@ShieldHero Sounds about right. 😁 Thanks for the heads up.

Well, that’s nice for them

Error alert: Both Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Nintendo Switch Sports can't have occupied #10 last week

@Samalik
DK Bananza has fully destructible environments and targets 60 FPS while Knack doesn't and struggles to maintain to maintain 60 FPS even on PS4 Pro, even though from what I've seen of it it's a standard platform. And it's a launch game as well.

I really like the official Nintendo case but I wasn’t paying $40. I ended up going with the PowerA case from Best Buy. Simple light grey exterior with a small Switch 2 logo. Slim but protective. Only $19.99. The mark-up to $40 for a lot of these case options is ridiculous.

Is the reviews situation going to be the same as Mario Kart?

Mario Kart World and 8 Deluxe doing the business on a global scale! Both titles ongoing success are an indication of how well their respective hardware is doing, long may it continue. Still saving for mine, slowly but surely 😅

@Maxz sounds like that's even more dangerous than just a Yakuza.

@The21zonz It's a cool game, but this is on a whole other level.

That was a goofy clip on the app. This will be an awesome game!

@Mana_Knight, I technically didn't think about that, since it was a quick joke I made up on the fly, but I'll make up something: they were doing it over text (not the greatest idea when making battle plans) and accidentally sent a message to me, with those exact same words. Based on the way the message sounded, I assumed it was from the Anti-Mario Kart World League, which had just sent one of its members wearing a black spy jumpsuit and cool sunglasses knocking on the door of my house back when the 1.1.2 update first happened. The shady dude invited me to join the League and I turned him down. If you ever see any other shady men in that kind of getup, you will now know what organization they are a part of. If you use that information, you might just survive in a post Mario Kart World society.

@Ultimapunch It was acceptable in 1998 when no one ever crafted a game like that, it's a very different situation in 2025 because any other system can deliver (and Astrobot actually delivered) more.

You can't have fun and smooth "playability" without stable performance. It's exactly what you should prioritize when graphics aren't the focus.

@dew12333 exactly! Selling cards in random packs is artificial scarcity and we deserve access to all of them. Someday those card printers will be offline.

DK Bananza 3 subliminally communicated, very clever.

Wait, there’s no way July is almost half over. In my head Bananza has been a month away for the past three months.

@rvcolem1 No!! They are preserving them...

@ShieldHero Where did you get access to the minutes of the meeting!? 🤣

Found the first one to be quite underwhelming beyond the first 3 hours (with the exception of one of the endings), with poor pacing and abysmal tonal sifhts poorly done.
Started the second one but it was even worse, lots of recycled content, and even more dumbed down.
Not interested in this third entry.

@michellelynn0976 Sooo… Donkey Kong 64 means nothing to you? /lh

Just say you are pirating the cards and half the people would defend this action.

No Switch 2's left around me. Won't have a chance to play DK until one is avaliable.

It feels like a real event title. I'm happy for DK., he finally has a 3D game up there with a 3D Mario game.

Gotta catch ‘em all

In the parallel universe I shifted here from, he is called Dunkey Kong.

@Willo567 in all fairness, this game is not rendering as many things as Knack. So I feel like those frame dips this game is going to experience needs to be ironed out

Great. Switch games so laggy that we had to wait for Switch 2 to play decently, and now we have to wait for Switch 3 to play Switch 2 ones (just look at the newest Hitman's game too). Perfect.

Is that tag a reference to Captain America: Civil War? Or a Pokemon? I dont really play the series haha

They are pushing this game hard. I hope it's as good as Odyssey, but since I didn't get S2 on launch, I will wait for some special edition, then Kong shall be mine

Cute clip! Hopefully, everyone who plays Donkey Kong Bananza enjoys it a lot! It looks like a good game!

"Mario Kart World is gonna be the new Mario Kart 8 deluxe, even with all of us good people people complaining on the internet about this game! The force of people that aren't constantly on the internet 24/7 is unstoppable with our current power! We need a new battle plan!" - some Anti-Mario Kart World League higher-up 😆

@Oakview80
That's because your controller is brand new. This is about how unnecessary hard it is to repair, if things break.
Having to dig through the controller, to get to the battery, is just stupid. Nintendo used to have easy access, to replace batteries, on their handhelds and controllers.

But thanks to blind fanboys like you, they keep getting away with this sh*t.

@Maxz, this made my morning! It was so funny! 🤣

Genki: "you are eligible for free shipping".
So I signed up without a confirmation email (so you can even write your worst enemy's) and found out that shipping actually costs $18.

Apart from cases, if you're looking for a good power bank that attaches the magsafe way, get yourself an Anker Zolo (the 10A one with 30W output and magsafe attachment, now 28.99 € on Amazon) and a cheap magsafe sticker you can apply to the console or to your protection shell. You'll save a lot of money compared to getting Genki's powerbank.

Enjoying MKW, but need this game and looking forward to Thursday. Hopefully Smyths toys delivers on the 17th!

People lost their sanity just because of Pokemon cards. 😑
Sad peoples.
Oh, well...
I'm glad I don't have any interest to collect such that Pokemon cards.
I already have my own Boxing Battle Cards, designed by myself to be played by my students.

Tomorrow, DK will destroy number 2 and on Wednesday DK will destroy number 1.
On Thursday, it's the release date.

OK so just to clarify, these charts are based on physical sales right? But... we are assumedly counting "code-in-a-box" as a physical sale? (based on Switch2 THPS sales being included, and I believe THPS on Switch2 is CiaB??)

Aside from that, delighted to see THPS do so well - quite the achievement also considering it is/was a Gamepass Day1

Ey....!
BLUEY is back on Top 40. 😁
Specifically on number 37.

And, ow...!
The Sims 4 Expansion Pack Enchanted by Nature was on number 7.

Well I hope it turns out fun as I enjoy these kind of licensed games even if just somewhat decent. Hope Garfield is in it!

People being angry about some of us getting the game early, has nothing to do with spoilers, it's just envy.
And I bet all the once complaining, would be happy themselves, if the game arrived early.

A blue shell won’t stop it.

@Eduard_Brenton Perfect analogy.

Go MKW back in pole position again. And DKB number 1 next week, I'll bet my lunch time banana 🍌 on it!
