@specialagentape.bsky.social If you don't do this in the new Tomodachi Life, all that the Idaho Crew stands for will have been for nothing.

@dkvine.com The team that brought us Donkey Kong Bananza, and everything so amazing therein

@dkvine.com @altermentality.bsky.social AHHH, next wave is for Tropical Freeze!!! We'll be getting a Tucks and Lord Fredrik statue, respectively My prediction that Returns and Tropical Freeze would each get their own wave seems like it'll come to pass! Makes sense to me and is deserved, personally❤️

@altermentality.bsky.social @dkvine.com From the "Donkey Kong Bananza Kanzen Kōryakubon," take a look looksie at some official artwork from Nintendo👀

I think the best of both worlds (ha) is having Donkey Kong characters in Mario Kart World, but save the "in the weeds" choices for a full-fledged DK racing game (e.g., Chum Chucker Charlie, Bonehead Jed, Monocle Monica, and Fish Poker Pops). We can also *finally* get a playable Gnawty

Over two decades since originally appearing, Ninja Kong and Ghastly King from Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat return (kinda)! Ghastly King's design still doesn't *totally* do it for me, but Ninja Kong? Danggg, they sauced him *up!* This new model for him looks terrific. Would the other ones be similar?👀

Damnnn they gave Lord Fredrik some *sauce* in 2025?! Listen, I'm a Returns and Tropical Freeze glazer, but even I can't say I "love" either villain faction. (I prefer Tiki Tong to Lord Fredrik, but prefer the Snowmad faction over the Tiki Tak Tribe.) But just this little snippet of Fredrik... damn🥶🥹

I was already pretty on board with the DK redesign when it was being teased in 2D Nakaue promotional art. The first look in Mario Kart World (for that short glimpse) also looked good to me, but I was curious if there was clear justification beyond trying to hue closer to the arcade days. However...

This sounds like the ideal tbh. #Nipplewatch always got me perky and alert

The next Emerald Rush statues are Ninja Kong and Ghastly King from Jungle Beat! As someone with zero connection to that game, this makes me happy. Rare weren't the only ones who made DK games (obvi). And, speaking as the Retro Studios fan, neither were they! EPD 8's first game *was* Jungle Beat ...

I wanted to hop on the "10 games to get to know me" trend (cause why not), so here is my list!

@dkvine.com Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch million sellers for November 2025 - Donkey Kong Bananza at 3.49 million units, more share.google/4ft9MewjVoTc...

@dkvine.com @altermentality.bsky.social I don't speak Japanese, so I can't verify this, but apparently Nintendo confirmed the next Emerald Rush event begins on November 25th on the Hilltop Layer, and the prizes... are Chunky and Lanky statues?!?!

AHHHHHH, I just finally got a job offer AND it's for the job I REALLY REALLY wanted!!!😭🙏 No more godforsaken job site emails💀

@tahk0.bsky.social As the resident Pokémon *and* style expert, what do you think of these two new Uniqlo shirts I got? I'm not usually one to get explicit "gamer" clothing like this, but I thought these both looked stylish (especially Slowpoke, as I don't own a predominantly purple shirt).

Very light spoilers for Donkey Kong Bananza's Sublayer 1100! Diddy… I know you just met her and you don’t have much experience talking to humans, but that’s potentially a VERY rude thing to say to Pauline.

@dkvine.com Not sure how close you've been looking at these Nintendo stores (one just opened in San Francisco and another was just announced for Fukuoka, Japan-must be doing well for them to steadily open stores), but these are the main series Nintendo promotes there. Their "big five." (1/8)

If the theory about Donkey Kong Bananza taking heavy inspiration from Journey to the West is true (and if King K. Rool is actually in the game), I can’t help but laugh at the idea that K. Rool’s deep-seated grudge against Donkey Kong might be because DK converted his wife to Buddhism

@dkvine.com In the recent 20.0 firmware Switch update, the standard DK icon got updated like Nintendo Music! Nothing really earth-shattering, but still neat to see!

@dkvine.com I *do* think it's rather interesting that Nintendo continues to post about DK right before the Switch 2 Direct Yeah, Returns HD is one of their latest releases, but Xenoblade Chronicles X is even more recent, and they haven't posted about it *nearly* as much Just interesting is all...👀

@dkvine.com Nintendo Music just added a new playlist for final battle music. It's interesting how the characters Nintendo chose for the key art feature Bowser, Ganondorf, *and* King K. Rool👀 It's a small thing, of course, but it *does* feel like a telling sign. Doesn't feel like "burying" behavior

Me and my canon Pokémon team (narrowing it down to just three was difficult)

despite the world becoming scary i still have a perhaps niave but unwaivering belief that a better world is possible
