SNES classic Donkey Kong Country arrives on Nintendo Switch next week via the Nintendo Switch Online app, as part of its 15th July update.

Rare's platformer is a highlight of the SNES era, with ahead-of-its-time visuals and gameplay that still stands up today. Its success helped propel Donkey Kong into a cultural icon, and has been ported endlessly since.

It's joined by fellow SNES title Natsume Championship Wrestling and NES game The Immortal.

Originally released in 1990, The Immortal is a dark and bloody dungeon adventure where you battle goblins and trolls.

Here's a look at them all in action:
