-The Wii port of Donkey Kong Jr. is now available for Wii homebrew enthusiasts.
+This is a recreation of Game and Watch Donkey Kong Jr for the Wii.
-==Description==
-I've been involved with video games for a long time. In 1982, I received my first handheld console, the G&W Donkey Kong Jr, and in 1983, I programmed my own version of the game for the TRS-80 home computer. More recently, I've created a version of Donkey Kong Jr for the Wii homebrew platform.
-The idea to create this version of the game came from an information evening at my son's school. A student from the 'hogeschool voor de kunsten' was speaking about game design, and a girl asked if it was possible to program games for the Nintendo Wii. This piqued my interest because I had recently softmodded my Wii.
-After researching how to create Wii homebrew applications, I discovered that the devkitpro development environment could help me, and I decided to give it a try by recreating the game I had programmed in 1983. I wanted to bring my old creation back to life on a modern platform.
-This is the result of my effort, and I hope you enjoy it.
