Players can change various game settings such as game difficulty, so you can either challenge yourself or get to Lady at the top of the construction site for the first freakin' time. Players can also compete against each other with their high scores, which is a nice callback to the arcade version.

Donkey Kong wasn't the only '80s game announced for Nintendo Switch at E3, with long-lost 1981 game Sky Skippersalso coming in July, reports Kotaku.

They're the latest two for the Arcade Archives series, a series of various arcade titles re-released by publisher Hamster. On Switch, you'll already find Double Dragon, Super Mario Bros.and more.
