It’s Donkey Kong Bananza time!

Have played a little bit, it’s really fun being a strong gorilla and destroying everything in the path!

I am only in the first world yet, well, the first proper world after the starting / tutorial one, so can’t say how the game progresses, but for now it’s really fun. Some things make it feel like a spin-off of Odyssey, like some UI elements and in some cases the bananas look very similar to Super Mario Odyssey moons. These things are minimal though, the gameplay itself is pretty different.

The biggest issue now is to keep Switch 2 away from the kids so that I can get the time to play it.

In the week leading to it, I had some itch for Donkey Kong, I ended up playing Donkey Kong Country 3 on the NES app. I generally play these games with certain rules about rewind and save states, but I knew I am never going to finish it soon if I do that, so this time I cheated fully, with excessive use of rewind, and finished the game in a few days.

Didn’t specifically rushed through the game, even tried to find any hidden items I could, and do as much of bonus stages as I could find, but it wasn’t a high priority.

Also, finished The Hong Kong Massacre, just had a few levels remaining, finished them in couple of sittings. After that when I tried to look up if devs have made any other game, I realised that Switch version looks pretty bad compared to other versions. Image quality is pretty low. Not that bad if you haven’t seen other versions, but still not great.

What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?
