I used to play “Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong’s Double Trouble” in SNES console long time back. I want to play this game again and I don’t know whether I can play it in PS4 or XBox. Do you know? Or is there any other console in which I can play this game? I don’t have any console now but I am willing to buy both console and game. Thanks.

You can play it on pc with an emulator
You can even play it on a browser using keyboard or using a plug in snes controller on pc
If you want to play it legally you need to buy a new3ds , switch or wiiu and digital download using virtual console or go old school with a snes and the game from ebay or someone else second hand
I don't think it's available on the Switch.
Yeah not on switch but theres also a gba port , some ninty site made it seem like it was out
Donkey Kong is owned by Nintendo, so you'll have to get a Nintendo branded console.
Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong’s Double Trouble has been officially re-released on the Wii, Wii U and New 3DS/New 2DS systems.
The eShop for the Wii has been shut down, and the Wii U is no longer in production. (3DS/2DS is portable, probably not what you're after)Personally I'd recommend getting a SNES Mini and modding it to add the game to it.
Modding it is a simple as plugging the USB cable to your computer and you use a program to put the rom on it. Guide here
Legally it's a grey area to download the ROM.
I'd say a Wii, softmodded would be cheapest and easiest
I'm sure the game is still available to purchase digitally on the Wii U e-Shop….if OP is wanting to go the legitimate route or has no time/interest in console modding!
Of course, a Wii U is a little more pricey compared to the Wii but it has the added bonus of playing both game libraries on the one console (Wii and Wii U games). In addition to selected digital titles of older Nintendo consoles such as the NES, SNES, N64, GBA and even Nintendo DS which are available for purchase.
Edit: Just checked and it's available on the store for $10.40AU. The previous SNES Donkey Kong games are also available and for the same price.
Ok fair call didn't know the Wii-u eshop was still open
I don't think ozbargain is a site for suggesting illegal downloading of games.
It is available wherever you can find a second hand gaming.
A SNES console you should pay about $80, the game is normally around $40.
Wii's are about $40, game around $15-20.
Gumtree, Facebook Marketplace, cash converters, ebay are a starting point.I don't think ozbargain is a site for suggesting illegal downloading of games.
shrug
Nintendo aren't getting any money out of the purchase of a second-hand console and/or game anyway. However if they had an e-store or a way for op to play the game for an acceptable price I'm sure they'd happily pay it.Piracy isn't hurting anyone in this situation
Cant use wii anymore because vc has been discontinued
Thank you everyone. This is a huge help for me. Highly appreciated!!!
Out of curiosity, what have you settled on?
Also New 3DS, can install it right on your home screen
Retro Pie
Homebrew Nintendo Wii
Homebrew Nintendo Switch
Homebrew PSP
Homebrew PS Vita
Or
Buy OG SNES with original game
