\"\"<\/a>
\nDonkey Kong<\/em>, the classic Nintendo arcade hit from way back in the NES days is making its way back to Nintendo … again. The original NES version of Donkey Kong<\/em> will be making its way onto the 3DS Virtual Console on August 15th.<\/p>\n

An iteration of the game was released previously on the 3DS as a special promotion between October 1st, 2012 and January 6, 2013 for those who purchased select games before the end date. The game wasn’t available as a stand alone game. <\/p>\n

This is the third time that the game has been released virtually. It was first released for the Wii Virtual Console as a VC launch title on November 19th, 2006 for 500 points. It was then released again on the Wii U Virtual Console title just a few weeks ago on July 15th at a special price of just 30 cents.<\/p>\n

The price of the game when it hits the 3DS will be $4.99, in line with the original price on the Wii.<\/p>\n

The game has popped up on Nintendo.com<\/a> with the release date of yesterday, but the game can be found listed in the 3DS eShop with the release date of August 15th.<\/p>\n

The game has been released in many forms over the years. It was available as a special playable NES game in Animal Crossing on the GameCube, was a card set for the short-lived Nintendo eReader and was even released in cartridge form on the Game Boy Advance.<\/p>\n

Will you be picking this one up? Did you download the game when it was released on the Wii? Will you be adding it to your Virtual Collection in a few weeks to go along side the Game Boy edition of Donkey Kong<\/em> already available?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
