Donkey Kong Country Returns HD priced at $60

When Metroid Prime Remastered launched, Nintendo set the priced at $40. Nintendo fans were hoping that would be the price going forward with various remasters and HD re-releases, but Nintendo has had a different idea.

Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD is launching in a matter of hours, and Nintendo revealed awhile ago that that title would be priced at $60. Those who were hoping the situation would be different with Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, get ready to be disappointed, as Nintendo has just revealed a $60 price tag for that as well.

What does Donkey Kong Country Returns HD offer over the original Wii release? You can play the game as it was first designed for the Wii, or reduce the difficulty for extra hearts and other goodies to make your journey a little easier. The game has also been visually enhanced in HD and includes the extra levels from the 3DS version. Whether that content warrants the $60 price is completely up to you.
