I öster, där solen går upp, finns nu ett helt nytt avsnitt av Speljuntan. I det pratar vi om glatt AI-användande, strejk i godisfabriken och om att axla huvudrollen i någon annans karriärskulmen. När dammet lagt sig tittar tre generaler ut över slagfältet och går igenom vad som spelats sen sist (som man ju gör?!). Susanne har varit pusselanalfabet i avantgardistiska Phonopolis. Elisabeth har dualwieldat AAA; klorna ute i Marvel's Wolverine och schackhjärnan på i Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave. Anton å sin sida har passat spelfacklan vidare och grävt fram sin SNES från källaren, blåst i kassetten och känt sitt föräldrahjärta slå ett par extra slag. Vill du få generalernas hjärtan att slå?

En este nuevo episodio de **Rejugando: Aquellos Maravillosos Años** nos sentamos con David Canela, diseñador, director de videojuegos y una de las figuras que mejor pueden contar desde dentro cómo ha evolucionado la industria española del videojuego durante las últimas décadas. Una conversación que empieza viajando a **1995 y 1998**, dos años fundamentales para David como jugador, y que termina convirtiéndose en un auténtico recorrido por la historia reciente del desarrollo de videojuegos en España. **1995: Super Nintendo, recreativas y los primeros grandes recuerdos** David nos cuenta cómo consiguió su Super Nintendo después de ahorrar 25.000 pesetas, sus primeros juegos —Mario All-Stars, Fatal Fury Special y Earthworm Jim 2— y cómo tener un amigo trabajando en un videoclub podía convertirse, literalmente, en disponer de un auténtico *dealer* de videojuegos. Hablamos deChrono Trigger, Yoshi's Island, Donkey Kong Country 2, Rayman, Panzer Dragoon, Mortal Kombat 3, Virtua Fighter 2 y muchos más. También repasamos la música, el cine y la televisión de mediados de los 90, desde Robert Miles hasta Friends, Expediente X, Médico de Familia o Farmacia de Guardia. Y, por supuesto, aparece uno de los grandes recuerdos de aquella época: Dragon Ball Z: Super Butoden 2, los cartuchos para jugar a versiones japonesas, los trucos transmitidos de amigo a amigo y ese código que muchos llevamos grabado en la memoria muscular. **1998: el año en el que todo explotó** La segunda fecha elegida por David es 1998, y aquí la lista de clásicos resulta sencillamente descomunal: **The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Metal Gear Solid, Half-Life, Resident Evil 2, Gran Turismo, StarCraft, Banjo-Kazooie, Tekken 3, Grim Fandango, Baldur's Gate...** Un repaso a un año irrepetible y a cómo se vivían entonces los lanzamientos, las esperas, las importaciones y el descubrimiento de nuevas generaciones de videojuegos. David recuerda especialmente aquel verano en el que consiguió su **PlayStation**, el mando DualShock, las demos de las revistas y, finalmente, **Final Fantasy VII**, un juego que terminaría marcando profundamente su relación con los videojuegos. ️ **De programador a diseñador y director** Pero esta entrevista va mucho más allá de la nostalgia. David Canela repasa sus comienzos en el desarrollo, su formación como ingeniero informático, uno de los primeros másteres de desarrollo de videojuegos y su evolución desde la programación hacia el **game design, level design y dirección**. Hablamos de proyectos cancelados como **Cops**, de lo que realmente se aprende cuando un videojuego no llega a publicarse y de las dificultades de trabajar entre programación y diseño. También aparecen sus experiencias en **Gameloft**, Real Football, el desarrollo para Facebook, proyectos para móviles y otros trabajos que muestran una realidad de la industria que pocas veces vemos desde fuera. **Rime: cuatro años para hacer realidad un proyecto especial** David nos cuenta cómo vivió el desarrollo de **Rime**, las discusiones internas, las dudas sobre el ritmo y la recepción que tendría un juego tan particular y pausado. Una parte especialmente interesante para conocer qué ocurre dentro de un estudio cuando un proyecto en el que llevas años trabajando está a punto de llegar al público. ☁️ **Google Stadia, Gylt y League of Legends** También hablamos de **Gylt**, del salto a la dirección y de lo que supuso desarrollar un videojuego para **Google Stadia**. David explica qué cree que hizo mal Google con Stadia y reflexiona sobre los modelos de negocio, la paciencia de las grandes compañías y el futuro de la industria. Después llega otra experiencia enorme: trabajar con una licencia como **League of Legends** en **Song of Nunu**, y lo que supone desarrollar dentro de un universo con millones de jugadores. **Tuned In: una televisión maldita y el nuevo proyecto de David Canela** La parte más actual de la entrevista nos lleva hasta **Vercore Games** y su nuevo proyecto, **Tuned In**. Un videojuego de terror nacido de una idea tan sencilla como inquietante: **una televisión maldita que atrapa a quien la enciende y utiliza sus propios traumas para torturarlo**. David nos explica cómo nació el concepto, la inspiración en las antiguas televisiones de tubo y aquellas historias sobre señales misteriosas que aparecían al sintonizar determinados canales. Pero la propuesta va mucho más allá: decisiones narrativas, diferentes finales, minijuegos y una mecánica construida alrededor de unos controles extremadamente sencillos. Y sí: hablamos también de la espectacular televisión de madera que el equipo llevó a Gamescom, convertida literalmente en el mando del videojuego. El prólogo de Tuned In ya está disponible gratuitamente en Steam y el equipo trabaja con la vista puesta en un lanzamiento previsto para 2027. **La industria del videojuego, antes y ahora** En la recta final hablamos de algo que da para otra entrevista entera: ¿está mejor la industria ahora que cuando nos enamoramos de los videojuegos? David reflexiona sobre el avance tecnológico, la pérdida de impacto de los saltos generacionales, la proliferación del modelo free-to-play, la creatividad, el riesgo y esa sensación de descubrimiento que acompañaba a juegos como Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil o Super Mario World. Y terminamos con nuestras preguntas rápidas: juegos favoritos, bandas sonoras, videojuegos que abandonó, juegos que ha terminado decenas de veces, placeres culpables, títulos que borraría de su memoria y, por supuesto, qué videojuego haría David Canela si tuviera libertad absoluta, 30 personas y cuatro años de presupuesto. Una conversación larga, personal y llena de historias sobre videojuegos, desarrollo, industria, nostalgia y futuro.

How do you preserve physical video games in a world increasingly designed around downloads? How much would you pay for a really good keyboard? And what exactly happens when you sort the Nintendo Switch store from cheapest to most expensive? Those questions—and several much stranger ones—come up on AwesomeCast 794 with Sorg, Katie Dudas, and Dave Podnar. Xbox Finds a New Use for the Game Disc One of the episode's biggest discussions centers on Microsoft's Xbox Discs to Digital initiative. The concept offers an interesting middle ground between physical and digital ownership. A supported Xbox disc can be authenticated and connected to a player's digital library, potentially giving players digital access while the disc itself continues to function as the transferable proof of ownership. That last part is important. If the disc is sold and authenticated by somebody else, the digital access moves with it. For Sorg, who has stacks of Xbox One games and a console with a failed optical drive, this could solve a very practical problem. It also opens possibilities for finding inexpensive used Xbox games at stores such as GameStop and turning them into accessible digital titles. There are still questions surrounding Xbox 360 compatibility, licensing, sports games, delisted games and publisher participation, but it is a fascinating attempt to bridge two very different eras of game ownership. https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/08/26/your-discs-now-also-digital/?ocid=Platform_soc_omc_xbo_fb_Photo_lrn_8.26.2 Gamers Say They Want Physical Games. Are They Buying Them? That question carries directly into this week's ChachiSays Video Game Minute. Chachi points to figures showing U.S. spending on physical video games falling to levels not seen since physical-game statistics began being tracked in 1995. Nintendo represented a sizable portion of the remaining physical market. The contradiction is hard to ignore: gamers regularly criticize publishers for abandoning physical media, but those products need enough buyers to justify continuing to manufacture and distribute them. https://www.tomshardware.com/video-games/console-gaming/us-console-sales-fall-39-percent-in-july-as-memory-costs-push-average-price-to-542 Generative AI Comes to Gamescom Chachi also discusses reports of generative AI being used during development of multiple titles connected to Gamescom 2026. The larger concern is not simply whether AI tools exist inside game development. The segment focuses on how companies disclose that use, what work the systems replace, and whether developers are being transparent with their audiences. Project Zeta, Aion 2, Train Sim World 7, Crimson Desert and Crazy Taxi: World Tour are among the games brought up during the discussion. https://kotaku.com/opening-night-live-2026-genai-slop-games-geoff-keighley-2000728477 Roku City Quietly Remembers Three Entertainment Icons Katie highlights a much more thoughtful use of technology: the little visual Easter eggs hidden inside Roku City. The screensaver incorporated imagery referencing Dolly Parton and Tim Curry along with an Optimus Prime-inspired tribute to Peter Cullen. That leads the crew into memories of Cullen's massive voice-acting career and the strange experience of realizing, years later, just how many familiar childhood characters were voiced by the same small group of performers. https://www.instagram.com/p/DcrPR8alYG3/?img_index=1 From Hubble to the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Dave's Awesome History segment turns toward NASA and astronomer Nancy Grace Roman. Roman played an important role in pushing space-based astronomy forward, helping lay the groundwork for what ultimately became the Hubble Space Telescope. The telescope carrying her name represents another enormous leap in what astronomers can observe. The hosts discuss its much wider field of view, the search for exoplanets, dark matter and dark energy, as well as the unusual orbital environments used by major observatories. https://www.planetary.org/articles/the-nancy-grace-roman-space-telescope-launch It's Already LEGO Advent Calendar Season Katie has an annual public-service announcement: if you want a particular Advent Calendar, buy it when you see it. LEGO's 2026 calendars are already appearing, including traditional Christmas offerings alongside Star Wars, Marvel and Disney sets. Waiting until December is how you end up frantically checking every store in town for the one calendar somebody decided they absolutely had to have. https://www.lego.com/en-us/search?q=advent%20calendar%202026&suggestion=true The $100,000 Keyboard Dave then discovers a corner of technology that makes even premium mechanical keyboards look inexpensive. A social video begins with keyboards priced in the hundreds of dollars, moves into models costing thousands, and eventually reaches one sitting around the $100,000 mark. At that point, calling something a “computer accessory” may no longer adequately explain what is happening. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1593262308558803 Brütal Legend Honors Tim Curry for 666 Minutes Double Fine found an extremely appropriate way to honor Tim Curry by making Brütal Legend free for 666 minutes. The Xbox 360-era heavy-metal adventure stars Jack Black and features Curry among its memorable cast. Sorg recently returned to the game and found that, despite showing its age in places, it remains surprisingly enjoyable. https://www.ign.com/articles/double-fine-productions-makes-brutal-legend-free-for-666-minutes-to-honor-tim-curry?link_source=ta_first_comment&taid=6a905803b9a113000189638d&utm_campaign=trueAnthem:+Trending+Content&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=facebook Donkey Kong Country: CGI From Another Time Speaking of things that have aged differently, Sorg rediscovers the computer-animated Donkey Kong Country television series from the late 1990s. The show provides an incredible time capsule of early television CGI: stiff animation, questionable lip synchronization and character models that can occasionally drift into nightmare territory. And yet there is something fascinating about seeing what creators were able to accomplish with 1990s rendering technology. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWpI4vahfIY Sort the Nintendo eShop From Cheap to Expensive. You Have Been Warned. There is another kind of digital archaeology available right now. Go to the Nintendo Switch store. Sort everything from lowest price to highest. Start scrolling. The result is a journey through inexpensive retro games, indie releases, zombie games, cat games, simulators, dating games, suspiciously AI-looking artwork and enough shovelware to keep the AwesomeCast crew entertained far longer than expected. There are legitimate bargains hiding in the pile—but finding them is part of the adventure. https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/sales-and-deals/#show=0&p=1&sort=pa&f=priceRangeFilter&priceRangeFilter=%240+-+%244.99 Commodore 64 Meets Cyberpunk The episode's final major retro-tech rabbit hole comes courtesy of a Cyberpunk-themed Commodore 64. The unusual crossover sends Katie and Dave back into memories of the original beige Commodore machines, while Dave recalls using GEOS for word processing and schoolwork long before the modern Windows experience became standard. https://commodore.net/store/commodore64/ Plus: Giant Medals, Slow USB-C Cables and Video Game Wrestling Dave also shows off the giant magnetic medals earned through the Pro Football Hall of Fame virtual race series. https://runsignup.com/Race/OH/Canton/HOFRaceSeries Katie introduces what may become a recurring feature, “What Is Katie Labeling Now?”, after discovering one of her USB-C cables was charging her laptop dramatically slower than the others. And before any of that, the crew revisits Sorgstock and its real-life video game wrestling match, where the performers recreated all of the awkward movement, button mashing, missed attacks and controller confusion of playing a wrestling game when nobody remembers the controls. From the future of game ownership to 1980s computers and $100,000 keyboards, AwesomeCast 794 once again proves there is always something wonderfully strange happening in technology.

Pyrrhic Kong (Designing For) returns to the show to try to find the commonality that makes the modern Donkey Kong character so appealing to generations of fans. Is there any consistency in the portrayal and gameplay mechanics of the heir to the 1980s arcade legend? Did what Rare intend for the character hold up over the years? Can we make sense of the times the character felt lost? And why has Bananza's depiction of DK been so pleasing to the majority of his fans?

Het is 1994 als Donkey Kong Country op de SNES verschijnt. Rare krijgt de kans om Nintendo's bekende aap nieuw leven in te blazen en doet dat op een manier die destijds behoorlijk indrukwekkend was. Met zijn opvallende graphics, herkenbare soundtrack en uitdagende platformactie groeit de game uit tot een van de grote klassiekers van […]

In this episode of JJ Meets World, JJ and Tucker take a nostalgic, chaotic trip through Super Nintendo games, Super Punch-Out, '90s child stars, Macaulay Culkin, Elijah Wood, The Good Son, Richie Rich, The Pagemaster, Streets of Rage, Donkey Kong Country, and morbid family humor. The episode begins with a friendly debate about Super Punch-Out for the Super Nintendo, including Gabby Jay knockout times, Nintendo Power dreams, Chrissy Gordon's impossible six-second record, and whether JJ and Tucker should create a 48-hour leaderboard challenge with screenshots, matching Nintendo Switch hardware, and an Applebee's prize for the winner. From there, JJ and Tucker talk about retro gaming, SNES controllers for Nintendo Switch Online, classic arcade-style pattern recognition, Mike Tyson's Punch-Out, Streets of Rage, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time, Sunset Riders, Donkey Kong Country, and the strange cultural stereotypes baked into some classic video game characters. Then the conversation takes a sharp turn into The Good Son, the 1993 psychological thriller starring Macaulay Culkin and Elijah Wood. JJ walks Tucker through the movie's disturbing plot, including Henry's manipulation, Mr. Highway, the crossbow, the ice-skating scene, the bathtub revelation, the cliff ending, and the brutal final choice between saving a nephew or a son. JJ and Tucker also discuss why The Good Son was controversial in the 1990s, how Macaulay Culkin's father reportedly helped push him into the role after Home Alone 2, and why audiences were anxious about seeing one of the world's most famous child actors play a child killer. That leads into a bigger conversation about child star fame, including Macaulay Culkin, Elijah Wood, Daniel Radcliffe, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Abigail Breslin, Mickey Rooney, Shirley Temple, and what it means for a kid actor to become a full cultural phenomenon. The episode wraps with memories of Richie Rich, The Pagemaster, the "Dad not found" computer line, dead-parent humor, rejected Christmas card ideas, and the weirdly healing power of making a very dark joke with exactly the right person.

Cette semaine, on se remet sur le piton en essayant d'oublier les nouvelles des dernières semaines concernant Sony et Xbox, tout en ayant une pensée pour nos collègues chez Bethesda Montréal. On discute aussi des regrettés Sam Neil et Satoru Iwata, alors que ce dernier avait quand même prédit la situation actuelle de l'industrie. Pour se remonter le moral, je vous parle de l'application Nintendo Music, qui m'a permis de tourner la page sur Spotify grâce à son catalogue bien garni des classiques de Koji Kondo et cie! Puis en impressions rétro, on retourne en 1993 avec Donkey Kong Country, le chef-d'œuvre de platforming signé Rare qui a dominé le début de la guerre du 32-bits à lui seul! Est-ce que le jeu est encore intéressant aujourd'hui ou est-ce que son look époustouflant pour l'époque ne tient plus la route? En question, on discute beaucoup de DKC et sa musique, mais aussi de mes fruits préférés, des rumeurs à l'époque du N64, de ma collection, Christopher Nolan, Switch 2 et bien plus encore!

Broadcast live on https://www.twitch.tv/dkvine on July 9th, 2026, Hyle and Dustin honor the 45th anniversary of the original Donkey Kong game! We discuss ho the series has rebuilt itself since the 40th anniversary, while examining how Donkey Kong Bananza has helped recontextualize the arcade roots with the Donkey Kong Country games. Then we ask what do the next 45 years look like for the franchise, sharing some bold predictions between now and 2071!

Donkey Kong Country não foi apenas um jogo, foi o milagre técnico que provou que o Super Nintendo ainda era o rei em uma era de transição. Ao transformar um vilão clássico dos arcades em um herói carismático, a Rare e a Nintendo entregaram uma jornada visualmente revolucionária, vibrante e mecanicamente impecável.Neste episódio, atravessamos selvas, minas e geleiras para discutir como gráficos pré-renderizados mudaram a indústria para sempre. Exploramos a genialidade imersiva da trilha sonora de David Wise, as mecânicas de ritmo e precisão que definem o gameplay, e os bastidores de um desenvolvimento insano que levou o hardware de 16 bits ao seu limite absoluto.Prepare seus barris, cuide do seu estoque de bananas e cuidado para não ser mordido por um jacaré pelo caminho. Afinal, nem toda lenda precisa de 32 bits para ser imortal.E aí… vai fazer 101% na Ilha Kong hoje?--------------------------------------------------------------------O Vai Logar Hoje? é um podcast dedicado ao universo dos videogames e ao cotidiano dos hosts Erick e Marko.Você pode acompanhar o VLH nas principais plataformas:Spotify: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/5FyK9NuRJnPIbwI7ncPSBB⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/vai-logar-hoje/id1529269985⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Siga também as redes sociais do podcast e faça parte da comunidade:Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://instagram.com/vailogarhoje⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@VaiLogarHoje⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website oficial: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.vailogarhoje.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apoie o projeto e tenha acesso a conteúdos exclusivos:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://apoia.se/vaiapoiarhoje⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Para entrar em contato, enviar sugestões ou propostas, utilize o e-mail oficial: vailogarhoje@outlook.com

En 2006 en France, le ministère de la Culture reconnaissait les jeux vidéo comme la dixième forme d'expression artistique. Vingt ans plus tard, la Philharmonie de Paris leur consacre une exposition, « Video Games & Music », qui retrace l'histoire de la musique de jeux vidéo devenue un phénomène mondial en à peine un demi-siècle. De simples « bips » dans le jeu Pong, de la pop dans Just Dance, de l'opéra dans Final Fantasy, Beethoven dans Resident Evil ou encore les Daft Punk dans Fortnite… La « Video Games & Music », ou VGM pour les connaisseurs, dépasse largement le simple divertissement. Elle incarne une culture du jeu vidéo partagée entre générations et à travers le monde. À la Philharmonie de Paris, l'exposition « Video Games & Music » présente consoles de jeux, dessins de personnages, instruments, portraits de compositeurs, mais aussi vingt-neuf jeux jouables pour le public. La musicologue et archiviste Fanny Rebillard, co-commissaire de l'exposition : « L'objectif, ça a été vraiment de ne laisser personne dehors, d'essayer de parler à la fois aux fans qui ont une connaissance très fine du jeu vidéo, et de la musique, parce qu'on sait que ces gens existent et qu'ils ont très envie de voir leur connaissance reconnue et célébrée. Mais on a aussi voulu s'adresser aux personnes qui accompagnent ces fans ou qui ont un intérêt, une curiosité pour le jeu vidéo, qui se disent : "Tiens, c'est bizarre, pour moi la musique de jeu vidéo, c'est des bips, bips insupportables, qu'est-ce qu'on peut avoir à dire là-dessus ?" » Difficile à définir comme un genre musical tant elle est plurielle. La musique de jeux vidéo va des ambiances contemplatives électro aux mélodies symphoniques, en passant par le rap, le rock ou le « chiptune », ces sons synthétisés en temps réel créés par les puces sonores des consoles. À lire aussi«Video Games & Music», une exposition sur la musique de jeux vidéo L'univers du gaming sans cesse redéfini par le son Dès 1985, le compositeur Koji Kondo introduit une musique interactive dans le jeu Super Mario Bros. Une mélodie principale quand le personnage de Mario court, des arpèges quand il grandit, un glissando ascendant quand il rebondit sur un ennemi et une cadence conclusive pour la ligne d'arrivée. Une prouesse technique à une époque où la technologie restait limitée.  « La plus grosse problématique, c'était le fait qu'il y avait très peu d'outils pour visualiser. Par exemple, le fait de prendre un clavier MIDI et de le brancher à un ordinateur, ça n'existait pas. Donc, eux, ils avaient leur piano d'un côté, leur clavier, et ensuite, ils devaient tout programmer. Donc, ils devaient connaître le langage hexadécimal, le basique, tous les langages de programmation qui ont émergé à cette époque. C'était un travail que David Wise, le compositeur de Donkey Kong Country, raconte d'ailleurs dans l'exposition. C'est-à-dire qu'il y a un morceau, « Aquatic Ambience », qui est un de ses tubes, encore aujourd'hui c'est planétaire, et ça lui a pris cinq semaines de saisir les données », explique Fanny Rebillet. Pensée comme un jeu vidéo, la scénographie de l'exposition laisse les visiteurs libres de choisir leur progression d'une salle à l'autre, d'un monde virtuel à l'autre. Une manière de célébrer la « Video Games & Music » comme un patrimoine culturel contemporain, alors que quarante millions de Français se déclaraient joueurs en 2025.

fWotD Episode 3339: Donkey Kong Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Friday, 26 June 2026, is Donkey Kong.Donkey Kong is a video game series and media franchise created by the Japanese game designer Shigeru Miyamoto for Nintendo. It follows the adventures of Donkey Kong, a large, powerful gorilla, and other members of the Kong family of simians. Donkey Kong games include the original arcade game trilogy by Nintendo R&D1; the Donkey Kong Country series by Rare and Retro Studios; and the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series by Nintendo Software Technology. Various studios have developed spin-offs in genres such as edutainment, puzzle, racing, and rhythm. The franchise also incorporates animation, printed media, theme parks, and merchandise.Miyamoto designed the original 1981 Donkey Kong to repurpose unsold arcade cabinets following the failure of Radar Scope (1980). It was a major success and was followed by the sequels Donkey Kong Jr. (1982) and Donkey Kong 3 (1983). Nintendo placed the franchise on a hiatus as it shifted focus to the spin-off Mario franchise. Rare's 1994 reboot, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) game Donkey Kong Country, reestablished Donkey Kong as a major Nintendo franchise. Rare developed Donkey Kong games for the SNES, Game Boy, and Nintendo 64 until it was acquired by Microsoft in 2002; subsequent games were developed by Nintendo, Retro Studios, Namco and Paon. After Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (2014), the franchise went on another hiatus until Donkey Kong Bananza (2025).The main Donkey Kong games are platform games in which the player must reach the end of a level. Donkey Kong appears as the antagonist or protagonist; his role alternates between games. The original games featured a small cast of characters, including Donkey Kong, Mario, and Pauline. Rare's games expanded the cast with friendly Kongs alongside the Kremlings, an army of antagonistic crocodiles led by Donkey Kong's nemesis King K. Rool. Mario, the protagonist of the 1981 game, became Nintendo's mascot and the star of the Mario franchise, and Donkey Kong characters appear in Mario games such as Mario Kart, Mario Party, and Mario Tennis. Donkey Kong characters also feature in crossover games such as Mario & Sonic and Super Smash Bros.Outside of video games, the franchise includes the animated series Donkey Kong Country (1996–2000), a themed area in Super Nintendo World at Universal's theme parks, soundtrack albums, and Lego construction toys. Donkey Kong is one of Nintendo's bestselling franchises, with more than 65 million copies sold by 2021. The original game was Nintendo's first major international success; it rescued Nintendo of America from a financial crisis, and established it as a prominent force in the video game industry. The franchise has pioneered or popularized concepts such as in-game storytelling and pre-rendered graphics, inspired other games (including clones), and influenced popular culture.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:16 UTC on Friday, 26 June 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Donkey Kong on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Aditi.

It's DK Vine on DK Challenge! Hyle and Dustin discuss the time-limited Switch 2 event for Nintendo Switch Online members, swapping stories about the most difficult of the lot and asking if this counts as an actual Donkey Kong game. And if it does, where and how does it fit into the lore of the Donkey Kong Universe? (Yes, Hyle has a long-winded answer.)

It finally happened. After years of aerial photographs, land speculation, and breathless anticipation, Mike and EB walk through the gates of Universal Epic Universe — and it does not disappoint.   Well, mostly. Stardust Racers is still closed, Yoshi's Adventure is aggressively just a Yoshi that meanders, and someone on Twitter says the whole thing might need to be torn down. But other than that? Top five park day. Tom from Louisville said so himself, and Tom from Louisville has been to a lot of parks.   Mike and EB go portal by portal through the whole thing — 1920s Paris at Ministry of Magic (280-minute wait; they waited 20. We said what we said.), Le Cirque Arcanus with the magic tent that's bigger on the inside, Bowser's Challenge being better than advertised, Donkey Kong Country being exactly as fun as a cartoon mine cart should be, Hiccup's Wing Gliders being a surprise contender for ride of the trip, and Monsters Unchained delivering actual honest-to-God jump scares in a theme park.   They also discovered that the Burning Blade Tavern serves drinks in a beaker with what may or may not be microplastics in it. It was delicious.   Plus: Seven Six Flags parks are sold for $342 million — less than the cost of a highway overpass. Disney's parks get a new worldwide president, and they hope he lives long enough to be a hero. Muppet Vision 3D is going to VR, a decision that exactly zero people are satisfied with. And Barracuda Strike opens at SeaWorld San Antonio — the family invert where the artwork shows the track going underwater, but the track does not go underwater.

We have one more game to discuss in our 2D platformer category and that game is Donkey Kong Country, developed by Rare and released in 1994 for the Super Nintendo. Donkey Kong Country is a critically acclaimed title that re-established Donkey Kong as a major Nintendo franchise. It received perfect scores from many reviewers but do we agree with the masses? Listen now to hear our thoughts!For the poll this week the brothers are asking which animal buddy from Donkey Kong Country would you rather have on your side - Rambi the Rhinoceros, Engarde the Swordfish, or Winky the Frog?Follow us onX @BrosBossBattlesYouTube @BrosBossBattlesInstagram @BrosBossBattleshttps://brothersandbossbattles.com/

This is my go-to Christmas game, it's a masterpiece, and in a lot of ways it's superior to Mario's SNES work.You all know how this game works. You play as Donkey and Diddy Kong, you're trying to get your bananas back, and you jump in a lot of barrels. The platforming in DKC is superb, the music is fire, and the level variety keeps the game fresh the whole way through.And the graphics? Get outta here...Captain N of the Retrotopia podcast joins me this week and we had a great time talking a great game. I don't know how anyone with a soul could not love this game, and aside from a couple minor gripes, we spent most of our hour together about just how special of game this is.And before we get stuck in barrels, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!This week someone brings up a promise I made re: Ecco the Dolphin, we talk about the must-play PS5 titles for anyone getting a system for Christmas this year, and if 'Blank Man' was a robot master, what would he be all about?Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 retro titles developed by Rare: Blast Corps, Battletoads in Battlemaniacs, and Killer Instinct.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Out of the 24 (Krocodile) core, singular characters in the game, how does the cast of Donkey Kong Country 2 rank? Hyle and Jeff put the Kongs, Animal Buddies, Bosses, and other errant notables of Diddy's Kong Quest through Tier Maker to see how they stack up to each other... using only the criteria of their performance and presentation up to that point in history!

Just as Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest improved on the original in numerous ways, so too did its classic instruction booklet! Once again written by Nintendo of America's Dan Owsen, with story by Rare newcomer Leigh Loveday, it's 30-plus pages of immersive table setting and subversive tablecloth pulling!

Jurandir Filho, Felipe Mesquita, Evandro de Freitas e Bruno Carvalho batem um papo sobre "Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!". O jogo é, sem dúvida, o capítulo mais injustiçado da trilogia clássica de jogos da franquia. Lançado em 1996, ele chegou tarde ao Super Nintendo, praticamente quando todos os holofotes já estavam voltados para o recém-nascido Nintendo 64 e para a febre tecnológica que vinham junto com ele. E isso, mais do que qualquer outra coisa, é o motivo principal de o jogo ter sido tão subestimado na época e até hoje.Apesar de carregar o peso de suceder dois clássicos gigantes, o terceiro jogo da série foi recebido com um certo ar de “cansaço” pelo público. Muitos não entenderam que a Rare estava, na verdade, tentando refinar e expandir a fórmula, não apenas repeti-la. O fato é que a direção de arte de DKC3 é uma das mais vibrantes da trilogia. O jogo aposta em cenários menos óbvios: florestas outonais, lagoas profundas, serrarias, usinas, fábricas abandonadas e até regiões montanhosas. É um jogo que parece outro capítulo da série, não só uma reedição dos anteriores.Ele é o título mais subestimado da trilogia e um dos melhores platformers do Super Nintendo.Esse é mais um episódio da nossa série Remakes!===NORDVPN | Tenha uma conexão segura e acesso conteúdos do mundo inteiro! https://nordvpn.com/99vidasALURA | Ressaca da Black Friday??!

Celebrating three decades of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest! Hyle and Dustin discuss how the second Donkey Kong Country game still holds up to this day, now made ever more relevant thanks to Donkey Kong Bananza.

Nintendo reignited the home video-game market with the Nintendo Entertainment System in the 1980s, but by the early 90s the Japanese game company found itself in an unexpected position: Player 2. The 1989 arrival of both Sega Genesis and Turbo Graphx 16 – more powerful machines, with aggressive marketing campaigns positioning themselves as the “radical” upstarts – officially kicked off the first wave of the console wars. Nintendo would answer with 1991's Super Nintendo, a sleek machine that would eventually be home to a slate of eye-popping games. Jumping from 8 bits to 16 encouraged developers to push the bounds of creativity. While the system would be unseated by the N64 after a mere five years, the SNES library features what are considered to be among the best entries in the company's line-up of original IP. So get ready to play with SUPER power as the Great Pop Culture Debate looks back at the Best Super Nintendo Game.Games discussed: Super Mario World, Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Chrono Trigger, Super Metroid, Final Fantasy III (Final Fantasy VI), Donkey Kong Country, Super Mario Kart, Mega Man X, Super Mario RPG, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time, Street Fighter II Turbo, Donkey Kong Country 2, Final Fantasy II (Final Fantasy IV), Secret of Mana, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Super Castlevania IVJoin host Eric Rezsnyak, GPCD panelists Curtis Creekmore and David Silbert (of the Punished Backlog), and guest panelist Erik Slader from the Super Switch Club podcast as they discuss and debate 16 of the most awesome Super Nintendo games.For the warm-up to this episode, in which we discuss even more Super Nintendo games that didn't make the bracket, become a Patreon supporter of the podcast today.Episode CreditsHost: ⁠Eric Rezsnyak⁠Panelists: ⁠Curtis Creekmore⁠, ⁠David Silbert⁠Special Guest: ⁠Erik Slader, Super Switch Club Podcast⁠Producer: ⁠Bob Erlenback⁠ Editor: ⁠Bob Erlenback⁠Theme Music: “Dance to My Tune” by Marc Torch#nintendo #supernintendo #snes #snesgames #snesgaming #videogames #supermarioworld #supermarioworld2yoshisisland #zelda #legendofzelda #alinktothepast #zeldalinktothepast #supercastlevania4 #finalfantasy #finalfantasyiii #finalfantasyii #donkeykong #donkeykongcountry #donkeykongcountry2diddyskongquest #supermariokart #mariokart #supermetroid #metroid #megaman #megamanx #streetfighter2 #chronotrigger #secretofmana #supermariorpg #tmnt #tmnt4 #videogames #90s #90sgamer #90sgamesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
