When I first saw this on Gamesmaster I thought I was seeing a game for Sonys new-fangled Playstation. And even if you are not a huge Gameboy fan you can still download the original SNES version from the Wii Virtual Console and truly bask in it's 16-bit brilliance. Only rivaled by it's own 16-bit counterpart on the SNES it is a game every Gameboy Colour owner should have in their collection. To conclude Donkey Kong Country on the Gameboy Colour is one of the finest gaming experiences for the handheld master. It is a truly brilliant experience and one of the best games ever on the Gameboy in my view.

The great music, the great graphics and the great controls are all present and correct just as good as the original. Donkey Kong Country did port brilliantly to the Gameboy Colour and had everything the original game had (with a few added extras in some cool minigames). Now, the thing what I wondered like a lot of other gamers when I bought it for the Gameboy Colour was 'how can you port the brilliance of Donkey Kong Country from the 16-Bit which it was made for onto the Gameboy Colour which it wasn't made for?' In a nutshell will it be good? And the answer to this question is a resounding…Yes. Well in the year 2000 gamers got their wish because that was when the original Donkey Kong Country went portable and was ported to the Gameboy Colour. Now imagine if you could play this masterpiece on the go, whenever you want. The second biggest selling SNES game of all-time, it is a platformer gamers dream. For me it set the standard in terms of games I would play thereafter and for me nothing ever has topped it (well apart from Diddy's Kong Quest but that's another story).Īnyway Donkey Kong Country is one of the most successful games of all-time. My first taste of SNES gaming came from Donkey Kong Country and even now every time I replay it over and over and over again I feel just like I did when I first played it.
