Will Donkey Kong on the Game boy Advance be more successful then when it was on the NES?

By gamepopper | Review Date:
Donkey Kong was first in arcades in 1981, it was so popular that in 1983 and 1985, Donkey Kong came to the Famicom and the NES. In 2005, Donkey Kong was re-released on the Game boy Advance handheld consoles for the NES Classics series. Though I find Donkey Kong a Classic Arcade game like Xevious.

The gameplay is good, classic like it was on the NES. Though there are only 3 stages which are repeated when you beat all 3 of them and they are really difficult and confusing at start. The only thing that’s different as of all the NES Classics is the Game boy Advance Menu. By pressing the Trigger buttons on any of the gameboy advance handheld systems

The graphics are regular 8 bit pure and simple.

The music really good and regular like the NES version, but the other sounds are completely annoying. I can’t get it out of my head, If you are playing the game, it is best to turn your volume down.

Overall, game play gives the classic feel with a slight difference, graphics are all the same, music is good but not the sounds during gameplay. If you love classic games and you want to kill your time, get this game.
