<p>Following on from last week’s <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/05/nintendos_upcoming_switch_online_nes_titles_include_donkey_kong_jr_vs_excitebike_and_clu_clu_land">website reveal</a>, Nintendo has now officially confirmed <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nes/donkey_kong_jr">Donkey Kong Jr.</a></strong>, <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nes/clu_clu_land">Clu Clu Land</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nes/vs_excitebike">VS. Excitebike</a></strong> will arrive on the Switch Online NES service on 15th May.</p>
<p>Thanks to the official PR, we now have a bit more information about each of these classic games:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em><strong>Donkey Kong Jr.</strong></em> – Based on the popular arcade game, <em>Donkey Kong Jr.</em> is the sequel to the immensely successful <em>Donkey Kong</em><sup>™</sup>game. Play as Donkey Kong’s son, and rescue your dad who has been kidnapped and imprisoned in a cage by Mario. Use jumping and climbing abilities to clamber up vines and chains, gather vital fruit and keys, and open the cage to free your father. Make sure you avoid the pesky birds, nasty electric sparks and creepy chompers. Four different worlds filled with numerous climbing and jumping puzzles await you in this timeless classic.</p>
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
<p><em><strong>VS. Excitebike</strong></em> – Fans love the <em>Excitebike</em><sup>™</sup> game for its frenetic races, high stakes and sweet jumps. With this game, you can take it to the next level with the Famicom<sup>™</sup> disk version of <em>VS. Excitebike</em> – complete with two-player split screen. Create tracks from 20 classic <em>Excitebike</em> track parts, and go for a best time or take on friends. Racing is even more exciting when the rivalries are real. You can also try out the single-player mode in <em>VS. Excitebike</em>. It adds tracks, music and the ability to save your high score.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p><em><strong>Clu Clu Land</strong></em> – The greedy Sea Urchins have stolen all of Clu Clu Land’s gold bars and buried them in a series of mazes. As Bubbles, a brave bubble fish, you’ll set out to uncover all of the gold bars in each maze. With 20 stages to complete and increasingly complex conditions (like having to pass over the gold bars twice to uncover them), you might just want to bring along a friend for help.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>For the second month in a row, Japan will receive the exact same line-up as the west. Below is a trailer of what you can expect:</p>
