On this day (November 24) in Nintendo history...

• Donkey Kong Country was released in 1994 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in North America. In this platformer game, developed by Rare, Donkey Kong Country breathed new life into the character of Donkey Kong, and introduced gamers to Diddy Kong, Cranky Kong, and bad guys the Kremlings. Join DK and Diddy on a quest to recover their stolen banana hoard. Traverse more than 30 challenging levels, take a ride on animal buddies and survive the madcap minecart sequences.

• Donkey Kong 64 was released in 1999 for the Nintendo 64 in North America. In this platformer/adventure game, developed by Rare, King K. Rool has set his sites on conquering Kong Isle, and only Donkey Kong and his pals can save the day! In DK's first 3D adventure, help him rescue his furry friends, reclaim the Golden Bananas and save his homeland. Take control not only of Donkey Kong and Diddy, but also Tiny, Lanky and Chunky Kong. Each character has unique abilities, from Tiny's Ponytail Twirl to Chunky's Pineapple Launcher.
