That’s no real hardship though because it is included inNintendo SwitchOnline’s fantastic retro line-up.

That means it’s easily accessible, and this is a great chance to revisit a classic.

If you’ve never playedDonkey Country Countrybefore then you have the excuse to right your wrong. Trust me, this is an all-time great.

So which characters are available, I hear you ask?

Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Cranky Kong, Funky Kong, King K Rool, Rambi the Rhino, and Winky the Frog are all included.

These icons can be claimed until 2 September, so I’d recommend acting sooner rather than later if you want to get involved with this little giveaway.

Donkey Kong will soon return inDonkey Kong Country Returns HD, announced at the latestNintendoDirect.

In fact, just a few months ago, we saw a new iteration ofMario Vs Donkey Kong.

Inour review, we said, “What you see is very much what you get, and there are very few surprises throughout the game’s short campaign. It’s far from Mario’s best, but certainly a fun time whether alone or with friends via a new co-op mode.”

It’s set to be an exciting few months for Nintendo Switch fans.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdomis poised to launch on 26 September, and let’s not forget that a new console is due to be announced before the fiscal year ends.
