Donkey Kong for the Gameboy has got to be the most criminally overlooked game in all of Nintendo's library. The platforming, level design, and controls in this game are absolutely amazing - and I have no idea where they came from. You look at the other stuff Nintendo was doing at that time period and there is nothing at all that hints that this was something they had cooking. So much work was put into this masterpiece.

Well the triple jump did make it into Super Mario 64 . And yeah this game is AMAZING, the best Donkey Kong game imo (in the original DK series of course, which includes all the Mario VS Donkey Kong games), and I really hope to see a sequel one day, cause the newer games in the series are more about strategy than platforming.

DK'94 would pretty easily make a personal top games of all time list, yeah. It's really good.

It is truly amazing. When my 12 year old brother in-law found a dusty copy in his attic (they have never owned a gameboy), he gave it to me and it blew my mind away.

Also, that same attic contained my personal copy of Pokemon Emerald for the GBA. This isn't an attic that is used for storage either. It is a crawl space filled with bats rats and poo. Spooky story for Halloween!

bats rats and poo

adding this to my personal list of potential song titles/band names/etc

AND THE POO CAME FROM NEITHER THE BATS NOR THE RATS

AND THE POO CAME FROM NEITHER THE BATS NOR THE RATS

We traced the poo! It is coming from INSIDE THE HOUSE!

It makes me laugh when I see a GotY edition of a game that no one (not even the designers of the game) consider it the game of the year that it came out.
