I simply completed enjoying all the Donkey Kong Nation video games.
I discovered the Sport Boy Colour DKC1 at a CeX not too long ago and purchased it.
I then were given the 3 DKC video games on GBA from eBay. (DKC3 GBA turns out somewhat dear typically, however I controlled to win it in a bid that used to be less than the buy-it-now listings, which used to be great)
That is how I went about doing it: I performed DKC1 on SNES NSO, and would whole an international. Then I performed on GBC and finished the similar international. Then I performed on GBA and finished the similar international once more. And I’d trade like that. To look the variations between every model.
Used to be more or less a laugh to do it this manner.
I did the similar for DKC2 and DKC3 with their NSO and GBA variations.
DKC3 used to be in particular attention-grabbing with its GBA model, because it added a brand spanking new international known as Pacifica, situated within the north-west of the overworld map.
(…Pacifica Northwest? made me call to mind Gravity Falls for no explanation why), and in addition has a fully other soundtrack to the SNES model.
However total, for all 3 video games, once they ported the extent design over to GBA, they did not all the time switch it completely – occasionally an out-of-reach barrel on SNES used to be completely reachable on GBA, or a line of Gnawties that you’ll be able to simply roll thru on SNES would purpose you to take successful on GBA. It felt just like the conversion wasn’t all the time very best, and the SNES originals all the time had probably the most planned and congruous stage design, in spite of the GBA including new content material and enhancements on most sensible.
I additionally performed the Sport Boy DK Land video games on NSO. They had been tremendous. DK Land 1 used to be indisputably its personal factor, although it felt unrefined, and the cloud ranges are simply hectic.
DK Land 2 used to be very a lot looking to be a GB port of DK Nation 2 with simplified stage layouts. It felt somewhat redundant, but it surely wasn’t dangerous.
And DK Land 3 sits someplace in between – now not precisely a DKC3 rehash, however now not its personal completely new factor like DK Land 1 both. It is k. I loved them.
I then performed DKC Returns at the 3DS (did not really feel like purchasing the Transfer port after I had this one in my assortment already), and Tropical Freeze on Transfer.
They’re just right video games, however I discovered them extremely irritating to play now and then. Tropical Freeze used to be a lot better than Returns personally, however I used to be stunned that I discovered myself playing them so much lower than the SNES video games.
I used to be additionally stunned at how extraordinarily tricky they’re compared. In most cases you would be expecting a contemporary Wii technology sport to be more straightforward than a vintage SNES technology sport proper? Hahaha. No. DKC Returns used to be one of the vital tricky video games I have performed in a very long time.
For either one of those video games I were given 100% however didn’t attempt to opt for Replicate Mode / Arduous Mode in any respect. One playthrough used to be sufficient for me.
