Donkey Kong 64 (1999)

"Donkey Kong 64"—doing the math, I was four years old when it came out, so I'm not nostalgic. In fact, I'd say the first video game I remember is Brother Bear from 2003, and then the games for the "V-Smile Pocket, VTEC Interactive Learning," which was extremely popular in Spain for young children in the mid-2000s. The thing is, I find the character designs, frankly... very unappealing. Maybe I've committed sacrilege with this redesign, but it was fun redrawing the cover and giving it more dynamism.
