Pros: The only official Donkey Kong II in existence (yeah, they skipped 2 in the arcades and went from 1 to JR. then directly to 3... weird). It's a fine playing Game & Watch too, takes the basics of the DK Jr. Game & Watch and adds two screens, with the bottom being a version of stage 3 from DK Jr., and the top being a version of stage 4 from DK Jr., which are both probably more involved and challenging than the DK Jr. G&W as a whole.
Cons: it being more involved, isn't always a good thing, and the screen can get cluttered and confusing rather quickly.
What it means to me: First played this game in Game & Watch Gallery 3, and I really dug it! I just really love the novelty of this being the only official Donkey Kong 2 in existence, haha! So much so, that I actually bought the original Game & Watch of it, and it of course plays best that way too! A nice gold foil clam-shell G&W, with cute art of DK and DK Jr., really nice! Of course, I'm a DK fanatic, so I gotta be real, it's not gonna be everyone's cup of tea. I like it a lot though!
