Surprisingly, even before its official release, some gamers have already gained access to the game. This news was shared by Nintendeal on social network X, along with the revelation that pre-orders for the game have sold out in several U.S. stores.

As Donkey Kong Country Returns is a remaster of an older game, there's a risk that spoilers could diminish the enjoyment of the journey. Those eager to experience the adventure at launch should be cautious online to avoid any unwanted content leaks.

This isn't the first instance where Nintendo has faced early game releases. Despite these incidents, Nintendo's titles continue to be highly popular, and the excitement around their games only seems to grow.

There has been a long wait for the Nintendo Switch 2. Recent leaks suggest that Nintendo might be gearing up for an announcement, with many preparations already in place. Insiders hint that we might hear about the new system by the end of March.

According to renowned blogger NateTheHate, Nintendo is set to unveil the news this Thursday, January 16. However, he notes a peculiar detail: there might be a lack of information about software and games. Instead, the focus is expected to be on the technical specifications of the new console, which could still be quite exciting for tech enthusiasts.
