursday, January 16th! However, he tempers expectations, suggesting a focus on technical specifications rather than extensive software or game details.
