Nintendo has announced that several classic Donkey Kong titles are now available on the Nintendo eShop. Donkey Kong Land, Donkey Kong Land 2, and Donkey Kong Land III have been added to the 3DS’ Virtual Console, while the Wii U gets Donkey Kong Country, Donkey Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest, and Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong’s Double Trouble. 
Previously, Donkey Kong Country (and only Donkey Kong Country) was available for purchase and play on the Wii Virtual Console starting on February 19, 2007 in North America. It was available until being delisted on November 16, 2012.
In celebration of classic titles being added, Nintendo is offering what they are calling a “Donkey Kong Knock-out Offer.” By purchasing one or more of the Donkey Kong titles from the eShop, you’ll also get 30% off of your purchase of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze on the Wii U or Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D on the 3DS. The offer is available now until March 3 at 8:59pm PST.
Check out details on each game below in case you somehow haven’t played them yet, as well as a trailer for DK’s return to the Virtual Console from Nintendo.
