HES BACK

POV: You're working a 100% commission-based sales job and Nintendo tells you to sell monkey game Donkey Kong grossed $111 million in FY 1982, a big jump from $4.7 million from the year prior

In a deposition, Miyamoto described Donkey Kong's design as a human wearing a monkey suit lol Happy 45th Donkey Kong Thank you for uploading this treasure trove of entertainment @gaminghistorian.bsky.social

45 Years of Donkey This game was Nintendo's canon event

Donkey Kong: Time to Monkey has officially been released

DK Challenge is live!

NO WAY!! Huge win for Nintendo, what a nice end to the Donkey Kong Freedom story

10/10 direct, it had Donkey

Expectations vs reality

Interesting- I wonder why Donkey Kong Bananza isn't taking off in Japan.

Nintendo has completed the infinity gauntlet of going back to a game. We have now the perfect guide for if a game is a remaster, remake etc. I present the Starfox Scale.

We have a winner

So nice of Nintendo to greenlight my entire wish list for the Switch 2 lineup Starfox my beloved

Playing Mario 64 DS and listening to Childish Gambino at the same time hits different in 2026

Can’t believe I shook hands with Yoshi at a grocery store 10 years ago

This is what happens when you move into the building where they made Donkey Kong Bananza. They have flipped the Pokemon narrative

If we’ve learned anything today, we’ve learned the Switch 2 is the DEFINITIVE system to play games where a small girl perches on your shoulder while you commit acts of violence

Zelda Breath of the Wild after 8 months: 4.7 million Donkey Kong Bananza after 5.5 months: 4.25 million DK had a holiday window in there but wow DK is so back gamers. We'll see if it's legs are more like Luigi's Mansion or BOTW, but it's looking nice so far TY @axelsaurus.bsky.social for the tip!

Bananza is selling at about the same rate as Splatoon 2 did in 2017 DK: 4.25million from July 17th - December 31st Splatoon 2: 4.91million from July 21st - December 31st It will be interesting to see if it gets a second wind from the supposed 2028 movie release

Gamers have you noticed that the best selling Mario RPGs of each kind- Rabbids, Paper Mario, and Mario & Luigi games have one thing in common?

THEY FIXED IT THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO ADVOCATED FOR THIS

@2chrispy4you.bsky.social (Chrispinator) is dropping new lore on Donkey Kong Country Returns: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHvE...

KOLLAB ALERT ​⁨ @snorcaorca.bsky.social does these cool videos figuring out what real creatures correspond to the Gnawties and Zingers we're bopping in the DKC series. I had to jump into one of them, check it out and sub if you like the content!

DIDDY IS BACK! I love his design 😭 You can tell he’s been touched up but he’s still our boy.

when you have kids of your own you realize how peak this design is

Happy new year gamers

Have a very merry rushed Christmas Card from ol' Da Dude, featuring Donkey Kong

Click through if you want to see me laugh like a hyena at the whackiest game of Mario Party I've ever played

Why wasn't David Wise hired to do the music? Why did they only have Rambi as an animal buddy? Why did K Rool take so long to return? This review discussion between ⁨Reece (Kiwi Talks) and former Retro Studios devs is enlightening. Must watch/listen for DK fans. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HI3b...

BARREL BLAST NATION STAND UP

Sandfall: "We were funded by the French government and a publisher" The Gamers:

newsletter.hushcrasher.com/p/taxonomy-o... Super interesting article on what makes a game "indie" and when it moves into "Midi" / "AA" space. I think this kind of sorting is super helpful

I love indie gaming #TheGameAwards You know it’s indie when they say “I want to thank our publisher”

They needed to do this before they announced Rayman coming back

New Donk-like just dropped! I’m working on a vid with it, but for now I can say it’s very fun and will fill the DKC2 shaped void in your heart. youtu.be/C-gcqY7P3t8?...

I haven't seen people talking about the pace of DK Bananza's sales, so here's a comparison of the recent results up against the first few financial reports for the Switch 1: BOTW: 3.92mil / 4months MK8D: 3.54mil / 2.25mo Splatoon 2: 3.61mil / 2.5mo Bananza: 3.49mil / 2.5mo

This is my superbowl

WHOA

Super Mario Universe coming holiday 2026 you heard it here first gamers

This is an incredible video. I’m not super familiar with the greater Rare output, and this video introduced me to all the fun ways they tied their games together.

This is a great video- very thankful for the reporting you did, as well as the excellent coverage from @dkvine.com It’s a shame what happened to VV
