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.

This was on my long-time wishlist of games for NSO. I’m still waiting on Diddy Kong Racing and Mischief Makers but DK64 will keep me happy for a while.

About fucking time. I only wanted NSO N64 for this, the Banjo games and Pokémon Stadium 1 and 2.
Finally. Only ever played on the original N64 hardware, but heard there was input lag on Wii U VC that affected some of the mini games - hopefully an issue that will have been resolved here.
