Donkey Kong 3: Game Guide, Developer and Facts
Donkey Kong 3 — video game guide with key facts, developer and background.
Donkey Kong 3 is a 1983 shoot 'em up video game developed and published by Nintendo for arcades. It is the third installment in the Donkey Kong series, following 1982's Donkey Kong Jr. It was ported to the Family Computer in 1984, then in North America for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1986. The gameplay departs from previous Donkey Kong games, and it stars an exterminator named Stanley instead of Mario. The game was a modest financial success in Japan, but its commercial failure in the United States was later cited by commentators as contributing to a period of reduced activity for the series until the release of Donkey Kong (1994) and Donkey Kong Country. It was re-released on the Wii Virtual Console in North America on July 14, 2008, and in Europe on January 9, 2009. It was re-released on Nintendo Switch through the Nintendo Classics service.
