Behold the power of my fully operational next gen video game console! Now to resume playing games from the 1990s, a Wii game from 2010, an indie 2D basketball game, and Tetris.

Don't panic, but tomorrow is the world BEEmiere of the Yooka-Replaylee demo.

FedEx lost my copy of Mario Kart World in Pennsylvania! The updated tracking says it'll arrive within two to three weeks. But luckily, I went hiking in the mountains today and the forest provided. Thank you, Bear Spirits.

My Switch 2 arrived late in the evening and I have to be up early for my annual Bear Hike. Mario Kart World wasn’t shipped until an hour ago. But I did spend the day failing to dodge people wanting to show every inch of the game, so at least I felt helplessly bombarded in true Mario Kart fashion.

Broadcast live earlier today, @mattcornah.bsky.social and I kicked off the Switch 2 era with a leisurely #Kongversation about the Stinky Ape Summer ahead. The new console! Nintendo Directs! Xbox Showcases! And at the center of it all: Donkey Kong Bananza! www.dkvine.com?p=podcasts&s...

This year's Stinky Ape Summer gear is here! Stay cool in the Underground World with the t-shirt or tank top, or keep the subterranean sun out of your eyes with the hat! In the Southern Kremisphere? Layer the Well-Groomed New World Monkey Winter t-shirt, sweatshirt, and hat! dkvine.com/merchandise

DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas? LUTNICK: Generally 10% DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8% LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

In other news, a noted video game company has reportedly released a device capable of playing Donkey Kong-related software. Here's what we know so far.

The Switch 2 releases tomorrow, and we'll kick off Stinky Ape Summer 2025 with a special LIVE #Kongversation Thursday at 8 AM EDT/5 AM PDT (1 PM BST)! Join Matt and me as we embark on a new era of the DKU and preview the months ahead. The Summer of Donkey Kong starts here! www.twitch.tv/dkvine

In line for the Switch 2 and need to pass the time? Allow the #Kongversation to DUNK DUNK a new episode into your ears! Jeff and I give our first thoughts on Badgerhammer Games' wild basketballer... and also share our joint experiences playing the madcap monster mash! www.dkvine.com?p=podcasts&s...

There's one more bit of business we need to address before the launch of the Switch 2. We need to DUNK DUNK! On a bonus #Kongversation, Jeff and I will give our thoughts on the wacky sci-fi and horror-themed basketball game featuring some beloved characters. Is Dunk Dunk the new king of the court?

'Twas the days before Switch 2, on Thursday this week Not a creature was stirring, except for the Sneeks Krematoa to be raised from boulders said Bear, In hopes that the Idaho Crew soon would stream there At 8 PM ET get snug in your beds For Country 3 GBA streamed at your heads www.twitch.tv/dkvine

In a new interview with IGN, Mario Kart World Producer Kosuke Yabuki dances around the seeming absence of Diddy Kong at the game's launch. Yeah, we all know what's up, don't we?

"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

I HATE DONKEY WHO'S NEW DESIGN (artwork by @mattcornah.bsky.social!)

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?"
