Let’s dive into the freshest offerings from Nintendo. Even with the recent surprise announcement about the Switch 2, we’re still a couple of months away from its full reveal. That means the current Switch remains very much alive and kicking. And what better way to celebrate than by jumping back into Donkey Kong Country?
Yes, you heard it right—Donkey Kong is making a comeback! This week, Donkey Kong and his trusty sidekick, Diddy Kong, swing onto the Switch in the HD remaster of Donkey Kong Country Returns. This vibrant platformer is packed with challenges and collectibles as they embark on their quest to retrieve their stolen banana hoard from the menacing Tiki Tak Tribe.
To mark the special occasion of Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, My Nintendo is offering a delightful reward. Snag a colorful sticky note cube featuring Donkey Kong via the My Nintendo website. It’s cleverly designed to look like it’s sitting on a crate and costs 600 points, so claim yours online before they run out!
Switching gears, Nintendo is also releasing a remastered version of Tales of Graces f this week, a beloved RPG from the Wii era. Experience this classic on the Switch for the first time with revamped graphics and a handy new auto-save feature for your inter-dimensional journey.
Also, this week saw a nice addition to Nintendo Music, with The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker soundtrack joining the collection. This soundtrack brings over three hours and 40 minutes of delightful tunes across 133 tracks for you to enjoy!
