It needs to be said right away that When the Past was Around is one of the most beautiful and evocative experiences I’ve had in quite some time. It’s games like these that I usually love to close a year off with, just as I did previously with Gris. These types of titles these go beyond a narrative being told and go straight for the heart, and, much like Gris, convey a lot by saying very little. When the Past was Around is a game that lets the art and your actions do the talking as your 20-something character goes through love, loss, and heartbreak, as well as the trials and tribulations of life and how we face them. It has a little something we can all connect to, and finding and utilizing these puzzles to face our issues – much like how we solve problems in our own lives – become complex only when they need to or if we don’t look deeper. When the Past was Around almost feels like an interactive metaphor, but does so in a gorgeous way that accentuates its stunning art style, relaxing yet thought-provoking gameplay, and café-like vibes that make it feel like a real joy to play from beginning to end despite its heavy themes.
Super Nintendo World has quite a few technological elements that go beyond just the theme park itself. We know about things like the wrist bands to collect digital coins and compete with others, the AR-themed Mario Kart ride, and a mobile app.
Speaking of that mobile app, fans have made an interesting discovery after picking through the download’s various files. It turns out that stickers exist for the Donkey Kong series. You’ve got Donkey Kong himself, Diddy Kong, and a few other related items.
So far, Nintendo hasn’t officially announced any major Donkey Kong aspects of Super Nintendo World. There have been plenty of rumors in the past though, and future expansions could make some additions based on the franchise.
