Donkey Kong Country....on NES.
Uploaded by: MegaMan52
Video Description:
This is a rare pirate game from a company called "Hummer Team", released in 1997.
Despite the title (Donkey Kong Country 4), this game is actually the first Donkey Kong Country translated to the NES. In the video, I show what it's like on the NES.
The music and sound effects are direct translations of the original (taken from the SNES version, reduced sound quality to become possible on the NES), so at least a few things should be familiar. The graphics, while no where near as detailed as the SNES version, look great for an NES game and pretty much max out the systems' graphics capabilities.
Aside from the obvious, here's some other differences:
-Passwords replace save files
-You start out with 25 lives instead of just 5
-There are no map screens, except for the one that shows the entire DK island
-Because there are no "area" map screens, you automatically begin the next level after finishing a level
-Boss music speeds up every time a boss is hit
-Diddy has DK's strength, so enemies that required 2 hits when using Diddy just require 1 like DK. Also, because of this, aside from their looks and signature moves they're identical (jump the same height, run the same speed, have the same strength)
-A lot of levels are missing! For example, the jungle (first) area only has 4 levels (including the boss battle)
-The water levels are significantly shorter. The first one, for example, only includes about 25% of the level from the SNES version.
-No bonus levels
-Funky and Candy are no where to be found, so no flights or save points (no save points makes sense, since the game uses password saves instead)
-Rambi, Enguard, Winky, Expresso, and Squawks (the animal helpers) are also missing
-Though he does make an appearance in the intro, Cranky doesn't appear anywhere else in the NES version so Cranky's Cabin is removed
-Original ending has been removed
Enjoy! :)

Also, it doesn't look half bad as a nes game, SNES is better though.
pictures or it didnt happen.
Nah I'll take your word for it.
Must have been created a lot later than original NES games... maybe the scripting was more advanced to accomodate the shading and 3D sprites.
The best NES GAME with BEST GRAFIX is KIRBY HANDS DOWN i used to love that DREAMLAND shit!!! Beter than GB ver
They didn't.
"Were they planing a NES relase?"
No. A pirate company named Hummer Team brought the game to the NES in 1997, without Nintendo and Rare's permission. Despite being unofficial, it's still interesting to see what it's like in NES form.
Did u ever own the NES? Haha that shit wud be annoyin sometimes when games wud freeze or not load at all(i still remember the dreaded blinking screen) Rare tho the Kirby game i had almost always loaded fine. Duck hunt was cool Did u play it?
"Did the company(or org.) ever xplain what they did it for?"
One person probably had the idea and he/she probably explained why he/she wanted to bring it to the NES to the staff, but why they did it was probably never revealed to the public.
"Doesnt seem to have copyright on start screen"
Actually, there's a screen that comes up when you start the game that says "© 1997 Hummer Team".
