And the Donkey Kong Land series is headed to 3DS
Back in November 2012, Nintendo removed theDonkey Kong Countryseries from the Wii’s Virtual Console for some reason that, to my knowledge, was never publicly addressed. But those games will resurface this month on Wii U alongside theDonkey Kong Landseries on 3DS.
The release schedule, at least for the UK, is as follows:
Bonus: if you purchase one of theDonkey Kong Countrytitles before November 6, you’ll get a 33 percent discount onDonkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. Similarly, folks who get aDonkey Kong Landtitle can save 33 percent onDonkey Kong Country Returns 3D.
Nintendo of America hasn’t made an announcement about the re-releases yet but, presumably, we’ll get them too. Even thoughDKC 2is nearly inseparable from my Super Nintendo, I’d love the chance to nab it and its follow-up on Wii U. TheDonkey Kong Landgames were good for what they were, but I could never get over the limited Game Boy graphics. Too much of a downgrade.
