The original English release is _also_ in color. People nowadays seem to think *Super Game Boy* supported games didn't exist, but they did, and this is one of them. Nintendo just refuses to give us Super Game Boy support...
Even Pokemon Red and Green had SGB support. The games were pretty impressive for original Game Boy in 1996 standards, even before Gold and Silver blew everything else away in graphics.
Except the Super GameBoy wasn’t really full colour. It only could increase the colour palette up to 12 simultaneous colours, and only as tiles. Most games that were SGB enhanced generally only used the enhanced colours to tint the screen based on the environment and not use full colour like the GBC. The Donkey Kong Land was a prime example, the original Gameboy versions of the game only had tinting and not full colour on the SGB. A better example would be Pokemon Gold and Silver, where you got full colour on the GameBoy colour but only tinting depending on the time of day on SGB.
I prefer the black and white over the weird colors... Or is that puke green the only choice they give out ? I'm asking for my pet cat. Her name is Stacey Regis
I think you have to disable auto-renewal first before changing the regions for your account. Edit: I miscalculated the situation…it would be better to create a separate account or have an account that does have anything major because there’s a lot on the line when doing your method like certain subscriptions such as Pokémon Home.
for some regions, if you have remaining balance in your account, you can't switch regions. Making a second account is more convenient in the long run. All you need is a second e-mail.
@TemporalZack You can switch regions with a balance. You're balance just doesn't carry over. So for instance if I have $10 on my English/US account, and change it to a Japanese account, my balance on the Japanese eShop will be $0. If I transfer back to a US account, my $10 balance will still be there. I've done this multiple times whenever a new NSO system app releases, most recently with the N64 18+ app. Edit: just noticed you specified SOME regions. I can't speak on anything other than the US and Japan accounts.
I did this years ago to play the harder Japanese version of Mario 3 (where it still uses Mario 1 damage rules and has a few minor level design differences).
@03bgood Yep, you're right: the overseas versions of Super Mario World left the damage system as it was in the original Japanese version. I guess because the player can hold a power-up in reserve, it makes the game more forgiving. Interesting to note that later Japanese versions of SMB3 (on Super Famicom and Game Boy Advance) were built from the US version and use the US damage system.
@@neilt82 Same. I even modded my Wii copy of the All-Stars version to change the damage system back to the original Japanese version. Not only do I like the increased difficulty, but I think it makes the item balancing better, as it makes Super Mushrooms a lot more valuable and useful, whereas with the US/Modern damage system Super Mushrooms get kinda useless and even feel like a lame punishment sometimes, because you don't become small nearly as often so they're useless more of the time you find one.
The original GB version wasn't originally released in Japan. That's why they got a special GBC version, a few years later. The same year as the GBC port of DKC1.
I, *_personally,_* would play through the _Donkey Kong Land III_ video game, first, on the usual North American Nintendo Account - complete with black-and-white/monochrome graphics via the classic Nintendo Game Boy/Nintendo Game Boy Pocket filter - *_and then_* play through it again - complete with more colourful graphics via the Nintendo Game Boy Color filter - but on the Japanese Nintendo Account. The reason for this would be because of the Japanese text, especially when it comes to the Bears' dialogues - as I can't read Japanese, and yet I still need to know what the items in which the Bears want to trade/barter with in exchange for the item that I need in order to progress through the video game and 100% it.
Color version had some stuff cut from it. Map animations were removed and the bear in the shops also lost his frames of animation for whatever reason. It’s still a great game without those things, but the game seems less lively without them.
It would be cool if they let you choose which region of the game you want to play direct in the App more or less like Sony did with classic PS1 games on PS5. But it's good that at least there is an alternative to be able to play the Japanese version.
@@EdoVro that’s wrong.. it’s on the game boy app also I literally just did it… the genesis app can also be switched to European versions and even Korean. The gba app can switch to European versions as well. Looks like the only ones you can’t switch versions on is the snes and nes.
I did this a few years back to download and play Yu-gi-oh Legacy of the duelist, several months ahead of the English release. What was funny was when I booted the game using my main english account, the full game was in English!
Had this same thing happen to me when I downloaded Disgaea 5 from the Japanese eShop shortly after the system launched but months before a US release of the game.
@@IceEnderman252 It does because that's how I did it... I changed it to Japan, downloaded the japanese version of ALL emulators, N64, Famicon, Super Famicon, Mega Drive...All of them, then switched back
Done this since the beginning of the NSO classic games apps. A bigger deal is being able to get the Japanese versions of all the apps, not just the Game Boy, and play not only Japanese versions of games, but some Japan-only games exclusive to the Japanese apps.

You should download the Japanese version of every app there are so many exclusives or differences In games Mario 64 with Rumble more cups In Pokemon Stadium Mother 3
It's a shame that almost every Game Boy games on NSO dosen't have colors, but it's so nice to see that DK Land 2 & 3 have colors I would love to subscribe NSO again only because DK Land games looks so nice! 😊
I never played the GBC version. I went from the Game Boy to the GBA and completely skipped a generation because my parents didn't think there was enough of a difference to buy a new version. By the GBA's time, I had my own money.
I'm a bit surprised. I thought this fast trickle of DKL was leading to a localized version of the color version of DKL3 like F-Zero Climax. Nintendo can be so inconsistent. Edited to correct autocorrect.
I guess it's for the same reason they don't allow the original black and white version of Link's Awakening on the Gameboy ap. I guess they only one version of each game on it. Yet, they included an option to play some of the European versions regardless contradicting that rule a bit.
You can get to all the Japanese-only NSO games this way, they're just...in Japanese. There's a lot of things on Japanese NSO that'd be really cool to experience, like Shin Megami Tensei 1 and 2, or Fire Emblems 1, 3, 4, and 6 (Japanese NSO skipped Gaiden and Thracia for some reason) that are just too text heavy to be practical to play on NSO even though you can absolutely get to them this way.
I came here thinking the Switch emulator finally allowed to display the set of colors given by default to specific games by the Super gameboy and the GBC, instead, it's just the gameboy color version of the game.
@GameXplain I know, but the GBC has pre-set color palette it for some of the classic game boy games, like metroid 2, and I wish that kind of fonctionnality was available on the switch virtual console.
I bet the mod community can make a better job than Nintendo to make this game both of the two worlds, in a better color pallet and fully animated... If they haven't done that ready 😂
Andre u just uploaded this video, bots started commenting, like i said The simple way to fix or stop this is to copy their comments and pasting it in the comment filter.
You don't need to do all of that Andre. You can just change your residence region on your main account to Japan, download it and go back to your main account. I have the all japanese apps on my brazilian account.
You can simply change your country to Japan, download the exclusive apps, and then change it back to your country. For updates you don't need to change it again.
I think is kind of lazy to just put the games in there, why not do the effort to color the games properly, if a fan programmer could do a mod of super Mario land 2 in full color, why Nintendo cannot color the games himself? That way the online service would have exclusive content only available at the online service, as today, so far nothing is exclusive to this service.
Cause these games are not market as deluxe versions or definitive versions. These are market as original so they will keep it as original as they could be. If they add anything else to the game then that would destroy the point of the game being original. When you agree to get games on NSO, you agree that those games will be the original meaning there are nothing different about them nor are their anything new added to them.
@ I get your point, to be as original as possible. I was just saying putting colors on the game, and not changing nothing else, and giving the option to the players to choose if the want original green/black gameboy, or the white/black gameboy pocket, etc, and the new deluxe color version, that would be cool. Ok, they don’t give the option for the full color, but at least give us the super gameboy color palette and the gameboy color change of colors. The snes had some games that supported some colors, like castlevania legends, the color was limited but the life bar had a red color, and the sub weapon also had different color, and the game boy color was possible to change the palette color at the start of the screen, would be nice if they could give us this options, the original games had those options.
The Donkey Kong Land games aren't ports, they're entirely separate games. It's the Donkey Kong games on GBA that are ports. Just like the Mega Man Game Boy games aren't ports of the NES games, they're their own things.
No, is easier to go to the website and change country of the account to Japan, download all NSO Apps Japanese version if needed and then changing back to whatever country you were before and done. A shorter way to do it I think and not creating any mail, profile, account involved.
It not easy at all, after changing you have to login on your switch again which is kinda annoying, and after downloading the app you have to go and change it back, it's easier to just have a jp profile for every time you need to download something from the JP eShop, like the NSO apps or some exclusive demos
Did you even watch before you commented? This is all explained in the video just like the previous times when @GameXplain has done similar videos on this same topic. Like when they covered Mother 3 as just one example.
Want to play the Game Boy version of a Super Nintendo game in color? Just go through an incredibly large amount of hassle and bullshit for something that isn't even remotely worth it! Don't even bother realizing that the original Super Nintendo version is available on the exact same service, just go through copious amounts of bullshit to play the Game Boy version in COLOR!
@TomoTomato18 awesome. It doesn't matter to me either way. I was just asking because me and technology don't get along very well. I plan to phone Nintendo myself tmrw and ask them how to do this properly.
Too much work, and too many downsides. I'll stick with just setting to Gameboy colour. As long as I can tell the difference between background and entities, I'll be fine.
Talk about lazy to not take a few minutes out to have access to these. Especially when you’re missing out on a few games that never released in the West & aren’t available on the English Versions of the NSO Apps.
Out of so many great games they are this boring Gameboy donkey Kong when you can play the super Nintendo version...a very very dumb decision in my opinion.
The Donkey Kong Land games are not ports of the Super NES Donkey Kong Country games just like how Link's Awakening is not a port of A Link to the Past or Super Mario Land which is not a port of Super Mario Bros. They had similar contents and visuals but are actually different games.

Ya none of the 3DS VC games use the super Gameboy and thats unfortunate.
And whatever had SuperGB, also had special GBC support(working like a GBC game)
That was my immediate thought, they could have at least included the Super Game Boy color pallets.
Even Pokemon Red and Green had SGB support. The games were pretty impressive for original Game Boy in 1996 standards, even before Gold and Silver blew everything else away in graphics.

You can simply change your country to Japan, download the exclusive apps, and then change it back to your country. For updates you don't need to change it again.
This can work, but not always. If you have an unused balance or auto renew on, it'll prevent you from changing your country

Did you even watch before you commented? This is all explained in the video just like the previous times when @GameXplain has done similar videos on this same topic. Like when they covered Mother 3 as just one example.
I'd rather play it on SNES.
I think I got a Japanese account to play Persona 5 Scramble which is actually Persona 5 Strikers.
You can't play this on SNES as it's not a port.
@@1JAM229 I was talking about Donkey Kong Country 3.
Or play DKC3 on the SNES.
DKL3 isn't a port though; it has all-new level designs
Land & Country are TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT GAMES.
Want to play the Game Boy version of a Super Nintendo game in color? Just go through an incredibly large amount of hassle and bullshit for something that isn't even remotely worth it! Don't even bother realizing that the original Super Nintendo version is available on the exact same service, just go through copious amounts of bullshit to play the Game Boy version in COLOR!
It's an original game, not the Game Boy version of an SNES game.
@1JAM229 oh come on, you know very well that this is essentially just DKC3 chopped up to fit on a Gameboy cart.
Or... nintendo can just not be a bunch of pricks and region lock things arbitrarily.
The Switch isn't region locked at all, which is why you can do this.

Question: Is this actually legal?
Yes
yes
you can actually do this to play mother 3 too
@TomoTomato18 awesome. It doesn't matter to me either way. I was just asking because me and technology don't get along very well. I plan to phone Nintendo myself tmrw and ask them how to do this properly.
@@michaelhockaday7426 just follow instructions here nintendo wont tell you how to do it
Too much work, and too many downsides. I'll stick with just setting to Gameboy colour. As long as I can tell the difference between background and entities, I'll be fine.
Talk about lazy to not take a few minutes out to have access to these. Especially when you’re missing out on a few games that never released in the West & aren’t available on the English Versions of the NSO Apps.
@@EvaFull I couldn't care LESS. I don't even LIKE vode games.
Out of so many great games they are this boring Gameboy donkey Kong when you can play the super Nintendo version...a very very dumb decision in my opinion.
The Donkey Kong Land games are not ports of the Super NES Donkey Kong Country games just like how Link's Awakening is not a port of A Link to the Past or Super Mario Land which is not a port of Super Mario Bros. They had similar contents and visuals but are actually different games.
I ain't doing this
Steam deck + emulator their I solved it for you weebs
But that's cheating.
If you want colors you can also play the snes version.
It's an original game, not an SNES port.
