Now THIS is what I'm talking about.

 

More levels for the classic arcade games.

 

No messing around with updating the graphics and sound -- just more screens to work through.

 

Simple and totally awesome!

I just got a chance to play this at the recent Texas Pinball festival. If I knew about the remix, I'd forgotten. It was awesome, they had an entire dedicated cab with Jr and the Remix. It was a (video game) highlight of the show for me.

I played this at Arcade Expo yesterday. Its pretty fun but really hard.

I hope someone has this at MIdwest Gaming Classic!

I purchase this kit for my arcade machine, when it was first available. Unlike DK Remix, I found this extremely difficult at first. I was afraid I wouldn't like it as much.

Both DK and DK Junior seem to be too challenging for the casual holiday family guest.

 

After playing DK Remix some more, I found my groove. It's not as hard as the initial shock. Once I realized how some of the enemies operate.

On some of the newer levels, the blue snapjaws will come back up, out of the water. At first, I thought they were just randomly popping up.

 

After that realization, among others, it started to make sense.

 

I can see where this would be crazy for casual players.

 

On a similar line of thought, Popeye doesn't get a lot of love from my guests. I think they are confused that they can't punch Brutus, and there isn't a jump. Those two things throw people off.

Sad!
