What It Is
Donkey Kong is making its debut with its first game for the
Game Boy Advance (GBA). The title swung into stores at the
beginning of June, 2003.
The game is an updated version of the original side-scrolling
game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), with
all new features. In the game, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong
are trying to get Donkey Kong’s stolen bananas back from
King K. Rool and his Kremlings. Donkey and Diddy have help
from a bunch of friends as they search from the treetops of
the Kongo Jungle to the cliffs of Gorilla Glacier for those
stolen bananas.
Why It’s Fun
It’s a Donkey Kong game on the GBA system! Need we say
more? Ok, Donkey Kong is a Nintendo icon and a founding father
of one of the most successful gaming franchises of all time.
The new Donkey Kong Country is a great opportunity to swing
through an endless supply of cool settings as the big ape
himself. There is also a feature that allows you to switch
between Donkey and Diddy as you play.
Who’s Going To Love It
This is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a simple
but fun game for the GBA. Nintendo fans—there are a large
number of people who are loyal to the Nintendo Universe—will
love DK’s first GBA game.
As evidenced by the popularity of the classic Nintendo games,
re-launched for the eReader accessory (it plugs into the GBA
and you swipe cards to load the game into its memory), there
is a sizable population of kids and adults who love handhelds,
but who are looking for something simple that can be picked
up and put down relatively easily without disrupting the entertainment
value. These gamers will find this product particularly satisfying.
What To Be Aware Of
DK Country allows you to link up with another GBA system to
play new mini-games, like Funky’s Fishing and Candy’s
Dance Studio. GBA Link Cables are not included.
