To be fair, the game is not entirely meritless. The 8-bit visuals hold up reasonably well, as do many of the better chiptune melodies. While the sense of speed is inferior to its forerunner, it at least seems to operate more smoothly. It’s regrettable that these details are pointless since...
For $0.30 Donkey Kong is a fun trip down nostalgia lane. Once the price bumps back up to the $6.50 or whatever Nintendo is charging for NES Virtual Console games in your region, it stops being worthwhile.
