This is extremely impressive. They did a great job with the graphics, it almost doesn't even look like an NES game, and the sound isn't too bad, either. If only the NES had a couple more channels to work with.
CrazyRiverOtter They are the ones who also ported Super Mario World and Sonic the Hedgehog (knon as Somari) to the NES. To be honest, I think both are pretty impressive. Although Sonic & SMW's music and physics could need some improvement, I still find it cool.
Very impressive port, considering it is a pirate game. It feels and look very closely to the SNES game. Shows how NES was a good platform for inspired developers. Thanxx for the video.
Most of the limits on the NES were caused by limited cart space. The best pirated games take advantage of the fact memory is a lot cheaper now to create games that would have been impossible during the NES's lifetime. It's why pirate Final Fight 3 is superior to the official release of Mighty Final Fight. The other trick is using pre-rendered shadows to make these 3 color and a transparency sprites* look far more detailed than they really are. Nobody could afford to do that back then, either.
When I was a kid I remember seeing on a Honey Nut Cheerios box when Donkey Kong came out that it was going to be for NES and SNES. I've been in search for the NES version ever since.
from an entire ocean of bad NES pirate games, hummer was probably the best not official game developer of NES games. Heck, some of their games are far better than mostly of the NES' official licenced games XD
The music is alright IMO, it could be a bit longer, but it's not bad at all. Quite good for NES actually. I agree the game could do with some polishing though.
Check the kong's colors, Only three: Black, red, and "flesh". Besides both heroes are not displayed at once, because that would be too much for the NES memory, while it has to handle the enemies and other items as well.
Hummer team is so good that they may aswell be considered official at this point. Hell they even got bettter sprite work than the dkl games on game boy (on the water atleast).
It's too bad they didn't release something like this or the DKL games on the NES as a farewell release. Whether one likes it or not, the system is one of, if not thee most historically significant "game" changing systems ever. This would've been a far better swan song than the stinker known as Wario's Woods.
So, I had Donkey Kong Land on game boy. I always thought, "if they could do this on a handheld I bet they could do a version of it on the NES." Here we are!
I even recognized every single level shown. In order they're Jungle Hijinx, Coral Capers, Winky's Walkway, Really Gnawty, Oil Drum Alley, Barrel Cannon Canyon, Bouncy Bonanza, and Necky's Nuts
Im from Argentina, and I remember that i bought this game when i was little, but I don't know if it was my NES or the game that came so broken (maybe the NES that I own can't stand this kind of game), that when I picked up a barrel, the games just crashes. For that reaseon, when level 4 starts, it glitch out and crash.
@@ivanivan3426 kek the way you put it, yeah it probably couldn't. I actually looked up the Family Game and it's apparently a clone of the Dendy, you know the most influential famiclone in gaming history, the one that was so popular is made nintendo officially support russian consumers? Yeah, unlike the Dendy though, which was a fairly competent clone the family game apparently has many issues with graphics and sound. It's got the same shell as a dendy except the controllers look different, having a shield pad rather than a D-Pad, kinda like a Genesis controller's. Basically the entire thing is a mess, and quirks like this are what make bootleg history so interesting.
@@Densester Wow, really interesting to know this. When i was a kid, i had no idea, i just tested like 3 cartridges of this game and none of them worked fine. Sometimes, in the water level, i got to break a barrel and not freeze the game, but became very glitchy and slow gameplay (sorry for my english). Then I returned it because couldn't pass through level 4, than it starts with breaking a barrel. So, i couldn't ever play with Diddy Kong as a kid. In my country it was very common to have these family clones and not the original one, there were a lot of family versions. Yesterday i checked my old stuff, and i found a cartridge with 4 Mario games in it, Mario 6, 9, 16, 24. Bootlegs were very common in my country
@@ivanivan3426 No problem, it's nice to talk about bootleg video games, it gives inside as to what other people grew up with, that's personally the appeal for me.
I was skeptical at first but if you watch carefully you can see NES's iconic solution to sprite limitations: flashing graphics. this is a remarkable port.
how did you get a game over with that many lives left? was it a glitch? or did you want to show it. after watching a video of a montage of different versions of the DONKEY KONG COUNTRY game over screen, i've been searching for that one for so long but i never could find it. until the day i watched this video. i found this video years before i started typing this.
This is an actual game that can run on a real NES, although it is a bootleg homebrew. If this were a Sega Genesis game, the graphics would be more close to the original Super NES game, although with a higher resolution and less colours.

wrong, they did a good job on the game boy his on the other hand isnt half as good. and i wonder why
@@KingCrimson82porque este se hizo con un presupuesto mucho más bajo, es una empresa que hace juegos piratas
"1997 Hummer Team"
OF COURSE.
CrazyRiverOtter They are the ones who also ported Super Mario World and Sonic the Hedgehog (knon as Somari) to the NES. To be honest, I think both are pretty impressive. Although Sonic & SMW's music and physics could need some improvement, I still find it cool.
Grew up playing this in Argentina... had to go to an arcade to play the SNES version..
+Deni Must add, it was 5min of gametime per token at the arcade :P
Deni couldnt afford a snes?
En serio estaba para family man? Yo nunca lo pude jugar en family. Emulador de snes nomas
Memes. Dank noone could get a snes in argentina whitou let the ass in the market. Always the sellers broke us the ass
I remember seeing those exact same arcade machines in Mexico.
Very impressive port, considering it is a pirate game. It feels and look very closely to the SNES game. Shows how NES was a good platform for inspired developers. Thanxx for the video.
Sidney D. da Costa yeah. Even the sound effects and music sounds good (even if it is a bootleg)
They ripped most of the assets from Donkey Kong Land
@@SSKO2 this isn't 8 bit lol
This isn't 8 bit lol
*@ObiTrev* They didn't, this is completely original graphics, music and code.
same creators often recycle their own sound engines, graphics engines and physics engines. this way you can identify which pirates created which game.
Absolutely amazed by the effort put into this port, actually looks fun.
I have to admit, for a pirated game this is very nice. I could kill some time playing this game.

this shows that even the NES can be just as good as the SNES

This port has great graphics, but the rest of it needs some tweaking.
Reminds me of the Gameboy Color version
The GBC version was damn impressive in and of itself.
Same
@@amylee9092 except the game over...
from an entire ocean of bad NES pirate games, hummer was probably the best not official game developer of NES games. Heck, some of their games are far better than mostly of the NES' official licenced games XD
Agreed, I'd much rather play this than Back to the Future or ANY LJN game, really! Hummer Team was just better at making games for the NES overall!
batzarro you should probably check out..... Kart Fighter.
On second thought, DONT.
With some better music and a little more polishing, this could pass off as a legit NES game.
The music is alright IMO, it could be a bit longer, but it's not bad at all. Quite good for NES actually. I agree the game could do with some polishing though.
amazing graphic + non blocky stage on old snes? wow
I have to say, the intro has beautiful graphics for nes.
Feeling when the port on the NES is Better than the original on the Super NES
@Angel Rodriguez Yes, but I think it’s quite a decent game.
Check the kong's colors, Only three: Black, red, and "flesh".
Besides both heroes are not displayed at once, because that would be too much for the NES memory, while it has to handle the enemies and other items as well.
It runs on an NES, seriously, I've managed to find a copy and it works
Actually, it can. And this is in fact on a pirate cartridge that the NES can run,
This is actually damned good for 8-bit.
First, Somari, then, Super Mario World for NES and now, DKC for NES
Anybody else confounded at the idea that he got a gameover despite having several lives
Hummer team is so good that they may aswell be considered official at this point. Hell they even got bettter sprite work than the dkl games on game boy (on the water atleast).
Cinos the Dense potato they are gone now
Not toooo terribly bad, considering that this is a pirated game.
This is actually very impressive, coming from a pirate game.
That sprite limit, though.
Nes keeps amazing us. even in 2012.
I'm never going to trow my Nes/snes and all other old conoles I have, away..
Awesome! but even this looks more advanced than what the nes could do.
What? There's a full on bootleg port? Amazing!
Até mesmo a Rare e a Nintendo ficariam impressionados com este piratão.
This really shows what the NES could do
It's too bad they didn't release something like this or the DKL games on the NES as a farewell release.

Hummer Team. Making decent Demakes of NES games in the 16bit generation.
This is really awesome.
Pretty cool to be an 8-bit pirate game.
You almost made it at the end.
this looks like it plays better than nintendo's 'game boy color' version.
So, I had Donkey Kong Land on game boy. I always thought, "if they could do this on a handheld I bet they could do a version of it on the NES." Here we are!

Que buena versión! Increíble para ser de nes .
WOAH NICE GRAPHICS!!!!
Un juegazo todavía tengo el juego escucho el soundtrack y me trae muy buenos recuerdos... 💓
i had this, but it was mowgli instead of donkey kongs
elmars123 you had the jungle book game
Dude. They made pirate games of everything. It doesn't surprise me so much they made this. Pirates do the craziest stuff.
Pretty cool.
Im from Argentina, and I remember that i bought this game when i was little, but I don't know if it was my NES or the game that came so broken (maybe the NES that I own can't stand this kind of game), that when I picked up a barrel, the games just crashes.

No Importa you probably had a famiclone with a cheaper processor, yes, even cheaper than the original.
@@Densester I've just read this comment, and that's really possible! My "family game" couldn't handle that.

excelent
impressive
@forlorndivinity No it isn't. This NES pirate came out in 1997, three years before the GBC version.
Nice!
Better than Somari
I was skeptical at first but if you watch carefully you can see NES's iconic solution to sprite limitations: flashing graphics. this is a remarkable port.
muito legal!
o NES marcou minha infância!
vou baixar esse jogo!
cool game!
Not bad for a NES pirated game.
So this is an Pirate convert from the Snes version ?
Yes
This game is almost legit!
Cool seems like fun on the Nes.
who else saw this back when they were little in 2008?
Looks better than DK land...
Wow I love the sound in this, do want
this game is very hard and a very good game:)
Given there were good ports of DKC on the Gameboy systems this shouldn't be too much of a surprise.
Love the cave music :D
0:17 WHY TF DK HAS 1 ARM?
i know. It is a glitch when you put more than 8 sprites in a grid row. It makes a flicking effect. Which us kinda annoying
Yo Gabba Gabba
why does all the pirated music have the same instruments?
Oo Check Eco Zones Blank Banshee it's the new version of the music of the underwater level
by HUMMER TEAM 1997 in Nintendo 1993
Para la capacidad de la nes yo le pondria un 9.5 por el hecho de algunos herrores que se mostearon
Looks kind of 16-bit to me.
1:27 that's my new future outro
Good Job !!!
how did you get a game over with that many lives left? was it a glitch? or did you want to show it. after watching a video of a montage of different versions of the DONKEY KONG COUNTRY game over screen, i've been searching for that one for so long but i never could find it. until the day i watched this video. i found this video years before i started typing this.
Ah so that donkey kong country 4 only nes best game ever also battletoads best great show thanks guy like it man!!
Better than the Donkey Kong Country for Game Boy Color imo.
9:15 bruh had 31 live and still getting a game over screen
@STARTANGELO They're all made by companies that have a few of the same developers, would be my guess
Game Over: Donkey Kong Country 4 NES at 9:11 another by GameOverContinue
Here they go again.
And they had 31 lives! Did those even matter at all?
Hello. I suscribe your channel. Like
The music and the flickering alone are proof enough. Or you could google it.
Seems cool...
OMG this is fucking awesome
I've heard about them.
God for pirate game.
It's very similar to GBC remake.
the same is true of the SNES though.
Search ebay, you might be able to run across a cart for your system.
this is not donkey kong country
this is donkey kong country 4
isnt this also ported officially on the gameboy? or is that still a whole different game than donkey kong country
Apparently, you've never heard of Save States.
This is probably the only pirate game I would like to waste my time with...but it's a famicom game and it can't run on pocketnes.
Scott Rubin actually you can buy an adapter on stoneagegamer. Its really cool.
Hey! They... tried?
I find this kinda creppy for some reason.
Yo tenía ese juego para el FAMICOM D:
100+.
noice 🖒
@MegaMan52 .....where do you find this game?
gracias a nintendo que salio para el snes
i need the rom for this mann
These graphics look a bit too good for NES, they look more like Genesis game
Genesis used two 8 -Bit graphics processors with 9-Bit color palletes. Genesis wasn't much bettter than in NES in color distribution
This is an actual game that can run on a real NES, although it is a bootleg homebrew. If this were a Sega Genesis game, the graphics would be more close to the original Super NES game, although with a higher resolution and less colours.
