Nintendo Switch Online Keeps Ignoring One Of Donkey Kong's Biggest Games
Nintendo Switch Online seems to be neglecting a major title. 2024 is a huge year for one of Nintendo's oldest franchises, as the iconic series celebrates its 30th anniversary, and the company seems committed to showing how important remains to it. With the opening of the Donkey Kong Country theme park at Universal Studios Japan steadily approaching, alongside the upcoming release of for the Switch, there's lots for fans of the franchise to look forward to.
NSO has also joined in the ongoing celebrations, having recently added a string of classic titles to its virtual console service. It serves as a great way of preserving these beloved titles for current Switch players to easily access and enjoy. However, the most recent games that have been added to the service have once again highlighted the absence of one crucial title in particular:. Its exclusion from the service remains baffling, as it remains one of the most important titles in the history of the franchise.
On Wednesday, December 4, Nintendo announced that, originally released for the Game Boy in 1997, had been added to the NSO service. This addition follows the recent inclusion of the first two games, making this entire series available on the Switch. It's another huge win for the NSO service, as it continues to expand its library of retro games, making them more accessible for current Switch players to relive those classic experiences, while newer players get to discover them for the first time.
The inclusion of the titles is also a huge win due to their lesser-known status. While they were certainly successful when first released on Game Boy, in retrospect the series has often been overshadowed by its groundbreaking SNES counterpart. Moreover, the series had seen little support prior to their addition to NSO, only being rereleased once before for the 3DS. The inclusion of the games on NSO has avoided any risk of these games falling into obscurity, while also recognizing the impact they have made.
