Mario Kart World Rainbow Road

In what will come as a surprise to no one, Mario Kart World will indeed feature Rainbow Road.

Rainbow Road has been a staple of the series going back to its original incarnation on the SNES. However, we now appear to have our first official look for Mario Kart World, though that seemingly happened by accident.

Donkey Kong Game Boy Review

Just a few weeks back, Nintendo added Donkey Kong to the Game Boy division of Nintendo Switch Online for the first time. It was previously available on the 3DS’ Virtual Console back in 2011, and it’s taken well over ten years for us to see the game again. Every time Nintendo has released or re-released Donkey Kong for the Game Boy, it’s pretty much flown under the radar despite including some of their most iconic characters.
