Nintendo’s website is listing DK Jungle Climber for release on the North American Wii U Virtual Console tomorrow. It will be available for $9.99.

Here’s an official overview:

King K. Rool is up to no good again, and it’s up to Donkey Kong to swing into action. Using a simple control scheme that makes the game fun and easy to play, players of all skill levels can swing and climb to new heights.

Donkey Kong and his friends decide to take a well-earned vacation at the beautiful Sun Sun Island. After enjoying a splash in the ocean, a hungry Donkey Kong and his friends see a massive banana floating atop a mountain. Without hesitation, they race off for the mountaintop, wondering what kind of adventure they’ll find! Play as Donkey Kong, or choose to play as Diddy Kong in Adventure mode. Players can look forward to new moves, new items, and a bunch of mini-games that are sure to make them go bananas!

Previously, DK Jungle Climber launched on the Japanese Wii U Virtual Console on July 8. The game has yet to come to the European eShop.
