We take a nostalgic deep dive into the Donkey Kong franchise, ranking games from the classic Country series to the upcoming Bonanza, while exploring what makes them stand out from other platformers.
• Karl shares his experience watching the live-action How to Train Your Dragon, comparing it to the original animated film
• Richard has been researching JRPGs by sampling classics like Final Fantasy 1 and other PlayStation 2 era games
• We debate why Donkey Kong 64 was critically acclaimed but seemingly led to a decade-long hiatus for 3D DK games
• Diddy Kong Racing had features that Mario Kart has taken years to implement, yet never achieved the same success
• Retro Studios revitalized the franchise with Country Returns and Tropical Freeze, delivering some of the best platformers ever
• The upcoming Donkey Kong Bonanza for Switch 2 promises destructible environments and seems built on the Mario Odyssey engine
• We provide recommendations for shows, manga, and games that excel at worldbuilding, including Fullmetal Alchemist and Chrono Trigger
Check out our second podcast where we play Daggerheart, just Google "Richard and Karl play Daggerheart."
