Diddy Kong Racing could be cruising its way to Switch Online, according to a Nintendo leaker with a fairly reliable track record.

It's worth mentioning upfront that any leak is best served with a pinch of salt. In this case, the leaker has correctly predicted September's Nintendo Direct, the release of 2020's Paper Mario: The Origami King, and a few other Nintendo-related goings-on in recent memory. That said, leakers get things wrong all the time for a variety of reasons, and this one is no exception.

In a follow-up post titled 'More Rare Games Are Coming To Nintendo Switch Online', Zippo reaffirmed that their sources indeed say Killer Instinct, its sequel Killer Instinct Gold, and Diddy Kong Racing are all making their way to Switch Online at an unspecified point in the near future.

"So yes, I've heard that in addition to Banjo-Kazooie, Diddy Kong Racing, Killer Instinct and its sequel are also being planned for the service, in the near future with the strong possibility of more Rare games," the leaker writes.

I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
