Amo esses vídeos de comparação de jogos.
GBA:Melhor aspecto de tela,Velocidade Maior que do super nintendo,Conteudos Extras. SNES:Melhores Graficos,Melhor Gama de Cores,Melhor Qualidade Sonora.
DK top de mais. A versão do GBA apesar de tudo tem detalhes extras nas fases.
O chip de som da Sony combinado a bela paleta de cores tornava o Super Nintendo um console único,mesmo o Game Boy advance contando com alguns recursos a mais na minha opinião o Super Nintendo era mais capaz,mas o Game Boy advance com seus jogos exclusivos feitos exatamente pra ele mandava muito bem,eram ótimas pérolas. Parabéns VCDECIDE ótimo vídeo.

SNES is better in every regard. The GBA, while having a more powerful CPU, limitations of screen resolution, overly high contrast visuals because of the dark LCD screen and a terrible sound chip that can’t touch the SNES made it a bad conversion. Toppled with extra (unnecessary) dialog at the start was cringe

@@FIXTREME The GBA's sound chip is hands down worse than the SNES's. While any game with music specifically designed for the GBA will sound pretty good, there are no SNES ports that sound better on GBA. The GBA has a very similar sample system, but even more bit crushed, and killed by the built-in speaker.
It's no contest. SNES wins all the way.
I like the SNES more, it's the Original - with better Colours, Backgrounds and Animations!
I'm not gonna lie, I like both versions. SNES did have better graphics and better music, no doubt about it. I liked that the GBA version added some extra cool mini games, additional cutscenes, new boss, and items to find like the golden feathers and photos. But if I really had to choose, I'd pick SNES. What I really like about it is that every level had its own version of the win/lose themes.
I came from all three GB games (Land 1-3) then to the "real thing" on Snes (Sound, graphics etc.). DKC2 is my all time favourite game and I also like the GBA games just to play them with some differences. I mean we don't have to compare them. We can or I must say as a fan I can just be happy to play "another version" of this game. Mini-Games are cool and in DKC3 there is a whole new world and music all by David Wise. What do we want more for a port? Want just to add something: On DKC2 on the GBA Dixie doesn't eat honey...don't know why they removed that detail 😕 It's one of the thing that makes DKC2 on Snes so special besides the whole Pirate-Theme/Lost world etc. The title screen on Snes together with the "magical" music tells you that you will experience a wonderful adventure full of great locations, hidden stuff and all accompanied with a mind blowing soundtrack ☺ I still get tears when I hear "In a snow bound land" 😢 The 90s were unbeliavable...great stuff in the 80s too for sure 😎
I actually prefer the GBA version gameplay-wise, at least for horizontal level, as the smaller sprites mean you actually get a wider FOV, making it easier to rush through the levels in time-attack
Versão original sempre a melhor.

The snes version feels and looks more serious but the gba version does has some small improvements here and there including some extra sound effects or those falling coins in the background before entering a bonus stage etc,,, But i still prefer the snes version because of it’s better colors,higher res graphics and stereo audio(altrough the default setting is in mono and you cannot save it to stereo,(stupid rare ware) While it sound cool on paper to have those extra’s in the gba version BUT i don’t care about those extra’s BUT i do like the title screen better in the gba version,am mean why the snes version says diddy kong’s quest instead? Why it doesn’t also say donkeykong country 2???

Yeah they only showed the subtitle on Snes but it's the subtitle where all the magic begins that make this game so special. It's my favourtie game of all time and for me the Snes title screen looks way more "magical" (treasures, lost world character etc.) than the GBA title screen which is just the picture of the box art ;-) "Diddy Kong's Quest" it should be named but they changed it to "Diddy's Kong Quest" to play with the name "conqest" (Kong Quest). That game blew me away and I came from Donkey Kong Land on GB to the Snes which was just like to play the real thing finally 😊 They however removed a detail which I never heard someone speaking of. Dixie doesn't eat honey when she climps the honey walls! That was some of the greatest tiny details and I don't know why that was removed... Why do you like the GBA titlescreen more? Just wonder why you like it more ;)

En cuanto potencia técnica SNES tiene una resolución mucho mayor pero GBA es mejor en el resto, sobre todo en la memoria de los cartuchos. Esto hace que haya mucha más potencia por cada píxel. Sin embargo en la mayoría de ocasiones la resolución se impone y el caso de este juego es un buen ejemplo. A día de hoy esos prerenderizados en una resolución de SNES ya me parecen horribles, si también es verdad que nunca me gustó la estética sobrecargada de la franquicia. En cuanto al colorido me gusta mucho más el mayor contraste de SNES, el colorido de GBA lo harían para el contraste de su pantalla

Além da mudança nas cores, eles tiveram que "espremer" os gráficos para caberem na tela do GBA (que tem menos resolução que a tela da TV), o que deixou os Kongs menos definidos. E o som ficou pior, pois o GBA não possui um chip de som dedicado.
No Snes os gráficos ficaram lindos, porém na versão de GBA ficou terrível não sei pq kkk em fim, Snes ficou melhor graficamente, no GBA ficou top as animações novas e aberturas.

I think it had something to with the size of the ROMs as this game was in a 64Mb cartridge. I believe there were 3 variables - 32Mb, 64Mb and 128Mb. I don't know why Nintendo didn't go all out with the Hi ROM cartridge of 128Mb as I know it could have looked much closer to the SNES source material.

Hardware limitations. Despite the GBA often being talked of being more or less a "portable SNES", it was quite badly handicapped by its lackluster hardware, as Nintendo insisted on cheap and low power components for its handhelds to keep prices down and increase battery life. For instance, with no dedicated sound sample processing chip in it, samples had to be processed using the CPU (which wasn't exactly all-powerful to begin with), meaning balancing between sound quality and overall performance was a necessity. Often the developers chose the latter. Furthermore, the DAC in the GBA was poor, resulting in worse quality sound than what was actually on the cart. The often washed out looking bright graphics are because devs needed to compensate for the original GBA not having a backlit screen.

Well, it’s the screen. They had to design around a lower resolution screen which had no backlight. That’s why the colours look washed out, and detail is missing. The GBA is a lot more powerful than the SNES on raw specs, despite what people here tell you. Look at all the FPS and 3D racing games on the platform. They look quite crap for today, but are doing it without any hardware acceleration. Just compare SNES Doom to GBA doom, and Duke Mullen advance is another level. The. v-Rally 3 or Speed Syndicate or even the Need for speed games. The SNES can’t get close to those. The screen though hinders 2d games, but if you look at dedicated games or 32 bit conversions like Rayman it does quite well. Just cropped in a bit.
