Nintendo’s latest release, Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, has made its debut at number one in the UK following its launch on 16th January 2025.
It’s a decent start for the remaster, which has notably received quite a bit of backlash online over its price in the months leading up to its release. That said, despite our own senitment that the game isn’t quite the definitive version of Retro Studio’s original Wii classic, it’s still probably worth checking out if you’ve never experienced it before.
Elsewhere, Tales of Graces f Remastered enters the charts at number twelve, with the Switch version accounting for 35% of the platform split. Dynasty Warriors Origins also made its debut, poking its head into the top ten to join the likes of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Mario Party Jamboree, and Nintendo Switch Sports.
Here’s a look at this week’s full top 40, with platform breakdowns for all of the titles available on other consoles as well as the Switch:
