Dixie Kong Makes a Surprising Splash in Free Donkey Kong Update on Switch
Kotaku reports that Nintendo released a free Switch update for Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, adding Dixie Kong as a playable character with a helicopter hair spin and a Turbo Attack mode that turns levels into speedruns; a Switch 2 upgrade promises better resolution, visuals, faster load times, and GameShare for two-player local co-op on separate devices. The piece also frames the update as part of Nintendo’s scattered content strategy amid other recent moves across the company.
