Zelda direct thoughts: It's about time for Four Swords to make a comeback imo DK Bananza Zelda themed Emerald Rush??

THIS IS NOT A DRILL Donkey Kong Land got a remake! Kazquez remade all the DKL levels with new sprites, music and level design while still feeling really familiar with the source material. Check it out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-i3...

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

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.

A graphic detailing how many times the original Lylat Wars story and setting of Starfox has been revisited, and in what way. We go from the SNES original, to the 64 Reboot. The 64 game was remastered for the 3DS, reimagined on the Wii U, and remade on the Switch 2.

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

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

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...

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

By the way, what’s a AA?

Instead of fuzzy labels like 'indie' and 'AA', we propose a new data-driven system to classify video games based on their actual production scope. This new framework reveals the real economic and crea...
