The NES version of Donkey Kong 3 was released on the Wii Virtual Console, 3DS Virtual Console and Wii U Virtual Console, whilst the arcade version was released on the Nintendo Switch eShop as part of Hamster's Arcade Archives series.
A version of this game was included in Game & Watch Gallery 4 for the Game Boy Advance, but featuring Mario in place of Stanley and a Boo and a Fireball in place of the bees. On one player mode, the higher player one as Stanley scores, the faster the spraying liquid on the side of computer player as Donkey Kong drops. Players can only hold up to three amounts of spraying liquid in their spray cans.
In this version, player one controls Stanley the Bugman and computer player (or player two) controls Donkey Kong in a duel against each other using exterminating spray cans to move the bees to the other side of them to make the bees sting their opponents.

series Game & Watch version of the arcade game has different gameplay. IGN gave the Virtual Console version a 6.0 out of 10, describing it as a "radical departure" from the previous Donkey Kong games, calling it "repetitive". Retrospectively, reception has been divisive, with criticism aimed at its departure of its predecessors and the lack of Mario. Computer and Video Games said that the game's "fast action and superior sound effects" made Donkey Kong 3 a "sure hit" in arcades. Gene Lewin of Play Meter magazine rated it 8 out of 10. Reviews for the arcade game were generally positive. Despite this, it was a commercial failure in North America, particularly due to the wake of the video game crash of 1983.
The game was moderately successful in Japan, where Game Machine listed Donkey Kong 3 on their December 1, 1983, issue as being the fourth most-successful new table arcade unit of the month. Stanley saves the flowers by spraying bug spray on Donkey Kong. Donkey Kong has taken refuge in his greenhouse and it is now up to Stanley to stop the ape from stirring up any more insects that will soon destroy his flowers. An extra life is given at 50,000 points, and then the game goes to "survival of the fittest" mode thereafter. There are three levels which repeat in a fixed sequence. Lost flowers decrease the bonus at the end of the round. Some of the flying insects attempt to pick up the flowers at the bottom of the screen and carry them away. The insects consist of Buzzbees, queen Beespies (which shatter into deadly pieces when destroyed), Creepy inchworms, Attacker bees, Kabutomushi beetles, and Butterflies. It only spawns at the start of each life. The Super Sprayer only lasts for a limited amount of time, but it pushes Donkey Kong upward at a much faster rate, making it easier to complete the level. A Super Sprayer can on the vines falls down when Donkey Kong is sprayed past it. A level is completed by continually using his sprayer on Donkey Kong, forcing him to the top of the screen, or by killing all of the bugs. Stanley can fire bug spray at both Donkey Kong and insects flying around the levels. To me a no go, even though the game is a classic and you should try it out anyways.Donkey Kong hangs from vines at the center of the screen, and the player-controlled Stanley the exterminator runs and jumps on platforms beneath him. I am not the biggest fan of brawler games in general and to play them for highscores. I tried it out and it plays solid, wasn't that bad and can't tell more. The underlying game is a traditional vertical shmup.
You have to shoot Donkey Kong, so he climbs up to the honey and at the same time shoot the bees coming after you.ĭefinetely one of those wtf titles. I never played this before and ignored it so far, because its the black sheep in Nintendo games to me. The first game in the genre defining DoDonPachi series from Cave with a strong focus of highscore mechanics and a damn solid overall design.Īn oldschool Nintendo game! This time in a shmup like event. I am not sure how good the score mechanics are in this game and if I want to play it with highscores in mind. Just put four elements of the same color to dissolve them. One of the most well known match block game series ever, even as a rebrand on different consoles. To me this is an easy vote, as I have a hang to shmups and DonPachi is one of the best of its kinds. :D Such a good selection of so many classics.
