Nintendo has recently announced the pricing for the upcoming Switch release of Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, setting it at $60 USD. This has sparked discussions among fans, especially after last year’s Metroid Prime Remastered was priced at $40. Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD also comes in at $60, leading to questions about Nintendo’s pricing strategy.
To entice fans, Nintendo has revealed that the Switch version of Donkey Kong Country Returns HD will include levels from both the Wii and 3DS versions, along with some graphical updates. The game, originally released on the Wii in 2010, received praise for its gameplay and was followed by a successful 3DS version and a sequel on the Wii U.
The pricing decision has divided opinions, with a poll showing that 85% of respondents believe the game should be priced lower. Despite this, some fans feel the $60 price tag is fair. The debate continues as players look forward to revisiting Donkey Kong’s adventures in high definition on the Switch.
