Donkey Kong Lands on 3DS Virtual Console later this week
The bananas Game Boy trilogy is back
The Donkey Kong Land trilogy are bound for the 3DS Virtual Console as part of the Donkey Kong Country Weeks promotion Nintendo will be running from October 16.
While Donkey Kong Land is a spin-off sequel of sorts to the original Donkey Kong Country, Donkey Kong Land 2 and Donkey Kong Land III follow their SNES counterparts much more closely.
Donkey Kong Land will hit the eShop on October 16, with Donkey Kong Land 2 and Donkey Kong Land III following on October 23 and October 30 respectively.
The Japan-exclusive Game Boy Color upgrade of Donkey Kong Land III, Donkey Kong GB: Dinky Kong & Dixie Kong was released on the Japanese 3DS Virtual Console earlier this year, but no word has been given as to which version will be released in the West.
The Game Boy Color re-engineering of the SNES classic Donkey Kong Country won't be hitting the Virtual Console alongside these spin-offs, but there's still hope yet.
