If you are a Donkey Kong fan you are eating good this month as Donkey Kong Land III has now arrived on the Nintendo Switch Online service and is available today. If you haven't played the Donkey Kong Land games before I highly recommend playing them as they aren't just straight ports of their SNES Donkey Kong Country counterparts. They all have the same spirit and a lot of the same music and mechanics of those games but the developers were able to make the Donkey Kong Land games into a series of their own with their own levels and mechanics.
With this all of the Donkey Kong Land games are now available on the Nintendo Switch Online service. There are a couple of other handheld Donkey Kong games but I'm not sure if they will make the jump though I would like for them to. First off there was a Game Boy Color port of Donkey Kong Country. For it's time it was a pretty good port of the SNES game and while of course today one would probably prefer playing the original over this, it's still an interesting project and worth playing to see what they accomplished with the hardware back then.
