On January 16, Donkey Kong Country Returns HD will be available for the Nintendo Switch. A return to the well-known world of tropical island adventure is promised by the updated version of the game, which was first released on the Wii and 3DS.

But even before the official release, it became known that some gamers have already gotten access to the game. This information appeared on Nintendeal's account in social network X, where it is also reported that pre-orders for the game are sold out in several stores in the United States. In the post Nintendeal published images of the front and back sides of the physical edition box.

Although Donkey Kong Country Returns is a remaster of an older game, spoilers may spoil the fun of the walkthrough. Those planning to dive into the adventure at launch should be more careful online to avoid unwanted content leaks.

This isn't the first time Nintendo has had to deal with games getting to players ahead of schedule. Despite this, Nintendo's releases remain extremely popular and the hype around their games is only growing.

There has been a protracted wait for the Nintendo Switch 2. However, it appears that the Japanese company has most, if not all, of the preparations ready for the announcement based on the volume of different leaks. Insiders are now taking over for Nintendo, which has maintained that we will find out about the new system by the end of March. 

According to well-known blogger NateTheHate, Nintendo will finally reveal the news this Thursday, January 16! He does, however, point out some oddities, such as the blogger's low expectations for software and game information. According to him, the main emphasis will probably be on technical specifications—as if that weren't thrilling enough.
