The text "CO.,LTD." was removed, and "MADE IN JAPAN" was moved over one space. The copyright date adds "-2010", with "1981" changed to "1983" as that was when the Famicom version was released.
Shortly after the game's release, the ROM was extracted from its WAD container and distributed online, at which point it was discovered that Original Edition is nothing more than a hack of the original retail ROM.and a rather sloppy one at that. This new version also received an official release on the 3DS in the United States during the last few months of 2012, via a limited-time Club Nintendo promotion. In Europe, this came with a modified Virtual Console version of Donkey Kong pre-installed that follows the arcade version more closely (rather than, you know, actually releasing the arcade version, which was in copyright limbo at the time). To commemorate the 25th Anniversary of Super Mario Bros., a limited-edition red Wii was released. The controls have been slightly modified so the player can press Up and Down to switch between options at the title screen. In the more common Revision 1 version, the controller reading code was improved so that the first direction pressed has priority: if the D-Pad is rolled from Up/Down to diagonal Mario will not start walking, but if the D-Pad is rolled from Left/Right to diagonal he will not stop walking. And that was enough to doom it to obscurity (and essentially kill the franchise, save the Donkey Kong Game Boy game and later Donkey Kong Country games).In the original Revision 0 version, Mario cannot move at all when the D-Pad is held diagonally. Point being, it plays clunky, feels unfair, and isn’t at all like the previous two games. Most of my deaths felt cheap or unavoidable, whereas in the previous two games I knew my deaths were always my own fault. Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr.‘s movement and platforming feel archaic compared to modern games, but it was clear the game was built and balanced around that.
And lastly, the game’s clunky controls don’t work in it’s favor at all. Third, your weapon sucks, and having to constantly fight a war of attrition with an ever-lowering DK only makes this all the more evident. Their patterns are only somewhat predictable, unlike most shooting games like Galaga where you can learn the patterns easily, and they’re such small targets they can be hard to hit. First, it isn’t a platformer, and while it’s a decent enough shooter the risk probably pushed most die-hard players away. There are multiple problems with Donkey Kong 3 that made it far less memorable than it’s predecessors. Stanley, played by Nicholas Cage, in the film adaptation of DK3.
