This week, we're covering the final release in the DKC trilogy on the SNES with Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! Released in November 1996, just before the final year of the SNES' lifecycle, DKC3 would be among one of the best swan songs to the console you could hope for. A unique open world inspired by the European countryside, nearly 50 levels, over 100 secrets, bigger and badder enemies, a trade quest with a family of bears - DKC3 had everything you could ask for in a new

We wanted to close the year out with a big one, today we're covering Donkey Kong Country on the Super Nintendo. DKC bookended a great year for the SNES (with Mega Man X coming out early 1994) and we revisited this classic to see how well it holds up. We go into Rare's development with the SGI workstations and how Diddy Kong was almost "Dinky Kong," Nintendo's huge marketing push and what reviewers thought at the time. Deucy and I share our playthroughs along with bosses and levels we loved and hated

In this week's episode, Deucy and I jump in the driver seat of a very unique kart racer for the Nintendo 64 - Diddy Kong Racing! Originally released in December 1997, DKR filled a holiday release gap for the N64. This game has a far more interesting history than you may expect with it originally starting out as an RTS (Real-Time Strategy) game that was totally unrelated to Diddy Kong.
