DK and Diddy get hyped for DKC1. DK tags in Diddy and Dixie for DKC2. Dixie falls into DKC3, sees the logo over her cousin Kiddy in a barrel, and her first response… is to burst into tears.

Donkey Kong having a park section and ports is really great and appreciated but as its one of my top (possibly #1) of my favorite Nintendo IPs i hooe this is all a build up to doing more with the big ape! Hopefully a new game! 🙏
Happy 30th anniversary to donkey Kong Country on the snes. I remember playing the game back in 1994 when I was 8 years old. It was a hard game at the time, now we can rewind mistakes on the switch.

hi Gabo2oo
This is animated like those all sprite art flash cartoons from the early 2010's and I can't get that fact out of my head
It's the upscaling effect. It didn't look like that on a CRT TV.
