One of the most iconic characters in video game history is making a triumphant, chest-pounding return just in time for the holidays. The game Donkey Kong Country Returns is now available exclusively for the Wii system, giving new and experienced players a wild new way to get acquainted with the legendary Donkey Kong. Combining imaginative new features and dynamic motion controls with classic elements from the original Donkey Kong Country games for Super NES, this side-scrolling jungle adventure also marks the first time in the series that friends can play together in a cooperative two-player mode.

Donkey Kong Country Returns takes place on scenic Donkey Kong Island, where the mischievous Tiki Tak Tribe has plundered Donkey Kong’s banana stash. Players use either the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers or a single Wii Remote held horizontally to maneuver the famous ape as he runs, jumps and climbs on a quest to recover the stolen bananas. Players can feel the power of Donkey Kong by shaking the controllers to perform moves such as the mighty Ground Pound or forward-tumbling Barrel Roll as they advance through more than 70 beautifully rendered levels. The new simultaneous two-player mode lets a second player (with his or her own Wii Remote and Nunchuk controller or Wii Remote held horizontally) swing into action as Donkey Kong’s agile sidekick, Diddy Kong, whose special talents include riding high on Donkey Kong’s back, using his Barrel Jet to defy gravity and firing his Peanut Popgun.
