I played DK ‘94 on the super game boy back in the day. It was beautiful, with upgraded sound…doesn’t look like there’s a SGB emulator on the switch, sadly.

I love DK ‘94

Mario's Picross is maybe my favorite picross title hehehe

grackleking64.bsky.social•2 days ago

Really? Out of all of them? :0 what do you like most about it?

oxnard.bsky.social•2 days ago

I just love Picross and got addicted to it, and compared to Pokemon or Game & Watch Gallery it's one I'd love to play for hours and hours again.

PEAK! I love DK '94.

justus61.bsky.social•2 days ago

DK 94? That’s what I needed.

Though unfortunately the game has no GBC mode. At least not a real one.

Oh wow Game Boy Donkey Kong?! I haven't played that in a LONG time!

Peak is now available

Donkey Kong for Gameboy is an absolute gem I hadn't seen a lot of people talk about before playing it myself. I went into it blind and expected it to be just like the arcade one. Can't wait for others to have fun with it as well <3

Are these the games for Mario day or will there be more? Specially, for the 40th anniversary.

razzberrypie.bsky.social•1 day ago

These are the games for MAR10 Day: https://www.nintendo.com/us/whatsnew/wahoo-jump-into-the-latest-update-for-the-game-boy-library/

The 40th anniversary celebration is most likely a different event happening later (like with the 35th in 2020)

grackleking64.bsky.social•2 days ago

Good question. These seem pretty Mario-focused, I’m guessing that they originally were part of the MAR10 Day festivities, but they broke that off for some reason?

Donkey Kong for the Gameboy is a BANGER! Maybe one of the best on that handheld. 🙂

Cool. Wasn’t expecting DK 94

nyovyo.com•2 days ago

this leaves DK 64 as the only Donkey Kong game we don't have yet on Switch. I've heard nothing but good things about DK '94, excited to try it

tinykong.bsky.social•2 days ago

well don't you forget about jungle beat, or king of swing, or jungle climber, or konga, or barrel blast, or

lyokoby.bsky.social•2 days ago

They could still add the GBA DKC trilogy and the GBC demake/ port of DKC 1 before DK64 🫠

justus61.bsky.social•2 days ago

DK64 has an official 16:9 mode, right? I guess the only bummer would be NSO resolution and having to play them in their original framerate with minor input delay.

lyokoby.bsky.social•2 days ago

It does! Though the 2D UI elements will be stretched as is the case with all N64 widescreen games.

justus61.bsky.social•2 days ago

I know it’s an unpopular opinion but I really don’t care much about stretching if it means I can play a game in 16:9. Don’t have much of an issue stretching GB or SNES games. Wish Nintendo at least had that option inside NSO. At least for N64 games.

fercho-27.bsky.social•2 days ago

Or Diddy Kong Racing!

If we’re lucky…
