@JamesNintendoNerd 5 лет назад

When we record these, it’s all off the cuff, so I probably didn’t explain myself well. I believe Nintendo didn’t own the source code for the arcade Donkey Kong (because it may have been done out of house?) Which was the point I was clumsily attempting to make. Also, some will jump to say that the game was on the Nintendo 64 Donkey Kong game, but I believe that one was remade by Rare, it’s not the original rom.

@ryann5599 5 лет назад

👍👍

@theGreenGoblin 5 лет назад

Ok, I was wondering about that extra game in dk 64. But yeah, Donkey Kong '94 (what most folks call it) is definitely a hidden gem of the old school game boy.

@rezterralico4369 5 лет назад

From the double dragon talk a week ago I beat that game legit ONCE. That machine gun guy... the last boss looks like a joke after that prick.

@DrBrainLock 5 лет назад

Mike was having a hard time explaining it but I think he was trying to say that the Switch release was the first time the original arcade Donkey Kong rom was released and emulated on a console instead of being a port of the game. As to the rights issue I believe it actually had to do with the fact that Nintendo's early arcade games were co-developed by a third party that owned the rights to the original program, an issue that must have finally been resolved.

@politicalsubscriptions3676 5 лет назад

He seemed eloquent enough about it to me (but I also know the history, so who am I to say?). Also, am I misunderstanding James when he says this isn't as good as the NES/arcade version? This is by far the best version of Donkey Kong you can get anywhere. The post-arcade levels run circles around the original game. This game is a bring-to-a-desert-island gem. Pro tip: the side-flip works just like in Mario 64. Turn in the opposite direction while simultaneously hitting the jump button. You'll go places with that move.

@St4rTr3v1Ut10n 5 лет назад

It's a shame he had such a hard time explaining something so absolutely pointless. What is even the point in talking about the same game that came out on NES? Arcade version/NES version, they're the same game ffs.

@RingOtaku 5 лет назад

@@St4rTr3v1Ut10n a lot of times when arcade games are ported to console the change in circuit board hardware means minor changes in timing and sometimes level order that can impact Pro Gaming style. That's why those Official World Records for video games always state if the record was set on an actual cabinet or a port or even MAME which throws off precision timing of tight jumps.

@fluffypixels1978 5 лет назад

@@AizensPlan I feel like your comment is sarcastic since you're pointing out all the moves that aren't in it. But yeah, there are a lot of crazy acrobatic moves. Mario 64 took the ones from this and added onto them. You can do a backflip, triple jump, you can make Mario do a forward flip and he walks on his hands (meaning if an enemy lands on him it doesn't hurt) and then he does a huge jump out of the hand stand. There are probably more that i'm forgetting but yeah, there are some Mario 64/Sunshine/Odyssey move in it.

In the little cutscenes you see after each boss stage, Mario demonstrates the game's moves very clearly, including the handstand jump. It was bloody genius. The game is set up so that when you play it through a second time and you know all the moves beforehand, it's way easier.

this game is such an under rated and under appreciated gem, i really wish it got more traction than it did. it is on the Virtual Console for 3DS so you can easily get it again, and i do recommend it, it is a very good game.

I remember beating this game with a maxed out life counter (99) a month after it came out on Gameboy. One of my all-time favorite games on that system.

By far one of the best gameboy games. A ton of levels and value for your money which was important as a kid back when you pretty much had no idea what kind of game you would get when you bought it. Great puzzles that kept adding new obstacles every level.

I loved this game as a kid. I was originally disappointed when I received it as a gift one year, but then I started playing it and really enjoyed it, I played it straight to the end, amazing game, definitely recommend finishing it up. Might have to go dig up my old cartridge now...
