My Nintendo Store Reveals Donkey Kong Country Returns HD Pre-Order Bonuses & Bundle (UK)

OOh I like that bag and pen pot! Thanks for the tip

I wish Nintendo priced more of their lower budget games at €50. Don't get me wrong I love Returns, I actually prefer it over Tropical Freeze, but from the looks of it this is just a bare minumum HD upscale that adds the 3DS content. It shouldn't cost the same as Mario Odyssey. Especially when Prime Remaster is randomly €40 when it actually deserved to cost more.

I would love to get this game but I can't really justify it at €60 when I already have the Wii version.

Watch the US get some crappy keychain or a poster

Sure, get this one out of your system, Nintendo, and focus on the remasters/rereleases that matter. Such as Wind Waker and Twilight Princess for example.

Anyone having issues with checkout? My purchase is failing EVERY time! Nintendo's site is crap!

There's only one way I will purchase this game and that's if they confirm they have a new DK game coming out in 2025.

Otherwise, I literally just boot it up on my 3DS...

In my day they were called bum bags.

If I were a DK fan I would've been all over those pins, those are genuinely pretty awesome.

@SwagaliciousJohnson you might want to check out those rumors, then. . .

I want those KONG letters

Still have my banana wiimote pouch from the original's preorder. Which was kind of cool. The barrel would actually be usable though. Though I'll say what I said back then, all bonuses should have been a new DK Jamz release. Give it to us on a banana-shaped USB.

@SwitchplayerJohn

I will be doing the same at the Japan one when I go in May... that's the plan!

@FlyingDunsparce The games you're referring to, they do cost 45 EUR on release day. At least in FR, you can find these prices sold by shops that generally offer no preorder bonus. Other sites, or shops, like Micromania, Nintendo or fnac, price is 59 sold with "free" preorder bonuses. and "free" shipping I don't know where you live, but in FR you have these options. I used to live in DE, and 3 days after launch date, for some 1st party games, price dropped already from 59 to 49 or 44.

I’ll just settle for the game only.

@Duncanballs I do like that name but I'm guessing those are the same days they were called "fanny packs" in the US?

60€! Are they mad?

@KingMike yep. In the UK, it was often a combo of a bum bag and neon shell suit. Both IMO should have stayed in the 90s 😄

@Pipulitoch yeah over here games sell for around 55 Euros on release day depending on what retailer you buy from. Then the price usually goes down further as time goes on. But the official price that's on the eShop stays 60 which is ultimately what retailers base it on. So if it was 50 Euros to start with it would then be closer to 40 at retailers making it much more affordable.

Watch the US preorder just be a shabby sticker sheet with 2000’s renders of dk and diddy on them and a notebook with only 15 pages😂

I'm tempted to double dip as I have the Wii version but not sure I want to pay full price again. I already did that with Tropical Freeze.

Will only pick this up if/when it hits the £30 or less bracket.

I must have that fanny pack!

@Duncanballs : It still is my day and I will forever call them bumbags.

The extras look great but I just dont want the game, also its My Nintendo Store, they can never remember to put a customs sticker on their orders (being in guernsey you need one) so it always just get sent back to the warehouse. I have had the worst customer service from them. Tried to order the Zelda keyring, even that got sent back. Useless

Sigh... opens wallet

Eurojank at its best.

@FlyingDunsparce Nintendo fans will tell you to buy these games at their price so Nintendo can take the easy pay day to fund their big projects like breath of the wild. Seems like you have to buy a lot of over priced items to get one breath of the wild like game but what do I know. Oh I know not to spend my money on this.
