The dependable launch takes center stage next week
Prior to the debut of Donkey Kong Country Returns HD for Switch next week, some enthusiastic players have reportedly already “secured their copies” of the game.
This was pointed out by ‘Nintendeal’ on social media, which also mentions that pre-orders for the game have now sold out at select locations across the US. In the images below, you can see both the front and back of the game packaging:
Fortunately, if this results in a “leak,” there are no significant spoilers or unexpected elements in this scenario as this title is evidently aligned with the Wii (2010) and 3DS (2013) versions.
Nintendo’s titles releasing ahead of the official launch date has occurred multiple times during the Switch era, with other franchises such as Paper Mario and Zelda also facing similar situations.
