on gay boy advance i presume?


unfortunately, as it was my only option aside from purchasing a super nintendo (lol)

though they're apparently true enough to the originals, so no major loss there hopefully

[spoiler]

i was also going to buy metroid zero mission and fusion along with them, but somebody had snagged the last reasonably priced copy of zero mission in the time between me adding it to my cart and confirming the purchase :'([/spoiler]

You're expected to purchase upcoming products, I hope you know.

And I certainly also hope this hasn't affected funds for it. awdood;

iirc the gba version of dkc2 is even more complete since they could add a boss they didn't have room for in the original

yes, it adds Kerozene

there are some other very small changes (like cranky talking to the kongs after every boss fight, and some new swanky quiz questions) and the graphics are slightly more washed-out and less-detailed, and i think the sound quality might be slightly less too

it's a fair trade-off i think lol

the grfx are supposed to be about identical but brighter (to compensate for the original gba's lack of backlighting), but yeah as is the case with all snes to gba ports, the sound quality is reduced

the snes's sound chip truly was a technical marvel in its time :'(

the dkc3 port's soundtrack is entirely different

they don't even share the same composer, the snes version is eveline fischer's work while david wise returned for the gba port

I never realized how cheap sounding the GBA's sound chip was.

Glad I played ALttP's SNES version and not the GBA.  hocuspocus;
