Nintendo Unleashes Another Timeless Classic on Switch Online: Dive into Donkey Kong Land 3!

Get ready, retro gaming enthusiasts! Nintendo has just made a delightful addition to its Switch Online Game Boy library by bringing back the beloved Donkey Kong Land 3, the third installment in Rare's iconic series. Following the nostalgic returns of Donkey Kong Land and its sequel, players can now embark on a new adventure alongside Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong!

Released originally in 1997 for the Game Boy, Donkey Kong Land 3 is now accessible to anyone with an active subscription to Nintendo’s Switch Online service. Here’s what you need to know about this fantastic game:

In this exciting sequel, players will join Dixie Kong on a quest to discover the elusive Lost World. She may be babysitting her younger cousin, Kiddy Kong, but that won’t stop her from answering the call of adventure! As players traverse through 36 creatively designed levels swarming with Kremlings, they’ll encounter hidden areas and bonus stages ripe for exploration.

Nintendo's official description captures the adventure perfectly: “Will you be the one to uncover the secrets of the Lost World? 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!”

Players can utilize the unique abilities of both characters: Dixie Kong’s Helicopter Spin lets her hover gracefully over obstacles, while Kiddy Kong can perform somersaults to overcome hurdles and jump farther after rolling. Plus, players can expect to find thrilling animal companions to assist them in their journey, alongside countless collectibles that will keep the adventure engaging.

Adding to the excitement, Japan has received a version of Donkey Kong Land 3 specifically for the Game Boy Color, which was released there in 2000.
