Guess what? Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is getting a sweet free update on both Switch and the rumored Switch 2! This isn't just some minor tweak; we're talking about adding a whole new character to the mix: Dixie Kong!

Dixie isn't just there to look cute. She can give DK a real boost when jumping, and her ponytail acts like a propeller, letting you reach areas you couldn't before. I always love when games adds a new character, especially when they are a member of the Kong clan!

Turbo Time!

But wait, there's more! The update also throws in a Turbo Attack mode. This means you can zoom through super-speed versions of each level, racing against the clock to reach the end. From what I've seen, you're gonna need some serious reflexes to nail those jumps and make it in time. It sounds frantic, and that's exactly why I think it'll be a blast!

Now, if you're planning on playing on the Switch 2, you're in for an extra treat. Nintendo's newer console will get enhanced resolution, higher-definition graphics, and quicker loading times. So, yes, it's a Switch 2 update for a Switch 1 game, which was a port of a 3DS game, which was a port of a Wii game. Donkey Kong Country Returns just keeps coming back!

Oh, and one more thing: Nintendo's added GameShare support, so you can share the fun with your friends, even if they don't own the game themselves. Pretty cool, right?

If you haven't played Donkey Kong Country Returns HD yet, it might be worth checking out. Sure, it might not be the flashiest remaster ever, but it's still a challenging and satisfying platformer. And with these new additions, there's never been a better time to jump in!
