Donkey Kong

In this video, we play Donkey Kong from the original Nintendo Game and Watch series, faithfully recreated using MiSTer FPGA hardware. This version captures the look, timing, and gameplay behavior of the original LCD handheld classic through accurate FPGA implementation rather than software emulation.

The Game and Watch line helped define portable gaming in the early 1980s, and Donkey Kong remains one of the most iconic entries ever released. Using MiSTer FPGA allows this recreation to run with cycle-accurate behavior, preserving the authentic experience that made the original hardware legendary.

This video features full gameplay with live commentary, focusing on mechanics, difficulty, and how closely this recreation matches the original Game and Watch release. If you enjoy classic Nintendo history, FPGA gaming, or rare retro hardware brought back to life, this channel is for you.
