In a recent update on November 25, Nintendo Switch Online gave subscribers a delightful surprise by adding Donkey Kong Land 2 to its collection of Game Boy titles. This addition came on the heels of the platform releasing the first Donkey Kong Land game just four days earlier, allowing fans to dive back into some nostalgic gameplay.
Having originally launched in 1996 by the combined efforts of Nintendo and Rare, Donkey Kong Land 2 follows its predecessor, Donkey Kong Land. It took significant cues from the SNES fan-favorite, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest. Players get to navigate through 40 exciting levels as they take on the roles of Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong, all in a bid to rescue Donkey Kong from the notorious Kaptain K. Rool. The storyline echoes a simpler version of Donkey Kong Country 2, where K. Rool holds Donkey Kong captive, demanding the prized banana hoard in exchange for his release.
Just shy of a week since the first game was unveiled on the Game Boy app, Nintendo Switch Online users can now enjoy its sequel. The news, confirmed through Nintendo’s lively 44-second social media trailer, showcases the various skills Diddy and Dixie possess. Diddy’s sharp cartwheels and speedy antics contrast nicely with Dixie’s ability to glide gracefully and wrangle objects with her ponytail. When embarking on this adventure, gamers have the option to switch between Game Boy, Game Boy Pocket, and Game Boy Color filters. For those eager to jump in, all you need is an active internet connection; the app updates itself automatically for subscribers.
For those preferring a manual touch, there’s always the option to head over to the Options menu. From there, just navigate to Software Update, select Update via Internet, and you’re good to go! Naturally, the system will ensure an active Nintendo Switch Online subscription is in place. With Donkey Kong Land being a trilogy of the Game Boy era, fans are eagerly waiting to see if Donkey Kong Land 3 will join its siblings on the Nintendo Switch Online in the future.
The timing of Donkey Kong Land 2’s arrival coincides with a bustling period for the series. Between the exciting December debut of the Donkey Kong Country expansion at Super Nintendo Land in Japan and the anticipated January release of Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, fans of this iconic Nintendo franchise have plenty to cheer about.
