 [![More information Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze known](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/meer-informatie-donkey-kong-country-tropical-freeze-bekend.jpg "More information Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze known")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/meer-informatie-donkey-kong-country-tropical-freeze-bekend.jpg)On May 4, Nintendo Switch owners can get started with Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze for the Nintendo Switch. The game appeared on the Wii U before, but will also appear on the Nintendo Switch.

The Japanese eShop has announced the file size of the game. The game will take up 6.6GB.

It is very striking that the game is less than the Wii U version, which took up 11.4GB. The game is about half the size of the Wii U version, unless there is a mistake in the eShop.

Japanese can already pre-load the game, but this option will most likely soon appear in Europe.
