Go Bananas As Virtual Console Takes You On A Safari To Donkey Kong Country

18th May 2007 - Stake your claim as king of the jungle this week as Nintendo's world famous ape family swing their way onto Virtual Console. Released for the Super Nintendo in 1995, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest sees our hero Donkey Kong take a step aside to allow his family members to take centre stage. When the big ape himself is kidnapped, it is up to the young Diddy and Dixie Kong to fight their way through eight worlds of comical action to save their superstar relative. Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest is available now for 800 Wii Points.

Joining this retro classic is another all-time great from Nintendo's archives. Originally making its debut in 1992 on the NES, Mario & Yoshi is a fast-paced puzzle game starring everybody's favourite plumber and his faithful dinosaur side-kick, Yoshi. In this game, players must catch falling enemies from the Mario series in-between egg shells, to free Yoshi trapped inside. With increasingly difficult stages to master and a frantic split-screen multiplayer mode to enjoy with a friend, this is the ideal title for puzzle fans! Mario & Yoshi is now available to download for 500 Wii Points.

These great games will join the list of 87 classic titles already available for the Virtual Console in Europe.
