The History of Donkey Kong 64 | VideoGameDocs

By 1996, Donkey Kong had become a household name once again with the Donkey Kong Country series of games. Releasing 3 games over 3 years, the Donkey Kong Country games pushed the limits of graphics technology on the SNES, and platformers themselves at the time of release. With the emergence of the 3D era and their experience with the Nintendo 64, Rare would release one more mainline Donkey Kong game before they were bought out by Microsoft in 2002, that game would be Donkey Kong 64. Today on VideoGameDocs we'll be taking a look at the development, release, reception and legacy of Donkey Kong 64 (1999) for the Nintendo 64.
