Donkey Kong Bananza has been my favourite game of the year so far, but @playtonicgames.com's fantastic Yooka-Replaylee has made me realise the one thing that it was missing: @davidwise.bsky.social !

Here's a first look at the Minecraft DLC coming to #SonicRacingCrossWorlds later this October, via All Out Gaming on YouTube!

The first lap of the track features players racing across towns, bridges and ravines, eventually dodging fireballs from a Ghast through The Nether.

I'll never stop being happy that Donkey Kong Land 3 has a reference to Red Dwarf, of all things, right at the start.

You're 100% correct, and yet the GBA version still held a special place in my heart.

It's the Spark enemy from Donkey Kong Jr. flying in Mario's long-forgotten helicopter!

TIL an actor with the stage name of "Banana Ice" existed and he has exactly one acting credit.

It's exactly what you'd hope it'd be.

I wish I could be this cool.

Day 98 of #DonkeyKong art: The World of Light is Blinding. #AltersDoodleTag

King K. Rool, with a Smash invitation in his hand, walking off and waving goodbye to Krusha and Klump.
Klump: Bye, Your Majesty!
Krusha: BYYYEEE
K. Rool: After a while, crocodiles! I'll be back when I've kicked every butt!

Krusha and Klump stare happily at their departing King, although Klump looks like his smile is forced. After a moment he becomes worried.
Klump: You think he'll be ok?
Krusha (with his arm around Klump komfortingly): Don't be silly. It's just some tournament. He's been through a lot worse!

Text box that says "Soon".
K. Rool getting absolutely vaporized into dust by Galeem's light.

Important question for @rare.co.uk and @playtonicgames.com - since Bonboon's eat Jameleon's so that they can Romance Dance, does that mean Lanky would want to eat Yooka if he ever wanted to start a family?

I didn't realize Hubz of @gamingalexandria.bsky.social had scanned this Technopolis, August 1986 issue but I wanted to myself anyway because I find it so awesome that we have an early #zelda #manga showing a girl not just playing Link: but being Link!

Find both here: archive.org/details/zine...

2 pages of zelda manga from the original Legend of Zelda showing the comic's female main character as Link and giving a brief example of the game!

Regrettable that PlayTonic had to let go a bunch of staffers just a few months before this finally coming out. If a tightening of the belt was looming, would have been ideal if they could have delayed it till after this launch, to see if it moved the needle enough to avoid losing those jobs.

"WhErE's ThE ReLeAsE DaTe?!"

I love the sneaky Kazooie-esque wings on the back of the Banjo-looking shorts outfit, and the blink and you'll miss it appearance of the N64 style Yooka and Laylee in @playtonicgames.com's new Yooka-Replaylee trailer :)

My most probable main at the moment vs the main I'm hoping for

Donkey Kong fans who grew up with a Game Boy but not a SNES: Wow, how cool that they included a Donkey Kong Land 2 reference in Bananza.

I'm sold purely on the basis of how good the last two were. I also like that this might be the first truly Link-less game in the series, which is pretty cool.
