OK, we can all stop asking now (for this game, anyway). Nintendo just announced that Donkey Kong Country is coming to the Switch Online’s catalogue of retro games on July 15.
Three more titles will be added to the #NES & #SNES – #NintendoSwitchOnline collection on 7/15, including #DonkeyKong Country!

It’ll be joined by SNES game Natsume Championship Wrestling, while The Immortal — which you may know more for its box art than the game itself — is also arriving on the NES side of things.
Japan, meanwhile, gets the first Super Nintendo Shin Megami Tensei game:
DKC is a great addition and I’ll definitely replay it thru.
Now for Super Mario All Stars? One can dream.
OMG!!! Natsume Championship Wrestling!! FORGET DKC! THIS IS IT PEOPLE!
HE’S OFF THE ROPES AND INTO HIS OPPONENT!!! ASTEROID IS DOWN FOR THE COUNT, PHANTOM IS THE NEW WINNER OF NATSUME CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING!!!
Meanwhile in DKC land, he’s running straight into the ropes of boredom, am I right?
If you’re familiar with AVGN, you’re familiar with The Immortal.
Finally we’re getting Rare’s Donkey Kong Country as part of Nintendo Switch Online’s range of archive retro games.
Good at least now I can go back and replay Donkey Kong Country that I played so much ever since I was a young boy playing Donkey Kong Country on the SNES.
