Nintendo has fulfilled the prophecy, adding the final Donkey Kong Land game to its Game Boy application for Nintendo Switch Online (NSO) subscribers today.
North America gets the black-and-white Game Boy version of the game released in 1997 (seen above), while Japan gets their region-exclusive Game Boy Color version originally released in the year 2000 (seen below). The Japanese one is amazingly titled Donkey Kong GB: Dinky Kong and Dixie Kong.
“Will you be the one to uncover the secrets of the Lost World?
Nintendo’s official description
Fame-and-fortune seekers have journeyed far and wide in search of the fabled Lost World. Eager to find it first, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong set off to discover its entrance, unaware that Baron K. Roolenstein and his Kremling Krew are hot on their tail! Meanwhile, Dixie Kong is left behind to babysit her younger cousin, Kiddy Kong. But that won’t stop her from answering the call of adventure!
Help Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong through 36 Kremling-infested levels, each containing their own secret areas and bonus levels! While Dixie Kong’s Helicopter Spin is useful for hovering away from obstacles, Kiddy Kong’s Somersault allows you to roll over land and jump farther after rolling off ledges!
Animal friends are back to help, and there are plenty collectibles and items to find along the way. Help the adventuring duo be the first to uncover the entrance to the secret Lost World!”
Don’t hesitate to play these; all three games are fantastic and feature exclusive levels compared to the console Donkey Kong Country games.
