Donkey Kong 64 is finally coming to Nintendo Switch Online — the N64 classic lands for all Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers on June 4th.
Players can choose from five Kong family members and tackle the game solo or jump into competitive four-player split-screen battle arenas with friends. The setup is vintage Rare: King K. Rool kidnaps the Kong family to distract Donkey Kong, and it's up to DK to rescue them, reclaim his Golden Bananas, and save DK Island. The game joins an already solid N64 lineup on the service that includes The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, GoldenEye 007, PilotWings 64, and Yoshi's Story.
Donkey Kong 64 has been one of the most-requested additions to the Switch's N64 library for years, so June 4th can't come soon enough for a lot of subscribers.
