Donkey Kong Land 2 added to Nintendo Switch Online

In a bit of an unexpected move, Donkey Kong Land 2 has just landed on Nintendo Switch Online. It can be accessed as part of the Game Boy app, which can be accessed if you’re a member of the service.

Donkey Kong Land 2, another platformer from Rare, first released in 1996. This time around, Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong are looking to save Donkey Kong from Kaptain K. Rool and the Kremling Krew.

Donkey Kong has been ape-napped, and it’s up to Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong to rescue their pal. Play as either Kong and take advantage of their unique abilities. Diddy’s Cartwheel can take out the bulkiest of baddies, while Dixie’s Helicopter Spin will let you hover over some tricky spots. There’s also a wild assortment of friendly animals ready to help out the two little Kongs. There are over 40 levels in all – each filled with traps, collectibles, dastardly Kremlings, and a boatload of barrels to blast out of!

Watch a trailer for Donkey Kong Land 2 on Nintendo Switch Online below.
