The Color TV-Game has the highest sales figures of the first generation of video gaming, though sadly a Japan exclusive. It has no Donkey Kong games.

• Nintendo Entertainment System and Family Computer (NES and FamilyCom)- the first 8-bit console released by Nintendo. The best-selling gaming console of its time, and the console that saved the Video Game Industry. The pictures have color (though are limited due to the hardware limitations) and the console has high selling games or ports. Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., Donkey Kong 3, and Donkey Kong Jr. Math are all featured on the Nintendo Entertainment System.

• Super Nintendo Entertainment System and Super Family Computer (SNES and Super FamilyCom)- the successor to the Nintendo Entertainment System. It is an upgraded version of it. It is 16-bit, it comes with a different controller, and can still be used as a multiplayer system (like the Nintendo Entertainment System). The Donkey Kong Country Trilogy (Donkey Kong Country, Donkey Kong Country 2, and Donkey Kong Country 3) was released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.

• Nintendo 64 (N64)- a 64-bit 3D home console. And Donkey Kong 64 and Diddy Kong Racing are the only Donkey Kong games for the Nintendo 64.

• Nintendo Gamecube (GameCube)- the Nintendo 64 was its predecessor, the Wii was its successor. It has much more memory for more advanced games to be played and saved. Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, Donkey Konga, Donkey Konga 2, and Donkey Konga 3 are the games that were released for the GameCube.

• Nintendo Wii (Wii)- said to be a revolutionary home console. Wireless Remote controller that makes a cursor appear on the screen, first game system with wireless interactions.

Donkey Kong Country Returns, Donkey Kong Barrel Blast, and Donkey Kong Jungle Beat are all playable on the Wii.

• Wii U- successor of the Nintendo Wii, operates in quite the same way. The console includes a Game Pad which can interact with the game on the TV as well as playing the game without the TV on at all. Basically, the Game Pad is an extra screen to the console.

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is currently the only game released for the Wii U.

The Nintendo Switch has 2 detachable controllers called Joycons, they can be used on the Nintendo Switch itself or as a controller for the TV.
