Nintendo has announced that Donkey Kong 64 will be added to the Nintendo 64 – Nintendo Classics lineup for Nintendo Switch Online members on June 4 for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.
Here’s an overview of Donkey Kong 64, via Nintendo:
Cross isles with the Kongs as they face King K. Rool.
With his mechanical isle stuck off the shores of DK Island, K. Rool kidnaps the Kong family to distract Donkey Kong. It’s up to our furry hero to rescue his friends, reclaim his Golden Bananas, and save his homeland from certain doom. Choose from five Kong members as you play solo in a quirky adventure or with friends in competitive battle arenas!
Join Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Tiny Kong, Lanky Kong, and Chunky Kong as they fight to keep DK Island safe and sound from K. Rool and his Kremling crew. Climb, swim, and jump with each of the five Kong members through treacherous and puzzling areas while taking advantage of their special abilities and upgrades. Encounter friendly aid from other Kongs and a caged Kremling by the name of K. Lumsy. Hunt for collectibles and play wacky minigames while solo, or duke it out in battle arenas with friends in a four-player split-screen view. There’s enough fun to go around to make you go bananas!
On Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members also have access to various Nintendo GameCube games, including Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, Luigi’s Mansion, Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, Super Mario Strikers, SoulCalibur 2, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, and F-ZERO GX. A Nintendo Switch Online-exclusive GameCube controller is also available now.
