IGN: Donkey Kong 3 Review

Fans of arcade shooters like Galaga should be the first to consider the 500 Wii Point investment that it would take to download Donkey Kong 3, as, though it’s part of the original DK series, it plays more similarly to the alien-invading blaster designs of the early ’80s. This VC download is also a more compelling digital purchase than the Virtual Console versions of the first Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr., as well, because it’s a more replayable design and didn’t lose any content in its transition from the arcade to the NES.
