Donkey Kong ’94, a Game Boy title launched alongside Donkey Kong Country, is often overlooked despite being a standout in the series. Loosely based on the original 1981 arcade game and its sequel, Donkey Kong Jr., it was developed by Nintendo EAD and Pax Softnica, featuring enhanced visuals with the Super Game Boy.

Recently, a fan-made remaster called Donkey Kong DX has emerged, transforming the game into a Game Boy Color experience compatible with real hardware. Creator marc_max, with help from collaborators kensuyjin33 and Jorge2D, emphasizes the ambitious nature of this project, expressing gratitude for the community’s support throughout the development process.

Happy to be able to show off our very first Donkey Kong DX trailer after hundreds (or thousands already?) hours of work!
