Dixie Kong’s Triple Trophies!

The Idaho Crew will be headed to Resort Layer to give the customary run-through (or skip-through... or surf-through) of the latest Emerald Rush event in Donkey Kong Bananza! Watch them unlock the DK Coin and Kiddy Kong statues in Bobbing for Baubles at 8 PM EDT/5 PM PDT. www.twitch.tv/dkvine

ICYMI: Nintendo Music has added even more Free Roam selections from Mario Kart World, including new arrangements of music originating in Mario Kart 7! Yes, there's a Donkey Kong track in there. That's why you're being reminded about this from DK Vine.

The Lagoon Layer-based challenge, the first of two Emerald Rush events in August, kicks off today.

Kiddy Kong and the Virtual Boy are riding high this week. Maybe we should have fought for a more worthwhile cause for the last 30 years, but I’ll gladly take the win.

These previously unreleased Virtual Boy games are now available to play on Virtual Boy – Nintendo Classics for #NintendoSwitchOnline + Expansion Pack members: ☑️ ZERO RACERS ☑️ D-HOPPER

I planned to stagger DK Challenge throughout the summer, but since there are TWO Emerald Rush events to worry about this month, I didn't want to leave it all to the last minute! Anyway, since it's my headcanon that Cranky set these, I can once again say "Eat shit, Cranky."

Star Fox Command was released in Japan 20 years ago today! While it was perhaps an ignoble way to wrap up the "Dinosaur Planet Trilogy," I'll always admire its brazen gusto. If we're never getting a game set later in the timeline, at least it gave us several possible futures for the characters.

Donkey Kong Country 2 plushes this time - these marionette plush dolls were meant to be placed in your car, so they'd dangle around. @dkvine.com

Two days before we're Bobbing for Baubles in Bananza, we're Sailboating with Skinks in Sea of Thieves. Come bask in our weekly stream at 11 AM EDT/8 AM PDT (4 PM BST)! www.twitch.tv/dkvine

This is the happiest I've been in a long, long time. Get Muckety-Fucked. #DKChallenge

That Kiddy kong plush must be pretty rare! @dkvine.com

In just a bit, @newdaycharity.bsky.social will embark on a double dose of Donkey Kong! As part of their marathon to raise funds for the ACLU, they'll be streaming Donkey Kong Barrel Blast around 2 PM EDT/11 AM PDT (7 PM BST)! Then at 6 PM EDT, it's Donkey Kong Bananza! www.twitch.tv/newdaycharity

Grab your bananas, Kong aficionados! New Day Charity is back for another five straight days of streaming, this time raising money for the ACLU! It starts RIGHT NOW, and this Saturday they'll be playing a double dose of DK, streaming both Barrel Blast and Bananza! www.twitch.tv/newdaycharity

LEGO Donkey Kong Arcade is now available! It recreates a Donkey Kong arcade cabinet from 1981, letting you roll 21 barrels down the New Donk City construction site. Use the joystick and button to help Jumpman clear them, or let nature take its proper course and let the young Cranky Kong finally win.

In the theater to see Spider-Man: Bad Fur Day. Can’t wait to see Tom Holland piss on those fire imps!

During Nintendo's E3 1997 press conference, NOA's Howard Lincoln argued the case for the N64's success in the US market, showing a list of the top-selling video games (so far) in 1997. Hilariously, not only was Donkey Kong Country 3 on the list, but so was DKC2. More to come on the #Kongversation.

The universe taketh away Wonder Man Season 2, but giveth the Galactic Pinball soundtrack on Nintendo Music. So I'm pretty much breaking even this week.

Two previously unreleased Virtual Boy games are coming to Virtual Boy – Nintendo Classics for #NintendoSwitchOnline + Expansion Pack members on Aug 4! ☑️ ZERO RACERS ☑️ D-HOPPER

Playing DK Challenge when you’re in the severe anxiety stage of a Bipolar II episode? It makes you viscerally FEEL every second of the Muckity-Muck battle, like you’re really getting toxic slug sludge spit all over your quivering body. Highly recommended!

Conker: Live & Reloaded's marvellous fuzz launching on XBOX Backward Compatibility on PC last week led to @steveburkemusic.bsky.social unearthing this recording session for the 2005 game, featuring young @robinbeanland.bsky.social own marvellous fuzz! Enjoy this rare peek behind the curtain...

On the next #Kongversation, I'll be joined by @geekcritique.org as we comb through @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social's recent E3 file dump, discussing some of our favorite historical finds from the Donkey Kong Universe and the glory days of the Nintendo/Rare partnership!

Billionaires are literally just doing the plot of Yooka-Laylee now.

No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.
