I think I’ve heard you mimic that call, and I just assumed you were making bird noises. The sample of Daisy yelling “help!” Sounds a lot like a peacock. It’s funny that you told the story about your being grounded every year after your birthday just yesterday I re-listened the Super Adventure Island and Mega Drive Medley episodes, and on one of those you told that same story the first time on the show. western without arpeggios), with its repetitive beat and counter melodies, and loooong guitar solo. It all had that TG-16-esque sawtooth bass that I’m kinda ambivalent about, but all the music was at least decent, and some of the tracks were really good! Especially “Big Battle”, which sounded American(i.e. I’m also really interested in who composed the music. So which dev house made this game? If it had Mario 64-style moves, I would either assume Miyamoto was involved in it, or really saw potential in Mario’s move set. Watching a few YouTube clips set me straight….man, as much as I hate playing Gameboy games, this looks like a must-play!

But wait, this is an amazing Gameboy game from Nintendo? Wha?” Then, when I wasn’t able to download the episode from iTunes, my suspicion was that it was a botched April Fools joke. My first thought was, “DK 94? He must mean DKC. This is the FM Synth version of one of the random battle tracks:īoth versions of the soundtrack maintain that level of quality and I still cant decide on which is better.Īpril Fools! Seriously, I had NEVER heard of this game before this episode posted(exposing my only 8/16-bit knowledge gap: handhelds). Its a 3DS remake of the original DS version and has an option to switch between an uncompressed version of the Genesissy Yuzo Koshiro soundtrack or a brand new orchestral version. DK94 is one of my favorite ever games as well to this day there still aren’t many games that grant you that level of mobility and every follow up to DK94 felt like I had to put up with artificial limitations on the move set and they just weren’t as fun because of it.Īlso the soundtrack was really good and had a few neat aspects: when you beat the game on the Super Game Boy, the ending credits theme actually gets upgraded to SNES quality sound, complete with strings:Īlso, you should totally check out the Jeremy Parish approved Etrian Odyssey Untold soundtrack. Highly recommended, especially the Puzzle Palace mode. It ditches the platforming for a smooth, creamy mixture of Lemmings, Tetris, and Pipe Dream.
#DONKEYKONG 94 SERIES#
I think the series lost a lot of people as it leaned ever more heavily on the Minis, but there is one game that is unequivocally worth checking out-Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move, which came out on the 3DS eShop in 2013. In MvDK, if you wanted to get a 3-star grade on a level, you had to collect the blue, yellow, and red bubbles and complete the stage by a certain time, and in games where I’m graded on a level-by-level basis, it’s very difficult for me to move on from a level having not aced it, so the momentum that builds when you just run level to level gets lost.
You didn’t HAVE to get the parasol, hat, and purse to earn three stars or an S grade or whatever the only competitive element was against yourself, to finish levels faster or self-impose arbitrary challenges. Donkey Kong was a failure largely because they made the trinket collection compulsory.
Sad that Taisuke Araki didn’t do much VGM work, he had real chops. Say what you want about the “relative capabilities” of the Game Boy, but “Showdown at the Tower” is metal as fuck, better than the final boss theme even. I’ll have one good afternoon with this probably.” And then of course, the famous misdirect, and I was all in. I got Donkey Kong for Christmas from my grandparents and was like, “Great, cool. But for some reason, I was allowed to own a Game Boy.

I had obsession and rage issues with video games as a kid that my parents didn’t like, so after a couple of botched runs with the NES and the Genesis, they didn’t let me own consoles. Donkey Kong ’94 is one of my all-time favorites, top five for sure, and I was absolutely floored when it made the VGA list.
