The Duck’s first silly scoundrel debuted in 1994 with Rareware’s Donkey Kong Country.

Resonance: Krook’s March
I have Donkey Kong Country 2 on four different consoles, SNES, Wii, Wii U, and now the Switch. Needless to say, the game is a big deal to me. As I replayed the game for the umpteenth time on the Switch, I was reminded of just how amazing the game’s soundtrack is. In fact, this…
So Nintendo, Where’s That Donkey Kong Collection At?

We’ve already covered snowy levels and chilly characters in past years, so it’s high time we discussed eight chilly songs that will surely have you buttoning up your coats and seeking…
Listmas 2016: An Ode to Sidekicks
In this season of giving and good will towards all, it would only be fair for at least one Listmas list to give some attention to the oft under-appreciated sidekicks of gaming. It can be easy for said sidekicks to get lost within the shadow of the more famed hero of the game, but that…
Day 13: A Game I’ve Played More Than Five Times
Ah, back to the 30-day video game topics. Despite the obvious implication that this is only supposed to span the course of roughly a month, these posts have been taking me years to get through. Well, better get back to it. Right now, we’re only on day 13. The topic: a game I’ve played more…
