NES Games Donkey Kong Jr., Clu Clu Land, & VS. Excitebike Arrives May 15 Via Nintendo Switch Online

Nintendo has officially announced the three NES titles that will be added to Switch Online service next week.

Classic NES games titles Donkey Kong Jr., Clu Clu Land and VS. Excitebike are coming to the Nintendo Entertainment System – Nintendo Switch Online collection. With these new additions, the Switch Online NES library will now hold more than 40 titles. If you’re subscribed in the service, you may update your Nintendo Switch Online NES app on May 15.

In addition, the Nintendo Switch Online app has also been updated to include Smash World, a new service for the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate game.

With Smash World, players can use a mobile device to view recommended gameplay videos and download custom stages created in the game’s Stage Builder mode directly to their game, providing more ways than ever before to share their Super Smash Bros. Ultimate experience with others.

Check out the trailer and details below:

• Donkey Kong Jr. – Based on the popular arcade game, Donkey Kong Jr. is the sequel to the immensely successful Donkey Kong^™ game. Play as Donkey Kong’s son, and rescue your dad who has been kidnapped and imprisoned in a cage by Mario. Use jumping and climbing abilities to clamber up vines and chains, gather vital fruit and keys, and open the cage to free your father. Make sure you avoid the pesky birds, nasty electric sparks and creepy chompers. Four different worlds filled with numerous climbing and jumping puzzles await you in this timeless classic.

• VS. Excitebike – Fans love the Excitebike^™ game for its frenetic races, high stakes and sweet jumps. With this game, you can take it to the next level with the Famicom^™ disk version of VS. Excitebike – complete with two-player split screen. Create tracks from 20 classic Excitebiketrack parts, and go for a best time or take on friends. Racing is even more exciting when the rivalries are real. You can also try out the single-player mode in VS. Excitebike. It adds tracks, music and the ability to save your high score.

• Clu Clu Land – The greedy Sea Urchins have stolen all of Clu Clu Land’s gold bars and buried them in a series of mazes. As Bubbles, a brave bubble fish, you’ll set out to uncover all of the gold bars in each maze. With 20 stages to complete and increasingly complex conditions (like having to pass over the gold bars twice to uncover them), you might just want to bring along a friend for help.

These three games join classics like Super Mario Bros.^™ 3, Donkey Kong, The Legend of Zelda^™ and many others, all of which have been enhanced with online features.

Nintendo Switch Online members also have access to the free-to-download software Tetris^® 99 as a special offer. The game includes online events like the Tetris 99 MAXIMUS CUP events.

Other features of the Nintendo Switch Online service include online play and Save Data Cloud backup in compatible games, plus a smartphone app that enhances features of supported games.
