Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze finally has a listing on the North American Switch eShop, and pre-loading is now available. That means you can be ready for the launch of the digital version by paying for the game in advance and downloading the required data. Then on launch day, you’ll just have to connect to the internet one time to begin playing.

Just in case you’re curious, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze can also be pre-loaded in Europe. That option has actually been available for quite some time.

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze takes up 6.6GB on Switch.
