got it through club nintendo. Looking good. My first VC title for 3DS. Still not sure if I prefer the small screen with gameboy border, in green or in black.

It's a very cool option to have, but I have a hard time playing VC games with the Game Boy border on. It just makes the screen too tiny for me.

@RevolverLink, why do you say that, is it possible to play GB VC titles without the border present? I'm FINALLY about to receive a 3DS of my own soon, so I know nothing about these options.

I have enough coins left in my Club Nintendo account, so should this game definitely be an automatic download for me?

The default resolution fills the screen and looks sightly blurry, by pressing select while starting the game you can play it in 1:1 resolution, the GB border fills the screen in that mode, but it looks awfully small. Some like it, though.

I am seriously thinking about downloading this game from Club Nintendo today. Is it as good as the Mario Vs. Donkey Kong series?? Maybe a little more simple??

I like it better than the first MvsDK. They use pretty much the same engine on both games, but this one just feels better.

It's approximately six hundred trillion times better.

Cool. Will be downloading this finally. Sounds like a not very well known gem.

Nope. Its a very well known game and widely acknowledged as one of the best on the GB.

I like it with the Game Boy border, I can't stand the blurriness in the other resolution. -.-

Same here, I love the classic border mode. It's like I'm holding a miniature Game Boy in my hands... very nostalgic.

I don't really mind the slight upscale blurring. Any way you choose to play it, this is a must have game. This type of simple but enjoyable gameplay is the very definition of retro gaming at it's best. If you have 100 Club Nintendo coins but don't have this game yet, you should've already had 100 less coins in your account by now. Seriously, it's one of the very best Gameboy games I've ever played. And I grew up with the Gameboy, so that's saying something.

How on earth do you get the Game Boy border? I can only turn the screen pea green. I've been trying to figure this out since I got my 3DS last year.

While the game is starting up (ie. after you've clicked Open) hold down EITHER Start or Select until the game starts up. If done correctly you will see the GB border with the screen at its original size. You can also use 3D to make the screen sink into the GB border, which is a nice touch.

I make Pixel Art on occasion.

@Emaan1, you can also change the tint of the display to the orignial Gameboy contrast, by pushing the, "Y," button. I never had the original green screen Gameboy, so it holds no nostalgia for me. I actually won my Gameboy in a prize drawing that was on the back of a box of cereal, in the early 90's. :D

Edit: Oops... I didn't read the previous post, nevermind.

@G4L, Yeah I like the Black + White screen better than the green. I also never had a green screen Game Boy so I don't see the point.

I'm glad I got this gem of a game though! If I hadn't gotten it from Club Nintendo, I probably wouldn't have ever bought it. :p

So where's everyone at in the game? I'm in Stage 4 : Jungle

I pray with the green screen, never owned a Gameboy. Just a Gameboy Pocket.

Wish the game would display in its SGB mode, along with the optional border, & SGB enhanced sound. Pauline screams "help", replaced by a GB sound squeal.

Yeah, DK '94 was something I'd been on the fence on for a while, so 100 CN coins was the perfect excuse to give a try and I'm so glad I did. I'm not even done (I'm in the Stage 8 now, the Iceberg area), and it's already one of my favorite GB/C games.
