![]() The audio, too, seems to have been watered down a bit, but mostly in the theme music category. They still feature the 3D characters in a 2D world, but the graphics look almost fuzzy at times and the background is nowhere near as detailed as in the original. In the game you maneuver around and over bad guys and sudden drops via vine and barrel-shaped cannons.ĭespite the fact that the GBA is much more powerful than the SNES, the graphics seemed to have been dulled down a bit. The game is mostly a platform built in the line of the Mario franchise, which means plenty of hidden treasures, power-ups and caves. ![]() (Donkey is strong but slow, Diddy, quick but weak). Something you will want to do a lot to make use of each character's individual strengths. The play is exactly like in the original Super Nintendo version, although the controls can be a bit difficult to master, mostly because they rely on the shoulder buttons for at least one important move, the tag off. ![]() The controls allow you to roll into enemies, pounce on them or tag off and switch to either Diddy or Donkey. The plot is pretty basic you get to control Diddy and Donkey Kong as they go in search of bananas stolen by King K. Despite its 90's flavor, DKC is still a lot of fun to play. Unfortunately, while the gameplay is still loads of fun and the levels well-designed, the graphics and sound remain set back in the early 90s. ![]() You'll only see it on the Super NES-NOT on 32-Bit adapters or on a nearby planet. The perfect response time just adds to the game making you feel like you're a part of the action around you.ĭKC is an incredible breakthrough game in every shape and form. The new game features Donkey Kong and introduces his monkey sidekick, Diddy Kong, in a romp through fantastic worlds of adventure where they meet up with a cast of new friends who assist them in defeating their enemies and the diabolical evil Kremlings.ĭonkey Kong Country has some of the best game play the Super NES has ever seen with smooth, fluid movement of Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. It is nlso the first video game to use ACM (Advanced Computer Modeling), a proprietary design technology using Silicon Graphics, Inc., workstations and Rare Ltd.'s proprietary development systems. developer Rare Ltd.ĭonkey Kong Country is Nintendo's flagship product for its second half and reintroduces one of the most popular video game characters in history (introduced in arcades over 10 years ago). This beast of a game is bigger than any other Nintendo game ever made with 32-Megs of power and completely computer-rendered graphics, giving the game a three-dimensional look made possible through Nintendo's partnership with U.K. At least someone gets to experience this, but I do hope Nintendo realizes it’s leaving money on the table by relegating these to China only.Donkey Kong, King of the Nintendo jungle of characters, is back and he's bigger and better than ever and available for the first time on the Super NES. That being said, I don’t think the Wii version looks all that bad and I would have gladly paid $60 for both this and Tropical Freeze in a bundle on Switch. It simply looks like the Wii original running at a higher resolution with no updated textures. To be fair, this isn’t a complete remaster or anything. I really do have to question what logic goes through Nintendo’s minds sometimes. From out of nowhere, China has gotten the definitive version of this game and we’re left with a Switch port of Tropical Freeze with Funky Kong for $60. The real kicker, though, is that this new version not only renders at 1080p but axes the motion controls form the original. ![]() Previously, titles like Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Super Mario Galaxy were available on the device in HD, but Retro Studios’ Donkey Kong revival has just shown up.
