Along with the arcade version of Donkey Kong
Nintendo unveiled that the unreleased arcade gameSky Skipperwill be coming to the Switch this July via the Arcade Archives line-up. This was a game originally made in the early ’80s with cabinet art done by Shigeru Miyamoto. For one reason for another, it never released, but 10 cabinets were made for test locations. Only one remains and that was where the rom for the game was pulled from.
Nintendo isn’t going to be touching up the translation for anything; this is the pure arcade experience as it was originally meant to be played. The only addition will be online leaderboards to share your scores, which should hopefully giveSky Skipperthe competitive element it never had the chance to revel in.
Along with that, the arcade version ofDonkey Kongis also coming to Switch. Coming is actually incorrect because you’re able to download that right now from the eShop. This will be similar toSky Skipperin that it will have online leaderboards to host your scores for the world to see. I’m sure we’ll get perfect runs in no time, so look out for that.
