Donkey Kong Country Returns dated

As well as dating the 3DS and confirming a Game Boy download service for the handheld, Nintendo has also dated one of its key Wii titles for this Q4.

Donkey Kong Country Returns will be released in the UK on December 3rd, giving it a couple of weeks on the market during the key pre-Christmas period.

The game is developed by Retro Studios, the team behind the highly acclaimed Metroid Prime series on GameCube and Wii. It’s a sequel to the mid-‘90s Rare-developed SNES hit that at the time was notable for its sophisticated graphics.
