How are YOUR bananergy levels today? Well, well, well. We’re just fresh from taking in everything that Nintendo’s Donkey Kong Bananza Direct has shown us about the incoming Switch 2 game, and there’s quite a lot of very exciting things to discuss! Amongst these are the game’s all-new Kong cast members alongside Donkey Kong’s brand…
Double trouble. Nintendo has lifted the lid on a wealth of Donkey Kong Bananza news, with new and classic characters making a comeback and tons of incredible skills and collectibles to discover. But the biggest news for certain Nintendo and DK fans is only noticeable in a few blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moments. Both Diddy Kong and Dixie…
What if understanding climate change wasn’t a lecture – but a journey you could take yourself? We’re pleased to introduce Climate Station, a new experience that transforms decades of climate science into an interactive story.

Sculpt and paint using mouse mode. Nintendo’s recent Donkey Kong Bananza Direct shed a load of light on the upcoming platformer, and one of the coolest new additions is undoubtedly DK Artist.
