DK in the house.
More icons have been added to Nintendo Switch Online’s line-up and this time, they’re based on Donkey Kong. With nine up for grabs, each one priced at 10 Platinum Points, players are required to spend 90 Platinum Points to get them all. But before you are allowed to purchase them outright, as long as you still have the Nintendo Entertainment System – Nintendo Switch Online application downloaded, you will need to boot up Donkey Kong.
You need not play the game, as loading it is more than enough to complete the mission and gain access to the nine new icons, three of which, are of Donkey Kong himself. As for a peak at the complete line-up, we have that here:
