Should this be merged with the normal Donkey Kong Jr. article? As far as I see it the gameplay and plot are virtually identical (save Donkey Kong by climbing up the screen and unlocking the cage), so why are the articles seperate? We could easily desribe this Game & Watch off-shoot in a section of the normal DK Jr. article and it'd make navigation easier too. Plus this is a stub, and stubs are bad. - Walkazo
I did my best to beef up the article, but I don't think it should be merged. It would create some confusion with the other Game & Watch games, and the games are actually much more different than most people give them credit for, especially the Modern version. Of course, I'm new to this, so your call, but that's what I think.- Goombachi
"Donkey Kong Jr. is the Game & Watch edition of Donkey Kong Jr."[edit]
Doesn't this sentence sound awkward to read? Should it be something like "This version of Donkey Kong Jr. is the Game & Watch edition of the arcade game Donkey Kong Jr."? ThePokémonGamer (talk) 10:38, 11 August 2018 (EDT)
Split?[edit]
The 1982 New Wide Screen version (and its remakes/reissues) is very different from the 1983 Table Top / Panorama Screen version. The gameplay is entirely dissimilar. Compare this to Mario's Cement Factory, where the only difference is the removal of one safe space when its NWS version came out or the SMB G&W revisions which had improved visuals and sound effects but no change in gameplay. It should be split into Donkey Kong Jr. (New Wide Screen) and Donkey Kong Jr. (Table Top / Panorama Screen) or simply Donkey Kong Jr. (Table Top) since it came first.--Platform (talk) 09:45, December 30, 2024 (EST)
