Nintendo today hosted a Super Nintendo World Direct livestream that featured Shigeru Miyamoto giving a deep dive look into the Donkey Kong Country-themed land.

The new land will feature a family roller coaster, called Mine-Cart Madness, congas you can hit to a rhythm, letters that can found throughout the land that can be scanned on the new Donkey Kong Power-Up Band, character meet and greets, and new food options.

Donkey Kong Country will open at Universal Studios Japan on December 11, 2024, and will also be a part of Super Nintendo World at Epic Universe in Florida when the theme park opens in May 2025.

Where are the Kremlins? King K. Rool? What about the other Animal Buddies like Enguarde, Expresso, Winky, Rattly, Squitter, Ellie? And the other members of the DK crew? I hate how Nintendo barely seems to aknowledge anything prior Donkey Kong Country Returns in any recent DK media

Also, where's Donkey Kong junior? He's been MIA since the mid-90's

Miyamoto is so charming in this video. He is a real treasure. Apparently Universal Studio Japan has attracted more visitors than Tokyo Disneyland over the last few years since Super Nintendo World opened.

Yeah, they really nailed the costume, it looks really exactly like in the games.
