Banandiumtone, I served with Xananab. I knew Xananab. Xananab was a friend of mine. Banandiumtone, you're no Xananab.

DK Vine has officially crossed the Go-No-Further Gate with our Donkey Kong Bananza spoiler policy. To celebrate, community stalwart @justandre.bsky.social has penned an editorial on the timely resonance of K. Rool's role in the game! dkvine.com?p=games&page...

So unaccustomed to blatant fan pandering as I am, finally getting to move into the DLC portion of Donkey Kong Bananza today might be the greatest victory lap I've ever taken in a video game. This team continually smacks my gob.

We're back with #SpookyQuestions! 👻 So we wanna ask: What is/are your favorite spooky song(s) from a game??

I promise not to punch downward.

Me, five-and-a-half hours before recording my Donkey Kong podcast, hoping I can do justice to the subject matter.

The positive feedback has been so heartwarming to see. Forever proud of everyone who was involved in the development and release of the game. @playtonicgames.com

Unless... you pay $5 or up to listen live. ... If you won't leave, we record this Wednesday at 10:30 PM EDT/7:30 PM PDT (3:30 AM Thursday BST). Call the DK Vine Hotline at 1-202-630-VINE (8463) with your thoughts on Sublayer 1500 and what lies beyond Go-No-Further Gate. ...

Get out. Go away. The next #Kongversation is off-limits. You shouldn't listen to it. @geekcritique.org and I will discuss Donkey Kong Bananza's Sublayer 1500. It's restricted. Leave. ...

Special Events to obtain statues will be held regularly for #DonkeyKongBananza

The #Kongversation is joined by @pyrrhickong.bsky.social to harmonize discussion on Bananza's 13th world! Lost, alone, and incarcerated, how will Donkey Kong get his groove back? Note: This episode only contains spoilers through the end of Sublayer 1300. www.dkvine.com?p=podcasts&s...

@playtonicgames.com Playtonic NAILED this experience, LOVE what I see and play 💚💜

Yooka-Replaylee is out now on... well EVERYWHERE! 💚💜 The open world 3D platforming epic with hundreds of collectibles to discover, an evil capitalist bee to defeat, and a snake in trousers await! It's bigger. It's better. It's Yooka-Replaylee!

Yooka & Laylee set sail today on their (re)maiden voyage, as Yooka-Replaylee has digitally disembarked on all platforms.

@playtonicgames.com Yooka-Replaylee today!

Close to you - Nintendo

5 DAYS TO GO?! A while ago, we rang up @caddicarus.bsky.social. Then we superglued him down onto the sofa and made him play our game for 1.5h hours. Grab a bevvy and a snack and join us for a comparison video between Yooka-Laylee and Yooka-Replaylee. WATCH HERE ⤵️⤵️ youtu.be/O_g5VRNbPt8

Yooka & Laylee got a glow-up, so of course, the soundtrack had to as well. 🎶 Brand-new tracks + fully orchestrated classics from Wise, Kirkhope, Burke, Murdoch & Griffin — with the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra bringing it all to life. Turn it up! 🔊 Yooka-Replaylee launches October 9th.

Watch 2 hours of incredible art come to life in under a minute! 🎨✨ Our talented artist Dean Wilson brings the Yooka-Replaylee key art to life stroke by stroke, and you get to see it all in fast-forward. See more of Dean’s amazing work here 👉 instagram.com/deanwilsonart

Suddenly remembered the time when I stumbled upon some red balloon lollipops inspired by Stephen King’s “IT” and decided to come back later to rebrand them.

You there, look smart, we've got a pair of Reddit highlights for #FanArtFriday coming through and you don't want to be caught looking scruffy, do you? Not for Jenny-Jinya's Conker scene or Ungraceful_Apple's @seaofthieves.com sketch you don't. Everyone's homework is to buy an iron.

The wait will be a bit longer if you're holding out for a physical version of Yooka-Replaylee. As announced today by @playtonicgames.com and @pmstudios.bsky.social, Replaylee physical editions, complete with map and sticker inserts, arrive on December 18 for a suggested retail price of $49.99.

Wave 3 of Donkey Kong Bananza: DK Island & Emerald Rush Switch Icons is now available for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. That Donkey Kong Icon is so sad because he let his subscription expire, meaning he'll miss out on the novelty Fractone eyes Icon.

Pre-orders have gone live for Rare Collection 1, the 12-game compilation for Evercade... and the first time that Conker's Pocket Tales has been commercially available in 25 years! The cartridge releases on November 27th.

Remember when Nintendo 64 used to have fish tank. Man those goldfishes are awesome

POV: You’re a dental hygienist giving Donkey Kong his regular cleaning. You’re about to insert the hook to scrape off the Banandium residue. You admonish him that he needs to floss more, he need to open wider, and his tongue is moving. You brace yourself for the blood about to spray from his gums.

Who are the top candidates for Nintendo of America's next president once Doug Bowser retires at the end of 2025? My uncles who work at Nintendo. 1. Ronald Tiki Tong 2. Walter Wizpig 3. Timothy Ghastly King 4. Gerald K. Roolenstein 5. Frederick Lord Fredrik (Uncle Stanley the Bugman works at SEGA.)

eh the hell with it

Me, after wrapping up talking about Donkey Kong Bananza’s Sublayer 1100 with @camreigle.bsky.social for the podcast and realizing we’ve gone for over four-and-a-half hours.

The Yooka-Replaylee demo is now out on Steam, PS5 and Xbox Series! AND GIVEAWAY TIME! 🎉 Play the demo, share your clips with us, and you could win a copy of the full game when it launches October 9th! Show off your best platforming moves!

One week after it arrived on Xbox Series X/S, Playtonic has released the Yooka-Replaylee Demo on PlayStation 5. It's also returned to Steam, this time with much-needed stability fixes and Steam Deck support!

The #Kongversation will be ready to rumble when our Donkey Kong Bananza discussion takes Cameron and me to Sublayer 1100! There, a long-awaited reunion unfolds as DK stumbles upon Diddy and Dixie Kong... and the promise of an unreleased DKU racing game!

Me, when I surmise that there’s profound philosophical, sociological, and existential commentary to be found in a Donkey Kong world.

BREAKING: Nintendo fires Funky Kong for ‘insensitive’ comments following DLC pricing concerns

You know those stats on how people spend weeks or months of their lives waiting at stoplights? My crazy cumulative life figure is going to end up being time spent listening to all the various Gangplank Galleon remixes 🎧

Donkey Kong Country 2025

Two months later. 141 hours in. I've beaten it. Donkey Kong Bananza is second only to Donkey Kong Country 2. But Donkey Kong Country 2 is retroactively an even better game BECAUSE Donkey Kong Bananza exists. I'll have way more (spoiler-filled) thoughts in the days, weeks, and months ahead...

Take me home, Donkey Kong Country roads. DK has returned to the Isles with the all-new Donkey Kong Bananza: DK Island & Emerald Rush DLC, available RIGHT NOW.

Explore Donkey Kong’s home, DK Island, and push your skills to the limit in the fast-paced challenge of Emerald Rush in Donkey Kong Bananza: DK Island & Emerald Rush DLC! #NintendoDirect This paid DLC will be available later today on Nintendo eShop: ninten.do/6018sYyCu

The #Kongversation presents "The Elephant Kong" by @davidtlynch.bsky.social. What happens when DK gets a trunk, inhales some junk, and strips an entire spa in Bananza's Tempest Layer? Note: This episode only contains spoilers through the end of Sublayer 903. www.dkvine.com?p=podcasts&s...

DONKEY KONG BANANZA PAID DLC LATER TODAY! WE RETURN TO DONKEY KONG ISLAND! THEY'VE RECARVED THE FACE, FOLKS. #NintendoDirect

Donkey Kong’s big stupid Rare island face and the Kremling Jolly Roger side by side with Retro’s treehouse…all truly is right in the gaming world.
