Donkey Kong Country... on the Game Boy Color?

In the early 2000s, Nintendo and Rare teamed up to do the impossible: bring one of the biggest, most visually lush Super Nintendo games and squash it down into the underpowered Game Boy Color. Donkey Kong Country for the GBC is a fascinating demake, one that is surprisingly successful in many ways. It is also in many ways the culmination of the Game Boy's Donkey Kong Land series, sharing more than a few assets and music tracks with those games. Supplanted soon after by a vastly superior Game Boy Advance port, Donkey Kong Country for the Game Boy Color is a fascinating time capsule for a very specific moment in portable gaming history.

My mom bought me a gameboy color on accident at a garage sale. It came with a few games, including Donkey Kong Country, and I remember playing it for hours on end. Best accidental gift

This port/demake has always been fascinating to me. It felt absolutely nutty what Game Boy could do in late in its life, I honestly hope this version of DKC ends up on Switch as well

Donkey Kong Country on the GBC always seemed interesting to me from a technical standpoint. I think it pretty much pushed the GBC as far as it could go, and I have to give them credit for that. It's funny that DKC would get ported yet again just a few years later on GBA, which is the portable version of DKC that I went with. Nothing beats the original though, and I'm glad I can just load it up on my Switch nowadays if I want to play it on the go. Great video!

That was a really good video, I'll have to buy me a copy of DKC GBC now. It is fascinating how they managed to port it to lower end hardware.

Just be careful how you buy it. You may come across a copy that doesn't work. I had to buy another copy on mercari. I would show you what I mean, but a long story short, most gbc games aren't cleaned or soldered very well, so one copy I got I put the game into my gba sp and the game didn't work it had the GAME BOY Nintendo logo and then it was just the white screen of death but then the other copy I got it worked. So again, be careful how you buy stuff online

I'm going to give it a go on my Analogue Pocket I have played it years ago but doubt if I finished it.

I have all three versions on my Samsung Galaxy S8 (yeah, I'm still using a 2017 phone as I don't believe in upgrading when the phone I have still works and is still supported) thanks to the Internet Archive's complete ROM sets you can download in a ZIP folder, and I play through the GBC version a lot.

When I was a kid I only had Donkey Kong Country 2 SNES, but had all 3 Land games and GBC DKC. Considering how different Donkey Kong Land 1 was to DKC compared to how amazingly faithful Donkey Kong Land 2-3 were, I am glad that DKC got its second chance at a faithful Gameboy game.

I'm gonna have to give it a play, I recently completed Super Mario Bros Deluxe and enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

Depending on who you ask, but Gameboy Color was considered a stopgap to extend the Gameboy's lifespan just a little longer while the Gameboy Advance was being worked on.

@zultriova89 8 месяцев назад
