Donkey Kong Country Returns HD Is Discounted On Launch Day
Nintendo Switch owners can save $10 on Donkey Kong Country Returns HD on launch day at Woot. The Amazon-owned outlet store that has had a bevy of Nintendo game deals in recent months, including dozens of active promotions. DKC Returns HD is a wonderful side-scrolling platformer with 80 levels spread across nine worlds. It originally released in 2010 for Nintendo Wii and was ported to 3DS in 2013. If you want to revisit the challenging adventure starring DK and Diddy in high definition, you may want to grab this deal soon. Woot's launch discounts on new Nintendo games tend to sell out.
As with all of Woot's Switch games, the listing notes that DKC Returns HD is region-free and will work on all Switch consoles. Woot sometimes sells imported games from a different region. These always support English and are functionally the same. The only difference you'll notice out of the gate is the ESRB emblem will be replaced by another territory's ratings board. Additionally, if you want DLC, you'll need to purchase it from region's eShop that matches your copy of the game. Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is self-contained, with no DLC expected, so this potential snag won't impact you here.
Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is also available for the full $60 price at Walmart, Best Buy, Target, and GameStop.
