Donkey Kong Country Returns (Wii, 2010)
Rumors have been circling about a new Donkey Kong Country game over the last year, spurred on by the titular ape’s screen time in the recent Mario movie. Donkey Kong Country Returns can’t hold a candle to its sequel, Tropical Freeze, but it brought the platformer into the modern era and was especially good on Wii U and 3Ds. A re-release with new art, music, and improved controls would be the perfect foundation to rebuild Donkey Kong’s often overshadowed legacy heading into the Switch 2.
