The leader of the Kong bunch: A Donkey Kong retrospective
In the course of my chronological console library video projects, there are certain Big Ones: Games that carry considerable weight, whether that's historic or merely psychological. This week's Good Nintentions tackles a game that possesses both kinds of weight: The original Donkey Kong.
This video is ostensibly about the NES version of the game, but in practice I barely even touch on that adaptation. There's a great deal to be said about Donkey Kong, and I tried to say as much as I could here. The NES version analysis will have to wait until next week's episode, I'm afraid.
I've written quite a lot about Donkey Kong over the years, and I'm perfectly happy to make this video retrospective a sort of final statement on the subject. It probably won't be, but it could be, is what I'm saying. Anyway, please enjoy.
