Nintendo Switch Online subscribers have a new nostalgic adventure to enjoy: the 1995 Game Boy classic Donkey Kong Land is now available on the service. This update comes shortly after the 30th anniversary of the SNES classic Donkey Kong Country, making it a perfect celebration for fans of the iconic series.Originally developed by Nintendo and Rare, Donkey Kong Land is a 2D platformer that expands on the beloved Donkey Kong Country trilogy. Released in June 1995, it features Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong embarking on a mission to reclaim their stolen banana hoard, which was taken by their nemesis, King K. Rool, after a challenge from Cranky Kong. With 30 levels across four distinct worlds, the game quickly earned its place as one of the most cherished titles in the franchise, even spawning its own trilogy with sequels in 1996 and 1997.

Starting December 1, 2024, the cost of the Fortnite Battle Pass will rise to 1,000 V-Bucks, marking the first increase from its long-standing 950 V-Bucks price. This adjustment begins with the Chapter 6 Battle Pass. Previously, players could earn back their V-Bucks by leveling up to 100 in a season. However, changes like reduced quests, fewer XP opportunities, and the shift of V-Buck rewards to higher tiers have made this more challenging over time.Players can still purchase V-Bucks through Starter Packs, bundles, or Quest Packs, though price hikes in 2023 and 2024 have made this pricier for many. Save the World Founders remain the only group with access to free V-Bucks, but Epic Games has limited their earnings by removing features like login rewards and the Collection Book.
