They made a lot of cuts with their flagship title, and this GBA port carries every single glaring flaw. The NES was capable of producing huge, in-depth games. This means no "How High Can You Go" screens, no opening Donkey Kong climb to the top of the first level, and no Pie Factory. And why am I criticizing the NES version when I am reviewing the GBA version? Because the "NES Classics" version is a straight port of that version. ![]() That said, here lies one of the biggest mysteries the NES ever created: Why, oh why, could the system brought us the "Super Mario Bros." and "Legend of Zelda" series, simply not give us the Pie Factory level? Why is it missing animations and in-between screens? I can understand the older systems like the ColecoVision and Atari 2600, but not the NES. The GBA version also saves your high score, so that's something also to be noted. Simply put, the game has stood the test of time, and remains as fun to play now as it was then. It's a fun game with catchy music, memorable characters, fun animations and lots of challenge. So much has been said about the Donkey Kong arcade game, that it's simply one of gaming's biggest legends. (Note: This is for the 2004 "NES Classics" version, not the e-Reader card.)ĭonkey Kong remains a timeless classic, as well as the launching point for two of Nintendo's biggest stars: Mario and Donkey Kong.
