Taking control of that most famous of Nintendo icons, er. purely for how it diverges from its predecessors in intriguing ways. If push came to shove, we'd personally prefer to sit down with Donkey Kong 3 over Donkey Kong Jr. Release Date: 5th Apr 2019 ( USA) / 5th Apr 2019 ( UK/EU) It's about time we ranked every Donkey Kong game from best to worst, then! Or, more accurately, from worst to best. From 1981's original Donkey Kong up to the Switch port of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, the ape and his clan have consistently featured in Nintendo games for 40 years now. It's easy to forget just how many games Mario's erstwhile nemesis has to his name. The ape's original game not only conquered the arcade and introduced the world to the character who would become Nintendo's mascot, it also saved the company and put it on the path to becoming the huge global concern and cultural icon it is today. While Mario is the undisputed man when it comes to all things Nintendo, let it never be forgotten that it was Donkey Kong who gave the plumber a leg-up in the world of video games. With rumours of a new DK game and an animation project in the works, we're bracing ourselves for an outbreak of DK fever any day now, and to celebrate four decades of Donkey we're republishing our ranked list of his entire library of classics. 9th July 2021 marks 40 years exactly since the original Donkey Kong debuted in arcades and the world got its first look at the eponymous ape and his adversary, Jumpman (whatever happened to him?).
