Donkey Kong 64 is arriving on Switch Online this week, Nintendo just announced. It will be available on June 4, 2026.
Note that you’ll need to be a member of the Expansion Pack tier of Nintendo Switch Online. With that membership, the game can be accessed via the Nintendo 64 – Nintendo Classics library app.
Donkey Kong 64 originally released in 1999. Here’s some information about it, courtesy of Nintendo:
With a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership, you’ll be able to join the DK crew as they climb, swim and jump through treacherous and puzzling areas while taking advantage of their special abilities and upgrades. Hunt for collectibles and play wacky minigames while solo, or duke it out in battle arenas with friends in four-player split-screen action (additional accessories may be required for multiplayer mode; sold separately). There’s enough fun to go around to make you go bananas!
Donkey Kong 64 begins with K. Rool back again for another nefarious Kong-quest. Our furry hero Donkey Kong (the leader of the bunch) must take the fight to K. Rool and the Kremlings, reclaim his Golden Bananas and save his homeland from certain doom. Choose from DK, Diddy Kong, Tiny Kong, Lanky Kong and Chunky Kong and play solo in a quirky adventure or with friends in competitive battle arenas.
