been meaning to post some stuff here, sorry for not being here in a while. I love these two so much <33333333 🩷🩵 #dkc #donkeykongbananza

Considering that Quiztone has apparently based their entire personality and lifestyle on Swanky Kong, do you think they collect everything Swanky throws away and flushes on the surface? You know, for their Swanky Shrine.

The real reason Donkey Kong stopped attending the Olympics with Mario and Sonic. (Although he doesn’t need hylauronic acid to expand dong, merely enough Bananergy to bust out the zebra proportions.)

I open up the Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase stream and rush to close the chat, but not before I see people screaming about their hope that Metroid Prime 5 and Breath of the Wild 3 get announced. I consider going back to bed.

Progress on artwork I'm making for a DK video. A stampede is coming 👁️👁️

I'm not proud of much, but I am proud that our website is not afraid to make you consider the most provocative questions in gaming.

My up-to-date Fangamer pin collection/vision board/conspiracy theory on video game shared universes!

My attachment to each Nintendo franchise, but it’s 25 years ago: ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Donkey Kong ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Banjo-Kazooie ❤️❤️❤️❤️🖤 Conker ❤️❤️❤️❤️🖤 Dinosaur Planet ❤️❤️❤️🖤🖤 Mario (mostly juiced because of the crossovers with the Kongs) ❤️❤️🖤🖤🖤 Killer Instinct ❤️❤️🖤🖤🖤 Pokémon ❤️🖤🖤🖤🖤 Zelda 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 Everything else

Depraved activities amongst the elites on a private island? No, don't worry. The Idaho Crew isn't reading from the files at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT. They'll be playing Super Mario Party Jamboree! But just like that other island, it's still a bit surprising that Diddy wasn't invited. www.twitch.tv/dkvine

Be like I was in 1996 and get this on the off-chance Rare makes Swanky Kong's Virtual Disco (a dream I had that prompted me to run out and buy the Virtual Boy days later).

According to Nintendo's Q3 financial report, Donkey Kong Bananza has sold 4.25 million copies in its first five-and-a-half months.

I’ve been fairly open in the past about living with Bipolar II. While the depressive episodes feel the worst, the most persistent symptom I deal with is anxiety. Life is just a near-constant level of stress. So what video games do YOU gravitate to when you’re frazzled and need an escape?

My reaction reading this is how Cranky must have felt when the boombox fell on his head.

Kameo20周年おめでとうございます！昨年の風邪の時からずっと調子悪くて、ラフ画程度のお祝い絵になっていまいました…本当におめでとうございます！

Wave 3 of the second series of Mario Kart World Switch Icons is available for the next week, including a new Icon of Donkey Kong in his All-Terrain gear! You know, the only alternate DK costume in the game, and one of the least remarkable DK looks of 2025. He doesn't even bother to grow a cloaca!

Thanks to all who replied! The sampling was more diverse than I was expecting and ranged from the early 1980s all the way to last year. What’s heartening is how little generational infighting there is within the Donkey Kong fandom these days. Despite the wildly different eras, Bananza united us.

It's Sea of Thieves Community Weekend! Join us at 11 AM EST/8 AM PST (4 PM GMT) as said community uses gunpowder kegs to blow us up repeatedly. You know, the same as every other weekend. In their defense, we do always drop a boombox on their head. www.twitch.tv/dkvine

A Rare sight 🐸🐻🐦‍🔥🐿️

Virtual Boy for Switch 2 is SOLD OUT in the year of our lord 2026

When did you become a Donkey Kong fan? Are you a 1981 girders-and-barrels baby? A 1994 Country kid? Did Donkey Kong 64, the GBA remakes, or the beat of the Bongo games lure you to the series? Were you part of the Returns and Tropical Freeze generation, or did you just come aboard with Bananza?

My first issue of Nintendo Power! I got it the day I picked up Donkey Kong Land. Within its coverage of the first E3, I discovered that Donkey Kong Country 2 was in development. They also went to Rare HQ (then Manor House) to explain the ACM rendering technique! A formative moment in my fandom!

If Tiny Kong could age, I don´t see why Kiddy couldn't do it too. So here's an attempt of skecth. #DonkeyKong

lmao Epstein was banned on Xbox Live

Quiet week, yeah? Yeah. We'll just present a thumbs-up to whatever happened via #FanArtFriday, once more from Instagram. The joyous Banjo and Kazooie with the aforementioned raised digit comes from jhonatasueg63, while the detailed @seaofthieves.com piece is by _martiist. Laters!

Nobody's got a bigger bone than his. #bugatheknut #conkersbadfurday #conker #fanart

Well, here is the actual evil and forbidden, unreleased scrapped drawing since you liked the sticker.

In retrospect, Donkey Kong is a terrible role model.

What’s the big deal? We now have the best Nintendo Partner Showcase on the 12th of every month.

"OOMANACKA".

I think Zelda historians call this “The Fallen Civilization Timeline,” but I’m no expert.

Looks like Yooka-Replaylee from @playtonicgames.com was updated to properly credit the first painting you encounter! ...Unfortunately, my name is still misspelled under my own painting.

Everyone talks about flying cars, hoverboards, and jetpacks, but when I was a kid, I really thought the year 2026 would consist of way more discussions about Conker’s rival Honker the Skunk.

From the archives! Here's an article written by @camreigle.bsky.social from 2019 that details the conflicting stories about Rare's purported, extremely short-lived Donkey Kong "project" for the Virtual Boy! The page has been newly updated to remove Twitter embeds. dkvine.com?p=games&page...

The Idaho Crew (pictured in the background boat) will once again be streaming Donkey Kong Country Returns on our Twitch channel at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT, but this time it'll be in HD... and with DX! Plus, they'll be arguing with Dustin about the top 26 DKU games of all time! www.twitch.tv/dkvine

The first new Sea of Thieves comic series since 2023 has dropped all of its issues today. Sea of Thieves: The Last Bite is a five-part WEBTOON exclusive written by Rare vet Chris Allcock and illustrated by longtime comic artist Rhoald Marcellius!

Sea of Thieves: The Last Bite is a new comic series created in collaboration with WEBTOON, which follows a fresh crew struggling with dwindling supplies while trying to reach the fabled pirate paradise! Download the app to learn more: https://webtoons.onelink.me/Jzmu/ww8f3a5q

Imagine the timeline where the Virtual Boy was a smashing success, and we eventually got different "Play it Loud!" color options to capitalize. Pictured here is the Banana Boy, bundled with 3Donkey Kong Land.

Zero Racers, the F-Zero game for the Virtual Boy that was completed but never released, is coming to NSO later this year. That's huge. It's times like these where I lament that Rare never did more than a small Donkey Kong Land demo on the VB. My eyes demand the strain.

Go back to the egg on February 17th, when Donkey Kong Bananza offers up Expresso the ostrich and Donkey Kong the ostrich as its in-game statue rewards for an Emerald Rush event in Forest Layer!

you like ice, bovino? well how do you like them ice

Your Nintendo Switch Online subscription has just paid for itself. Wave 2 of the new run of Mario Kart World Switch Icons is now live, including a background of DK Pass for 5 Platinum Points!

I do enjoy that my favorite Nintendo things, specifically Donkey Kong as an established powerhouse IP that celebrates its full history, Super Mario Bros. 2 characters who have fallen into generational obscurity, and the Virtual Boy, are all returning under the span of one year. Now to fix politics!

This is false. Paying $40 for a character in a mobile game would be foolish, a clear sign that I’m a mark who has lost control of practical decision-making and should have my financial freedom taken away from me. I paid $39.99 for Dixie Kong in Mario Kart Tour. Not one cent more!

I can't believe they've really scrapped production on The Super Mario Galaxy Movie for The Diddy Kong Racing DS Movie. Still, I can't deny that Daniel Day-Lewis as Bubbler the octopus is spot-on casting.

I'm in the middle of an all-day winter storm, but I'll still stream Sea of Thieves at 11 AM EST/8 AM PST (4 PM GMT) so long as freezing rain doesn't knock out my power! We'll attempt Act 2 of Season 18, which should go great so long as the volcanoes don't knock out our ship! www.twitch.tv/dkvine
