Downloading now, this very second! I have vague recollections of nearly completing my neighbour's copy of this when I was a kid, and from what I remember, I was hooked!

Looking forward to going through it again :) Anyone-else buying it?

I'm gonna buy it after I find an extra $3. Looks sweet.

I don't really give a damn anymore.

I wanted to buy it, but i am 2 pesos short, and i am not adding 60 pesos just to use 2.... At least to now.

So, i'll limit myself to read your impressions. For now...

Oh look! A Morphloggery. Oh, and a Morphsite too.

I bought it as soon as I saw it, I love Donkey Kong on the gameboy and can't believe this was Nintendo's next Virtual Console release.

I got it and am really enjoying it so far. I just wish they didn't force you to work through 4 levels of arcade Donkey Kong before getting the the Mario vs Donkey Kong-esque stuff. I really REALLY suck at arcade Donkey Kong so it was very frustrating to have to fight through that first. Other than that though, I really like it! A great addition to my 3DS Virtual Console collection!

It's really fun so far. I beat the first three levels, thought it was the end and that the game would repeat a'new like the old one but no! It was just the introduction! Can't wait to delve deeper into this! Glad I picked it up.

Just completed the first world! Very simplistic, but incredibly effective game which still plays very well today.

I like the beginning with the arcade sections, as it feels like a direct homage to what started it all off and then that transcends into a completely new game!

I gotta also mention how much I love the cut-scenes. They're incredible animated and come across as really humourous, which I think it is mighty impressive for a Game Boy game!

I don't like the parts where you have to place ladders and platforms. I'd have preferred it if it was straight up action.

Otherwise it's great though. I'm on world 2. :3

Fantastic. Nintendo has surprised me by starting with some of the greatest GB/C games in the first weeks.

Took a look at this game and it looks just like a Mario vs. Donkey Kong game with GB graphics, I was also expecting only the same stages as in NES version but this looks like it'd be pretty fun game. I'm going to buy this game when I just buy 3DS first.

I downloaded it this morning! I love it! I'm already half way through world 3! I checked my activity log and it says my average play time is 42 minutes. It's just so fun and charming I don't want to put it down. I love the level design. I already got stuck on a few levels, but I was able to beat them.

Handstands, backflips and charged jumps make the first four stages really easy.

Yeah, those moves would make the first few stages easier. Too bad I didn't know about them when I first started :P

Such an awesome game, immediately d/L'd.

Just one question — Great DK game or GREATEST DK game? :D

She-Ra is awesome. If you believe otherwise, you are clearly wrong.
Lindsey Stirling is as awesome as She-Ra. Perhaps even more so.

Is it me or is it really easy to gain lives on this game? I've just entered World 4, and I've got about 50+!
