However, the service was discontinued for Wii in January 2019. The SFC/SNES version of Donkey Kong Country was re-released on the Virtual Console for Nintendo Wii in Europe on December 8, 2006, in Japan on December 12, 2006, in North America on February 19, 2007, and in South Korea on May 26, 2008. The game Donkey Kong Country was also remade by Rare and released for the Game Boy Color (as Donkey Kong 2001 in Japan) and Game Boy Advance (as Super Donkey Kong in Japan) in 2000-20, respectively. The game was very successful, since it sold over 8 million units and spawned a sub-series in the Donkey Kong franchise making several sequels, the Donkey Kong Land trilogy, Donkey Kong Country 2, Donkey Kong Country 3 and Donkey Kong 64. This allowed them to have more detail in animations, for a 16-bit console, which was revolutionary at the time.

The graphics were made with expensive Silicon 3D graphic models and compressed into two-dimensional for the SFC/SNES. The game is known for being the first game to use pre-rendered sprites, creating a three-dimensional effect throughout the game. While Rare had made some popular games in the past, such as Battletoads for Famicom/NES, Donkey Kong Country is credited with making them well-known in the industry. The popular game is credited for its successful spin-off debut of Nintendo's very first game antagonist Donkey Kong from a decade before the game's release, as well as starting a new franchise entirely based around new characters and gameplay.
