And that always bugged me a bit, because these … Read More

When Nintendo dropped the DK Island & Emerald Rush Expansion for Donkey Kong Bananza, It honestly came as a big surprise. The base game only swung onto the Nintendo Switch 2 a couple of months ago, so seeing a full-blown expansion pack this soon, announced during the latest Nintendo Direct no less, was surprising enough. But the bigger shock was … Read More

Earlier today, Nintendo delivered a new Nintendo Direct.

When I booted up Nintendo Switch Welcome Tour on my shiny new Nintendo Switch 2, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Was it a game? A tutorial?

Back in 2015, I picked up Xenoblade Chronicles X on the Wii U. Like a lot of JRPG fans at the time, I was drawn to its massive open world, deep systems, and ambitious scale. I had a blast with it, but to be honest, I never finished it. Life got in the way, and Xenoblade X was the kind of game you really … Read More

I have very fond memories of playing through the original Donkey Kong Country trilogy on the Super Nintendo. Those games were some of my favorite platformers growing up, so it doesn’t take much to get me excited for anything Donkey Kong-related—especially when it comes to a Donkey Kong Country title.
