The previous version made for the original gameboy isn't in color and the graphics were updated to reflect the new DK games. This on the other hand is what we all fondly remember DK to be. I'll get this out of the way. Yes Nintendo is lazy.
I'm a huge retro gamer and am sorry I didn't add this to my collection sooner. If you are you'll want this too. Yes, the previous GB version is techinically a superior game. Yes, they should have ported the real DK.
Now that that's out the way, you should still buy this. Missing level or not it's classic DK and it's great being able to play it on the go.
Good game that really resembles the original arcade classic. Get's boring fast though.
This game is just like the SNES game. For me, a grandma, it was a little challenging to recall the controls and what I had to do to complete a level. For kids, it is great and easy enough to figure out yet challenging enough to keep them entertained for a while. The only drawback is the small screen on GBA or DS. I was used to the TV with my old SNES. It is a great way to regain a part of my younger days.
As much fun as this game was on the NES and now on the GBA (though compared to the original arcade version it still lacks the "pie factory/conveyor belt" screen), one could only wonder why this game couldn't have been sold as Donkey Kong Classics for the GBA, giving GBA owners the added fun of playing Donkey Kong Junior (a great arcade game that lost little in being translated for the NES) without messing around with eReader cards. It would have been worth the $20 paid for this game alone.
The nes game was missing this level too. I never had the chance to enjoy donkey kong in any form considering i don't have animal crossing, a nes, and i wasn't born in the 70s. But for all you people putting this game down 'caus it's missing a level, it says NES CLASSIC SERIES, not arcade classic series. This is still pretty fun game for classic mario fans.
