This game holds a place dear in my heart. Growing up we had a Nintendo 64, the clear green one that was bundled with the game. But at the same time my parents thought video games were bad so to prevent me from palying too much, it was the only game we had for years (apart from some NES games, eventually got two more 64 games). So I played the hell out of it. I lost count of how many times I did the 101% completion.

I used to go to that forest/mushroom level all the time and just shoot bad guys and play the Jetpack game. Kinda funny how when I was a kid I didn't really care about finishing stuff. If I reached a point that was too hard or intimidating I'd just go replay the fun stuff.
I only completed the game for the first time as a teenager (far from 100%). When I was younger I just cared about roaming around and explore as much as possible. I did not speak english so it was kind of hard to figure out what to do. But the game stuck so much with me that it's one I've replayed the most.

Donkey Kong!

Donkey Kong is here!
I honestly never thought they'd add this one. Partially because of Rare, but mostly because it's a little wild for Nintendo in some parts. I figured they wanted to leave this one in the vault forever. Glad they didn't, excited to play it again.
Maybe now I will get more then the 30 something golden bananas I was able to get as a kid.
TBH, if you're actually looking to replay it, I would recommend just getting an emulated version on PC with the added quality of life feature that lets you swap kongs at any time. The game is very tedious without it.
I'm a sicko. I need the original experience and if this means the game is to janky for me to enjoy then so be it.
At least here we can quick save and rewind? I forgot they added rewind to N64.
Do I need a subscription to play? Cuz that would be fucking dumb af
Better then having to pay 50 currencies for such an old game?
Do you also complain about Xbox game pass costing money? Or PS Plus?
Why do you people subscribe to Nintendo content just to hate on every post? Just unsubscribe or ignore then?
I want to play that game on my switch but im not signing onto a subscription to play one game... I would subscribe to any of those things you mentioned if I was going to use it.
Am I hating on every post? I made one comment dude. Leave me alone. I'm going through shit and I dont need someone on the internet pushing me closer to the edge.
