Description
Scarce Black Box NES Shooter from Popular IP
Donkey Kong 3 - Wata 9.0 B+ Sealed [Hangtab, 2 Code,
Mid-Production], NES Nintendo 1986 USA. One of only six
examples of this variant recorded on Wata's September 2025
population report, this copy of Donkey Kong 3 presents well,
with just minor seal scuffing, small corner pokes, and light corner
wear. Unlike its predecessors, which helped define the climbing and
platforming formula, Donkey Kong 3 took the series in a
different direction, reimagining it as a Galaga-style
fixed-screen shooter where Stanley the Bugman would fend off Donkey
Kong and swarms of insects with his bug spray. Originally released
in arcades in 1983, this game is part of Nintendo's coveted black
box lineup-collectible for its uniform packaging style and place in
early NES history.View the certification for Wata Certification ID 574132-001, including grader's notes if available.
