Donkey Kong Country Returns

One of the few, awesome surprises at this year’s E3 Nintendo Showcase. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the trailer for ‘Donkey Kong Country Returns’.

President of Nintendo America, Reggie Fils-Aime told us about Nintendo telling Retro Studios in Texas, who is responsible for the amazing Metroid Prime Trilogy, to take one of the most beloved Nintendo characters and bring back a franchise that we all loved and played back in the day. When the white screen debuted on the big screen, we hear the sound of jungle themed music with bongos and animals chirping in the background. Nostalgia hit us all, we were introduced to Donkey Kong flying from vine to vine collecting bananas that already indicated the Donkey Kong Country is back. By looking at the trailer, we can say that this is no remake but an enhancement to the original franchise. Also introduced is co-op play similar to New Super Smash Bros Wii where one can control Donkey Kong and the other can control Diddy Kong. Only abilities shown in trailer is Donkey Kong can blow gusts of air and Diddy Kong is back with his jetpack flying with ease.

Thank you Nintendo and most importantly Retro Studios for giving this a shot. Donkey Kong Country Returns this holiday season 2010.
