Nintendo Switch is finally getting Donkey Kong Country 2

The GOAT returns on September 23

Recommended Videos

[Update: DKC2, Mario’s Super Picross, The Peace Keepers, and S.C.A.T. – yes, S.C.A.T. – are now on Nintendo Switch if you have a Nintendo Switch Online account. What are you playing first?]

Our pleas have made it to Nintendo and the king is finally about to return. Donkey Kong Country 2 will be playable on Nintendo Switch starting September 23 for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers.

It has consistently topped fans’ most-wanted lists, and I’m right there with the crowd. I’d love the chance to reconnect with EarthBound, but DKC2 is my favorite game of all time. We made it, fam.

The SNES library is also getting Mario’s Super Picross (a first-time release outside of Japan) and The Peace Keepers, a funky Jaleco beat-’em-up. On the NES front, it’s S.C.A.T.: Special Cybernetic Attack Team, a Natsume shmup. Imagine if these retro releases happened on a regular basis. That sure would be nice.

Anyone else going for 102% completion?
