Nintendo has announced another Donkey Kong game for the Switch: Donkey Kong Land is now available for Nintendo Switch Online.

Donkey Kong Land was originally released in 1995 for Game Boy and was considered the handheld version of Donkey Kong Country, which came out the year before for Super Nintendo. Although the games aren’t exactly the same.

Nintendo seems to be stepping up their Donkey Kong presence of late. A Switch port of Donkey Kong Country Returns was announced earlier this year, which is coming out in January, plus a big Donkey Kong expansion is being added to the Super Nintendo World theme park that’s opening in the U.S. in 2025. There have been whispers that Nintendo has been quietly working on a new 3D Donkey Kong platformer for Switch 2 as well, which will also most likely be launching in 2025. This activity we’re seeing from Nintendo could be a lead-up to that. We’ll see. Maybe 2025 will be the Year of Donkey Kong.

Donkey Kong Land is available now for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. Check out the announcement trailer below:
