Thankfully, fans of the Donkey Kong Country series have been treated rather well over the past few years, with Donkey Kong Country Returns and its sequel Tropical Freeze launching across all of Nintendo's latest systems. We can't sing the praises of Tropical Freeze enough - seriously, if you haven't played it, go and do so immediately - but we'll always have a soft spot for the original trilogy on SNES, too.

And that's where this video comes in (above), courtesy of YouTube user BlobVanDam. The video shows how Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest might look if Nintendo decided to rerelease it today, with its Parrot Chute Panic level being completely remade in lovely, shiny HD.

It all looks pretty spectacular to us, and we can already hear the cries for a Donkey Kong Country Trilogy Switch release just waiting to be blasted into our comment section. Here's how the level originally looked:

If you're wanting to play the original for yourself, you can actually download the game from the Wii U and 3DS eShops. The original Donkey Kong Country can also be found on the SNES Classic Edition console if you're lucky enough to have one.

Would you play an HD rerelease of these SNES classics? Tell us below.
