Donkey Kong Bananza reviews roundup

Nintendo’s next major Switch 2 exclusive following Mario Kart World is almost here, and reviews for Donkey Kong Bananza are now starting to come in.

We’ve mentioned this a few times, but Donkey Kong Bananza is the first 3D platformer in the series since Donkey Kong 64. There’s impressive talent behind it as the team that worked on Super Mario Odyssey created the game. And during the adventure, you’ll be journeying with Pauline as you explore the Underground World by smashing, crashing, jumping and singing your way through it.

Here’s the full Donkey Kong Bananza reviews roundup:

Wind Waker Missable Figurines

Today, we’re going over a list of missable pictographs and missable figurines in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.

Recently, we’ve been playing the game on GameCube. More specifically, the version that’s available on Nintendo Switch Online. While the game is fun to play casually, it’s not fun to 100 percent complete. The Wind Waker’s side content includes plenty of tedious Heart Pieces and trading sequences, but its biggest task is completing the dreaded Nintendo Gallery. For this task, you have to take pictures of almost every single entity in the game. The picture needs to include its face and most of its body in order to count. You can then hand this picture off to Carlov, who makes a figurine based on it. There are well over 100 different figures to make, and some of them are actually permanently missable. If you decide to play through The Wind Waker with a walkthrough (Zelda Dungeon’s is particularly good), it most likely won’t tell you which pictures are about to become unobtainable.

Karma City Police is a police dispatch sim made by Mecagames. As part of the adventure, you’ll talk to victims to discover their needs and fight in a unique pinball-based battle system.
