It's #VGMWednesday, so here's my favorite Donkey Kong Country song out of any I've heard (and one of my top favorite pieces of music in any video game, EVER) - a fully restored version of 'Mining Melancholy'. Check out those choral voices!
This trilogy of "GAME BOY ESSENTIALS" books collect articles from gameboyessentials.com
Ranging from seminal classics to forgotten titles; they offer in-depth analyses of the good and bad games you should play to understand the universal appeal of the #GameBoy.
The GameBoy had some amazing games. 🥰
I wasn't quite ready to let this system go, after speeding through Mario Land 2. So I played SML 1 too (first try, no savestates, 35 minutes) and I'm now replaying #DonkeyKong. I forgot how clever the game is at showing what you can do and how it keeps adding new things all the way until the end. I'm now at the second to last stage and I still haven't reached the "let's get this over with" state. 😁 #ShareYourGames
Switch between 5 kongs over several courses and save the DK Isles from obliteration
Guns, special moves, musical instruments, banana fairies, blueprints... (exhales)
Don't forget your expansion pak which comes bundled with the box. From the DK Rap intro, to the agonizing minigame challenges There might be one more multi-colored coin to find...
Schade, aber - Stand jetzt - der letzte alte Arcade-Klassiker als Brettspiel aus dem Hause MB Spiele. Nach Berzerk, Frogger und Pac-Man nun Donkey Kong. Ich kenne nur noch ein weiteres aus dieser Reihe, das ist in Europa aber nie veröffentlicht worden: Defender. Und wenn ich mir das aus den USA schicken lasse, kostet es ein kleines Vermögen. 😉
Most of my gaming time recently has been spent shiny hunting in Pokémon Scarlet with my eldest which has been a lot of fun (pics of my shinies to come).
Tonight I went for a change of pace and have been playing Mario VS Donkey Kong on the Switch. It's been so long since I played it on the GBA it's all new to me again. Its slower pace is just what I needed, and not too challenging on the old brain 😅 #Nintendo#NintendoSwitch#Mario#DonkeyKong#ShareYourGames
Another journey with the Kongs. Cranky thinks you got off your first adventure too easy so he made a deal with K.Rool to abscond with your banana horde again, you know before DKC2 supposedly.
You can only save your game after you get all KONG letters in a level. Oddly this only of the DK Land games to you give you completely different environments in addition the old ones.

The arcade hit turned into a puzzling platforming adventure
Donkey Kong kidnaps Pauline one last time and Mario traverses a number of locations to get there. Find the key and open the door but is it always that simple?
This game introduced Mario's acrobatic abilities that were known more for being in Mario 64. This game also makes the best use out of the Super Game Boy's functionality.
The Joystick Jazz album art just got judged a SILVER AWARD in this year's Illustration West competition. This is fantastic news! Thank you, judges. Thank you, Society of Illustrators of LA. Thank you, Blueshift Big Band. And a huge thank you to iam8bit for continuing to just let me play!
