Now, Nintendo is once again calling Donkey Kong&#8217;s number, only this time that number is 64: Donkey Kong 64 will reemerge, for better or worse, via Nintendo Switch Online early next month.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DK64 features DK and an entire crew of helpers, from the familiar Diddy Kong to the lesser-known Lanky, Chunky, and Tiny Kong. Together, the five Kongs go out on a 3D platforming adventure to stop King K. Rool from once again trying to steal DK Island&#8217;s banana hoard.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Donkey Kong 64 \u2013 Nintendo 64 \u2013 Nintendo Classics \u2013 Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Jpz4TZ7CAsQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the time, DK64 was praised for its platforming, but over time, players have come to malign the game for its tedious Kong-specific tasks, marred further by the clunky switching mechanic, as well as some overly difficult minigames. One minigame in particular, Beaver Bother, has become a pain point for those revisiting the game now.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps the game&#8217;s most prominent claim to fame, however, was its opening theme, the DK Rap. If you&#8217;ve ever heard the tune&#8217;s &#8220;DK! DONKEY KONG! DK! DONKEY KONG!&#8221; hook, it&#8217;s now stuck in your head, and we are sorry for that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Donkey Kong 64 lands on Nintendo Switch Online&#8217;s Nintendo 64 app on June 4. Other recent NSO additions include V-Tetris and Jack Bros. for the Virtual Boy, as well as Pac-Man and The Tower of Druaga for the NES.<\/p>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/articles\/if-you-hate-yourself-you-can-now-play-this-n64-game-on-switch-and-switch-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last year, Donkey Kong made a huge splash on Nintendo&#8217;s brand-new Switch 2 console with Donkey Kong Bananza, which quickly gained critical acclaim for its&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1864,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[258,433,10514,2651,255],"class_list":["post-56069","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech-gadgets-reviews","tag-game","tag-hate","tag-n64","tag-play","tag-switch","wpcat-32-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56069","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=56069"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56069\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=56069"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=56069"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=56069"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
