You're not missing much if you've already played the Nintendo Entertainment System version of Donkey Kong via Nintendo Switch Online.
This arcade port of the original game is quite a bit more difficult, and doesn't really have more to offer. All three stages are found in both games. The graphics and music are pretty close. But the arcade version, engineered to eat quarters, is frustratingly difficult even early on.
Stick with the NES version, unless you really want to experience the arcade game in its purest and toughest form.
