50 Shades of Grayscale: Let's Play 50 Game Boy Games!

Donkey Kong

Here we are, folks: game number 30! An all time heavyweight of the Game Boy library, there’s so much junk in this trunk that we gotta block it out into multiple parts! That being said, for how big a game this is, and it being a first party release from Shigeru Miyamoto’s team, there’s shockingly little info about its production. The team started a project with the working title of Donkey Kong '94, and proceeded to follow through with one of the all time greatest Game Boy games of all time and a powerful demonstration of what the Super Game Boy could do.

There is, as I discovered too late, art for all the enemies posted out there. Our questions on what a BauBau is have truly already been answered! I am currently wrestling myself on the prospect of going back and reuploading this video with everything edited in. Who knows!

Anyways, there’s also this fuckin CHOICE art for the Japanese strategy guide of the game, so please enjoy it in all of its glory. It’s…a lot.
