Donkey Kong Bananza Emerald Rush strategy guide – best perks, tips, more
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan in Guides | 0 comments
Emerald Rush is Donkey Kong Bananza’s new DLC mode, and it’s extremely difficult. The first few difficulties are no problem at all – but play the highest difficulty, and you’ll see that the emerald quotas Void Kong is looking for quickly become absolutely insane. They also last 15 rounds, which means a run of Emerald Rush’s toughest challenge will often take over 30 minutes. And you’re not even guaranteed to win! If you’ve been struggling to tackle those higher difficulties, you’re in luck – I’ve been playing this mode for between 15 and 20 hours and have gathered a whole bunch of helpful tips. To start, here’s a very important tidbit: this mode is almost completely dependent on RNG. That is to say, even if you do everything right, you can still lose just because the game decides it so. So even with these tips, you may still have a bit of trouble – but they’ll definitely make you a much better player.

Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots review for Nintendo Switch
Posted on 1 month ago by Edan in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: September 4, 2025
Developer: Hyde
Publisher: Bandai Namco
Whoever originally coined the phrase “comparison is the thief of joy” must have had access to a time machine solely built to show them 2025’s Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots. The latest in a string of first-party Sony franchises shorn of their exclusivity, Bandai Namco and development studio Hyde have created a game that seems overtly reliant on players having no prior experience with the series. Seeing as it’s been eight years since the last Everybody’s Golf, perhaps there are players out there who won’t have had the pleasure of hitting these hallowed links – but fair warning: this review is going to read more like a PSA than an objective deconstruction of Hyde/Bamco’s work.
