@B3RTAY I don't know, but if you think about it, it is the logic behind these fundraising schemes. If you give money to a cancer charity because a celebrity has a bath in baked beans, then you should have been giving prior to that event already; cancer exists regardless of whether that celebrity has a bath in baked beans or not. It's idiotic.
@onlyonemello My initial reaction to that was, if the idea is too ambitious for them to make work with a functioning camera, then they shouldn't have pursued it.
But then, I suppose with that attitude we would never have gotten Mario 64.
The problem these days is that in the race to be among the first to publish a walkthrough online, these guides understandably are quite sloppy.
What really needs to happen is that someone goes back and tidies them up a bit;
I've read walkthroughs on this site (though like I say, they're far from the only offender) that were so badly written and opaque that they actually hindered rather than helped my progress.
How I long for the sumptuous displays of game guides found in NMS.
Or perhaps I just miss being younger.
Almost feel like this should have been a Diddy Kong Racing revival.
Or probably more apposite, the start of a Donkey Kong Racing series, released a year or so after Bananza (time to iron out the issues this article refers to as well). Theme seems generally better suited to the adventure elements. You could have the classic Kongs, but also newer additions from Bananza. And later release actual Mario Kart for people that like real Mario Kart.
Lap changes sound okay, but we already had that with some tracks. Expanding the amount of racers in a race which leads to ever wider tracks isn't great. A too empty open world isn't great either.

Re: Nintendo Won't Let Charity Speedrunning Event Use Its Games Without Permission, Because Of Course
Not a great look,
but if you're not persuaded that Doctors Without Borders need money until you see a speedrun of a game, then you're a cretin.

I have a Pikachu flat cap from the London Pokemon centre,
so I suppose I'm a member of the Pika Blinders.

Not sure what he did to deserve being inflicted with Birmingham.

Hmm, boots look quite nice and farily subtle.
I'll be going to that Parco probably around Halloween time.

I felt that New Super Mario Bros. 2 made more sense as a Wario game.

Re: Donkey Kong Bananza: Walkthrough
@Medic_alert
I would buy second hand magazines from a small local game shop for the walkthroughs.
Seems insane now.

I mean, where's DK64?
Re: Nintendo Announces First Cast Members For The Legend Of Zelda Movie

Re: Review: Donkey Kong Bananza (Switch 2) - Absolutely Smashing, But Can It Beat Mario Odyssey?
From what I've seen so far, it appears to be more thematically coherent than Odyssey.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Donkey Kong Bananza
Oh my.
Camera issues in 2025 is unforgivable.

We have seen that is not necessarily the case.

The issue is going through the EU courts right?

Re: Feature: Three Laps, Two Players, One Vegas Jumpsuit - 10 Things We'd Love To See Added To Mario Kart World
Mario Kart never needed to become open world,
and from what many have said, sounds like it doesn't suit it either.
Each new Mario Kart just needs new characters and tracks to represent the new adventure games released.

Re: Preview: Donkey Kong Bananza - DK's Getting His Own Odyssey, And It's A Helluva Trip
So far this game looks far more thematically coherent than Odyssey to me.
Re: Of Course Mario Kart World Is Being Review Bombed
There seems to be a direct relationship between how a game gets review bombed,
