Nintendo Switch Online Subscribers Gifted New Donkey Kong Game

As a seasoned gamer with decades of gaming under my belt, it’s always a delight to revisit the classics, especially those from my childhood. The addition of Donkey Kong Land 2 to Nintendo Switch Online is like a trip down memory lane, reminding me of the countless hours I spent on my trusty Game Boy, battling Kremlings and collecting bananas.


Today, Nintendo Switch Online subscribers were pleasantly surprised with the addition of a new game linked to Donkey Kong. Last week, Nintendo put the Game Boy version of the well-known Super Nintendo platformer, “Donkey Kong Country,” called “Donkey Kong Land,” into their library of playable games on Switch Online. Originally released in 1995, “Donkey Kong Land” was a spinoff of the popular game. Now, just a few days after making “Donkey Kong Land” available on Nintendo Switch Online, they have added its sequel to the service as well.

Right now, you can jump into playing “Donkey Kong Land 2” as it’s been added to Nintendo Switch Online. Originally launched in 1996 for the classic Game Boy, “Donkey Kong Land 2” was essentially a reinterpretation of “Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest”. Due to the constraints of the Game Boy hardware, certain aspects had to be streamlined to make it playable on a handheld. Despite these adjustments, it largely mirrored the adventure that SNES users enjoyed with “Diddy’s Kong Quest”.

One great aspect of Donkey Kong Land 2 arriving on Nintendo Switch Online is that subscribers at all tiers can enjoy it directly. Unlike games from the Nintendo 64, Game Boy Advance, and Sega Genesis, which are exclusive to the “Expansion Pack” tier, Game Boy titles like Donkey Kong Land 2 can be played by any Switch Online member without additional costs or upgrades. So if you’re an active subscriber, you can start playing it right away!

To discover more details about Donkey Kong Land 2 and witness it being played on the Nintendo Switch, feel free to watch the latest trailer and read the game’s description, which are provided below for your convenience.

Here’s one way I could rephrase that in the first person as a gamer playing as Diddy Kong or Dixie Kong: “It’s me, Diddy/Dixie Kong! K. Rool has taken Donkey Kong hostage and is demanding all of the banana hoard as ransom! It’s up to us to team up and rescue our pal, Donkey Kong!

In this game, you can choose to play as either Kong (either Donkey or Dixie) and utilize their special skills. Donkey’s Cartwheel is perfect for defeating the toughest enemies, while Dixie can use her Helicopter Spin to navigate over challenging areas. Additionally, there are numerous helpful animal companions available to aid our two small Kong friends. The game features more than 40 levels, each containing traps, collectibles, cunning Kremlings, and countless barrels to destroy!
