"Easy to spot thanks to the curl of hair on his head. If you missed that, the red 'DK' necktie also helps. He has a big frame— and big strength to match!" Whoa, whoa. Slow down, Nintendo. I didn't realize we'd have to take notes today.

reminding you all that one time Donkey Kong and Crash Bandicoot canonically teamed up together 👔🤝🩳 [REPOST]

The Idaho Crew recently visited Japan, gaining a firsthand look at Donkey Kong's enduring popularity in Nintendo's homeland. Along the way, they visited the Nintendo Museum, Super Nintendo World, secret speakeasies, and more! It's a special #Kongversation travelogue! www.dkvine.com?p=podcasts&s...

A reminder that our shop favorite "Play It Proud" shirt is available year-round! Wear your pride or show you're an ally in EXTREME 1995 style. (Multi-colored Game Boys and flannel overshirt not included.) Our cut of the profits always goes to @trevorproject.bsky.social! dkvine.com/merchandise

The Pirate Code | Article 1 - The Sea Calls To Us All - Everyone is welcome on the Sea of Thieves regardless of age, gender, race, sexuality, nationality or creed. The Progress Pride Flag is now available from Larinna for 1969 gold in participating territories 🏳️‍🌈

I don't want to alarm anybody, but there are SKELETONS in this Rare game. AAAHHH! Don't worry. We'll be taking care of them at 11 AM EDT/8 AM PDT (4 PM BST), if you care to watch. www.twitch.tv/dkvine

FIVE days until Switch 2 launches! If you need me, I’ll be laying on the Donkey Kong Bananza floor.

Sea of Thieves: Season 15, subtitled "Wild Things," was all about boosting the Hunter's Call. And like any proper fishing trip, our #Kongversation on it is all about sitting around, impatiently waiting to get to the point while consuming entirely too many beers... www.dkvine.com?p=podcasts&s...

What's the Donkey Kong situation like in Japan? The majority of the Idaho Crew (not a militia) recently experienced its robust DK fandom firsthand. On the next #Kongversation, I'll be joined by Adam and Andrew as they share their experiences at Super Nintendo World, the Nintendo Museum, and more!

Update: Shit still sucks.

Hands on the wheel – there’s only one week to go until #MarioKartWorld arrives on #NintendoSwitch2!

why are Democrats wasting millions trying to figure out how to "Speak to American Men" when a perfectly good Donkey Kong podcast already exists over at @dkvine.com ?

Is this soda vending machine in Donkey Kong Bananza just labeled with a generic "DRINK," or is it a fictional Pepper-style knockoff brand called "DR. INK?"

2020 watercolor art of Dixie Kong. This is one of my favorites!

One of the most fascinating untapped game pitches is a Diddy Kong Racing sequel where every returning character has a seething resentment toward Diddy Kong for living a relatively charmed life compared to how hard they've had it since 1997. A racing game where the spite exists before the first race.

With the most recent Nintendo Switch Online update, all games available on the service from Nintendo consoles or handhelds are listed out on a timeline. If a game was released on your birthday, you get a special cake emblem and a horrible reminder that you're ancient and irrelevant.

Three new features are coming to Nintendo 64, available to #NintendoSwitchOnline + Expansion Pack members on June 5! ☑️ Customizable controls ☑️ Rewind feature ☑️ CRT screen filter Watch to learn more about these updates: ninten.do/6016S9WLa

There will be a bonus #Kongversation this week and next! First, Jeff and I will chat about the just-completed Season 15 of Sea of Thieves, subtitled "Wild Things," which expanded the Hunter's Call and brought new Megalodons and abundant ambient wildlife across the sea. Did it make everything groovy?

The Idaho Crew is back from Japan, refreshed, relaxed, and feeling sexy enough to stream the Game Boy Advance version of Donkey Kong Country 3 at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT! Watch them and they’ll trade you that stupid yellow bird that keeps getting feathers in their hot tub. twitch.tv/dkvine

May 2016 old. Sailing around and just firing cannon at each other because there were no voyages old!

After Donkey Kong Country 2 cemented me as a lifelong fanatic, the first half of 1996 crawled by with no announcements. Imagine that. Six whole months not knowing when the next Donkey Kong game would be coming out! But somehow, I knew Rare would finish the SNES "trilogy" before doing an N64 DK game.
