Know its probably been asked before. probably a heated debate. But what the heck. Didnt find it via search.

Your choice - DK or DK Jr? Why? Add up your points for sentimental, story, graphics, sound, game play, etc and come up with your own conclusion.

Mine is DK Jr.

Why? I remember clearly the first time i saw Junior cab - around 7 years old and blown away by it. Like the cab graphics better.

Cuter and more cartoony game, seems like more to do - creative level design, underdog character (more so than mario since he is just a baby). A bit harder than DK. Played a ton of it on Coleco Vision which had a flawless rendition. Not as played out as DK (although pretty common, DKs were in every Pizzeria and jr. was not)

Better storyline and plot - save your dad from the evil Mario. The Monkey takes girl was just unoriginal.

Not one of my favs of all time, but the game certainly has a place in our hearts.
 
....A bit harder than DK.

DKjr is much more patternable (is that a word?) than DK so I would say DK is more difficult.

I personally like DK better because the game is at a much more hectic pace than DKjr. To point press DKjr you have to have extreme patience to sit there and jump those sparks.

I enjoy both but like DK better.

Just FYI my high in DK is in the 700k range and my high in DKjr is in the 400k range.
 
Yes, this has come up at least twice this year.

I'm with Lutus. I really like both, but I give a slight edge to DK because there's a lot of waiting in DK Jr. Sometimes I feel like I spend the whole game waiting for a snapjaw to go down the vine so I can hit multiples. The closest thing to that in DK is jumping by Kongs foot, but it seems more pronounced in DK Jr.
 
I like DKJR Better then DK . I love both games I'm a 640k DKJR Player. 220k DK Player.

I agree there is more too Patterens with the DKJR that's what i love about the game.

More too the point pressing and combo's with DKJR.
 
DKJR all the way.

I just seem to prefer the gameplay over DK.
 
Asking me this question is like asking to decide between your kids. I'm partial to DK because of childhood memories. Junior is more challenging (at least for me) and that keeps me coming back more and more to play it.
 
No question whatsoever that DK is way better. I was never a fan of Jr. I remember waiting in line BITD to play a DK. That never happened with Jr.
 
How do ya like dem apples?

I'm currently getting hooked on D2K. I just broke 70k last night (playing with 3 men because I refuse to believe any Nintendo game would give you 6). I made it all the way to level 3-1 without losing a man and then the double fireballs killed me 3 times in a row. I'm starting to advance pretty quick though. It was kind of hard to figure out the Mixer level but once I figured out where and when to jump it got easier.
