With Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze released on the Wii U last month, it seems fitting that a classic DK title might be re-released, to snugly fit into one of those spare squares on your 3DS home screen. At least if your 3DS lives in Japan.

Originally released in 1995, the Game Boy classic Donkey Kong Land is due to hit the 3DS virtual console in Japan next week – April 4 to be precise – for 411 Yen. There’s no news on a Western Release at this stage but stay tuned for any updates.
