Fastest way to unlock arcade Donkey Kong in DK64?
<< < (2/2)

Yeah, it's closest to the arcade and I just want to play it on Wii U. I used to work in a used game store and I copied a completed save from a used cartridge we had there using a GameShark, but like I said, I just wanna play the arcade game on my Wii U/ GamePad.

I've always thought it's crazy that Nintendo has never released a direct arcade port of DK, considering it's the game that put Nintendo on the map and introduced two of it's most famous characters.

I think I remember reading somewhere that Nintendo outsourced the coding of the original arcade game, and because of that, Nintendo doesn't actually own the code to the arcade game, even though they own the game itself.

It's too bad, because the NES port, which is what Nintendo always re-releases, is missing an entire level and is far from arcade perfect.  DK Junior is a much better port.

As for me, I play the arcade version on CoinOps on my Xbox.  Hope you find a way to play the DK64 version - playing on a WiiU game pad would be pretty sweet.
