Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is a fantastic reminder that the franchise that began on the Super Nintendo in 1994 is a real competitor for Nintendo’s best 2D platforming series, an extremely competitive landscape.

Retro recaptures most of Donkey Kong's venerated platforming roots in this fine Wii sequel.
