This week, Nintendo released Excitebike 64. That’s pretty cool, but we’ve already looked at that game. What are we going to do now? Thankfully, there are still a whole bunch of 8- and 16-bit games on the Nintendo Switch Online service that we haven’t featured in the Review Crew. I’m talking about games like the Donkey Kong Country trilogy, which ran on the Super NES between 1994 and 1996. All three of these games were massive hits at the time, but are any of them actually worth playing? To answer that question, I decided to flip through the pages of Electronic Gaming Monthly, Die Hard Game Fan, Nintendo Power and more classic magazines to see what the critics said back when these games first came out. So, get off that rhino and gather around, because we’re going to be looking at the Donkey Kong Country trilogy in this episode of Nintendo Switch Online Review Crew.
