Graphics aside I can't really see what Derek's complaining about. He seems to be doing well in the game, he isn't dying in a cheap fashion, the game is giving you the DK experience with the hardware it's got. It's DK on the go so don't expect it to be like the console original, plus the Gameboy Color is just the same as the first Gameboy, just with color, so seeing a game like this done on the system is pretty cool. Also the game looked interesting enough to play. His footage didn't show any downsides.

The port was pretty much flawless gameplay wise. Derek just doesn't want to admit that his love for DKC is based on graphics and nostalgia for the snes version.

Game Boy Color has twice as fast processor as that of the original Game Boy. It also has three times as much memory as the original. Because of that all Game Boy Color games don't work with the original Game Boy.

I feel like this version of DKC deserves a lot more credit than you're giving it. I don't know what you expect from GBC. Are you just insulted that it's not exactly like your precious SNES version? Do you think this version should not have even been released? This version brought enjoyment to many people on planes and on toilet in the 90s.

Review the game for what it is and stop comparing it to its SNES counterpart. Nobody in their healthy mind would expect the GBC to pull off what the SNES can. And you're not doing your job by talking about how good something else is. Forget there's Donkey Kong for the SNES and tell us: is this game fun, it entertained you, it would entertain us, is it a good game in and of itself? I don't care what it claims to be or what you think it claims to be. On the basis of the capabilities of the Gameboy Color, did the programmers come up with a playable and entertaining game or not? That's all we wanna know. Stop mentioning what this game is not and please talk about what this game is instead.

I completely and utterly disagree with the "review", the game obviously isnt the same as the snes, because, you know, its like comparing an atari game with an actual arcade. for what is worth, this game plays at least like 90% close to the original, and for a gbc game, it is flawless, tell me how many platformers were that good on the old gbc. a handfull tops. the graphics and sound take a hit, i will grant that, but gameplay? are you sure? i wont take that from a guy who dont use rolljumps on his gameplay.

Yeah, comparing 2 games that have the same title, same levels and are the same fucing game is the same as comparing two different games. This is a remake, it's just a worse remake. And that's how it's being reviewed as. From both a graphical and gameplay perspective this game is inferior. And obviously I don't need to mention sound, you can hear that.

***** a remake is often asociated with a upgrade for a game, not a downgrade, but anyway, it was cool to have a donkey kong country on the go, the land series was monocromatic and lacked features, this one not only has the full game, it even came with minigames and extras. by your standars there was no reason for any megaman, castlevania, mario bros or any port on the gameboy right?, well, i disagree, back then the the gap between handhelds and consoles was bigger than nowadays, so it was ok to loose some quality on the process. the important thing was the gameplay and the fun factor. and i repeat, the game was exelent in both the gba and the gbc port, i played those games for months, not only a few minutes for a quick review. he barely got past a few levels and he didnt do any roll-jump (a basic technique in any dkc game), so yeah, he can say he played the original a lot, but he is not showing it. and for graphics, when you emulate the game isnt the same as playing with the old screens, playing under sunlight really bring life to the sprites.

Diego Banega I would agree that it being port to hand held you should expect a downgrade. But I feel like a port like this was unnecessary, 6 years after the original. It probably would have been better to design a new DK, suited for the GBC. rather trying to port original. BTW all those game you mention Castlevania, Mario, Megaman. I'm pretty sure none of them were actually ports but rather unique games on the system.

This is one of those RARE times (pun intended) when I disagree with you-- and that's okay. I look at this game through its original lens... what it was when it was new... and it was mighty impressive to take a 16-bit game (complete with ACM) and somehow port it down to an 8-bit handheld. That was mindblowing to many at the time, myself included. Of course there were compromises made. The closer perspective can be frustrating. The play control may not be quite as tight. The colors are washed out. But... this version is as close to having a portable SNES (which wasn't far away with the GBA on the horizon) as we had then. I was okay with it. I mean... having Donkey Kong Country in my pocket to play at will was really something. If you look at this game through a modern lens, though, it doesn't hold up as well. The GBA port was better. Modern technology renders this version of DKC almost obsolete. It might be more frustrating to go back to this version today when other, better versions exist. I can definitely see that argument. I guess it's a matter of differing perspectives.

When I was a 6 years old I had a Game Boy Color. And along with Pokemon Gold, this was one of my favorite games I used to play. But unfortunately, I lost it on a cruise ship along with the DKC cart. But a couple of years later, I got a GBA SP for Christmas. A few years after that, I got the GBA port of Donkey Kong Country. It had character voices. The GBA port is the best port of Think DKC I go have played. I'm now 24 and this past Christmas, I got the SNES Classic Edition. I played DKC on it, and it has darker visuals.

Okay I absolutely loved this game as a child. In fact it was this game that caught my interest in Donkey Kong in the first. I owe my love for all donkey kong games whether it be handheld or console, to this very game. My best friend owned the snes version and did mention about the movement of the game. And when I finally played the original game, its just like Derek said, its way more fluid. If I had to choose, i would definitely go for the original one. One question tho: is the gba version any good?

It definitely had visibility issues, and it certainly wasn't as great as the original release, but it wasn't like it was unplayable or anything. This version of DKC was my introduction to the Donkey Kong franchise, so I wouldn't say it's bad, just not nearly as good.
@Nalojuntu
@Nalojuntu 6 жыл бұрын
I'd go the same line. I never had the SNES so it allowed me to play DKC for the first time. But, damm, the visibility issue is huge and very frustrating ! DKC gameplay heavely relies on perfectly rythmed jumps, even close to an actual rythm game. Not seeing what's coming next turns the game into very unfair deaths and endless retries on a lot of stages, where the only way to get through ends up being "learn-every-steps-of-this-long-sequence-by-heart" or "sheer luck". This is sad because you can get what the level design actually intended to do. You can even guess the coming puzzles a few screens ahead when you really understand the philosophy of it, the "puzzle progression" inside each stage (by "puzzle" I mean "platform challenges"). But the short square view makes its difficulty unfair and, I can tell, untrue to the intent of the SNES original. I'm sure many situations are way easier to handle on the original version. especially : - the "escalator" chains - the wagons stages and other "auto-scroll" stages as the one where you've got to catch fuel barrels to keep going - the "falling platforms" stages, where you need to anticipate... what you definitely can't see on screen ! : / Yes it's still playable. Yes it's amazing for the GBC. But the legend put aside, it's not the best plaform game available on the GBC. Mario's have a different gameplay, less "bouncy rythmed", but more precise, more fair. From what I get, Donkey Land 1, 2, 3 specifically created for the GB don't have these problems. ?

Also, I’ve heard that you gave Donkey Kong Land a better review, which doesn’t make sense. This is a better game than that, and it’s in color. You’re pretty much giving it a bad review for being called “Donkey Kong Country.”

I usually defend Derick on most things but hes dead wrong here. I consider these donkey kong game boy games including Donkey Kong land 1, 2 and 3 classics. They were not just direct ports but different , more basic takes of the SNES versions. Derick admits going off muscle memory and expecting it to play just like the SNES counterparts. I grew up playing both home and portable versions and love them both.

But when you compare it to any other platformer on the GBC, it stands out. Now if you want to compare the GBA version to the SNES version, the SNES version is better, despite the GBA being the more powerful system.

Takes four minutes for you to stop talking about donkey Kong country on snes and then sort of talk about the gbc version and then go back to snes and then back to this just to say it's not as tight and it's zoomed in. That's true but I don't think it's gamebreaking. For a gbc port it's about as good as it gets, better then I think the devs thought they could do, but nobody considered this the definitive version. It's not the version you would play today outside of nostalgia, but it was one of the only games I deemed playable on gbc outside of Mario land, Kirby and Pokemon as a kid. I couldn't put this down till I beat it, I couldn't believe a game this good was on the gbc. I gave this a thumbs down because I think the video was hyperbolic and it took you forever to say what you deemed was actually wrong with it. Also you sound like ralphthemoviemaker doing a jontron impression which only got grating near the end

Like when I tried out the GBC port of Commander Keen, a PC game I ADORE from my childhood, to me that game is the classic of classics, and ofcourse I didn't expect the GBC port to even stand up to its PC counterpart-------- I didn't however account for how shitty it would actually be.

It was nice to have this on the go back when it came out and I was stuck at family get-togethers with nothing to do but play my GBC. SNES version is the best though, iirc the GBA version has some issues also(didn't play it a lot).

I can't really see how they could've made this game any better for what it was. It's Donkey Kong Country for the Gameboy, and it really rocks at being that. If it's the year 2000 and I'm sitting in my living room with the option to either play it on the SNES or my Gameboy, I would almost certainly play it on the SNES. That's a given. Nobody expects what is obviously a downgraded port to play as well as the original. If I'm sitting on the schoolbus, or going camping, or I'm on a road trip with my family, it's great to have the portable option. The game isn't quite as smooth and solid as its original counterpart, but it's a damn good game all the same, and remains one of the best platformers for the Gameboy. This review failed to assess the merits of the game itself, but rather served as a comparison video (which it didn't even do that well.) There was nothing constructive or even specific about the game and what made it so bad. In summary, you pretty much explained that it's not the original so it's bad. People count on reviews so that we can have an idea of what to expect for the product being reviewed. This review failed to deliver. Try giving us some substance.

It may not be a good port, but it still seems a fine game for the GBC.

This was the version I grew up with as a kid. I remember playing it quite a bit on my Game Boy Advance. Am I glad I managed to play the original SNES version? Yes I am. But I can't say that this version is an imitator or a copycat. It's a port of Donkey Kong Country. Simple as that.

Don't agree with Derrick here. I've played the original SNES version, the GBA version, and this one, and the GBC game is solid. The frame rate is very smooth, and the collision detection perfect. Yes, there are minor alterations to the levels, and it is slightly more zoomed in, but it's still better than the Donkey Kong Land games. My grade 7/10.

It's an impressive port for the time...but now you can easily play the real DKC games on a plethora of handhelds.

You know some people only had a Game Boy and not a SNES. This is for those people and it's still a good game but if you have the super nintendo then you don't need this game on the Game Boy color.

It was a decent port for the GBC. Obviously not as good as the original but for portable gaming, it was still better than most games on that system. I even enjoyed the DKL games.

Considering the hardware they had to work with I don't think they could have done a lot better, and I'm somewhat impressed, but like others have said skip this one, and go for the 2003 GBA version.

Why did people think a zoomed in camera was a good idea on a gbc or regular gb system its not. Look at Mario land one its a good game but Mario kad 2 uses zumed in camera and while it's more playable than most its still not as enjoyable as the first one
