NLife: "Donkey Kong Country is now two decades old Donkey Kong is Nintendo's first major star, having made his début in the arcade game that effectively turned the company into the global monster it is today. However, when Mario decided to become Super on the NES and take his place as Nintendo's number one mascot, DK was bumped down the pecking order and relegated to a secondary role until 1994, that is. UK studio Rare now part of the Microsoft family but back in the '90s a key Nintendo ally took the popular primate and gave him his own platforming adventure on the SNES. Donkey Kong Country was remarkable not only for the fact that it played brilliantly, but also because it used ground-breaking CGI visuals which looked leagues ahead of other 2D games on 16-bit consoles."

The Game Inquirer says: "Two Donkey Kong Country games finished and now we reach the final entry in the original trilogy. Donkey Kong Country 3: Double Trouble is uncharted territory for me so I decided to record my experience with the first world of the game. Is it a worthy successor to the original two? Was I missing out on this potential platforming classic?"

"Im sure fans of Rare and Donkey Kong are still very happy that all of the Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong Land games have been added to the Virtual Console for the 3DS and Wii U (respectively). However, Donkey Kong Land III was not the last Donkey Kong game made by Rare. Some people must already be wondering what will become of their next contribution to the series: Diddy Kong Racing. But is there any real chance that well get to see it again, in its original glory?" - Rice Digital

NLife: "There are few plaudits that haven't been directed at Shigeru Miyamoto, the key development figurehead at Nintendo throughout its history in the video game industry. From providing a breakthrough hit with the original Donkey Kong arcade to overseeing and directing multiple projects as an executive, his imprint defines Nintendo gaming culture. For those fearful of his eventual retirement, meanwhile, there are promising sings that Miyamoto-san and his colleagues have begun to foster a succession of talented young developers that are currently producing excellent, exciting titles on Wii U and 3DS."

Carl Williams writes, "That old adage, what is old is new again, is certainly true in the homebrew scene as old gaming properties are constantly seeing new light on platforms they may have missed from official channels. We have seen Mario jump to the Sega Genesis, unofficial sequels to The Lion King, Link from The Legend of Zelda venture on new adventures and more. Now, we can count another Nintendo homegrown classic that has been given the fan treatment- Donkey Kong Jr. There was never an official release of Donkey Kong Jr. for the Commodore 64 so you know a fan somewhere had to fix that."

NLife: "In 1997 the fifth generation of video games was well underway (even Europe and Oceania had the N64 by then), but the trusty Game Boy was still the place to go for portable gaming joy. Having successfully brought monkey platforming action to the handheld twice already, Rare produced a third game the imaginatively titled Donkey Kong Land III. This time players are given control of Dixie and Kiddie Kong as they attempt to locate the lost world."
