Nintendo has rolled out a surprise free update for Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, bringing in Dixie Kong and a new Turbo Attack mode. This update is available on both the original Switch and the newer Switch 2.
The Switch 2 version gets extra perks, like faster loading times, sharper graphics, and a cool feature called GameShare. This lets you play co-op with a friend who doesn't own the game.
Dixie Kong is now playable, and she jumps higher and farther than Diddy Kong. The new Turbo Attack mode is a challenge, where you have to finish levels super fast. It's a fun twist for both new players and those who've played the game a lot.
Nintendo has been busy updating its Switch games, adding new features and improvements. Some updates cost money, but this one is free.
Here's what's new in the update:
You can now play as Dixie Kong, who jumps differently than Diddy Kong. You can switch between them when playing solo or with a friend.
Turbo Attack mode is a new challenge where you race through levels at high speed. If you finish within the time limit, you get a turbo medal.
The game now supports Brazilian Portuguese. There are also some bug fixes and image quality improvements.
For Switch 2 players, there's GameShare, which lets you play co-op with a friend who doesn't have the game. The graphics are also optimized for the Switch 2 and high-resolution TVs, and loading times are shorter.
