Donkey Kong Bananza turns destruction into joy

theverge.com Ash Parrish 2025-07-27 03:00:00

My first thought upon starting up Donkey Kong Bananza was, “Why yes, I actually would like to go ape shit.” The game starts by having Donkey Kong smash through a wall to reveal a glittering gem waiting to be liberated from the rock. But instead of punching the bright yellow gem into bite-size pieces, I kept punching through the walls and floors, digging tunnels into the landscape. With the Nintendo Switch 2 finally out in consumers’ hands for more than a month now and the luster of the console’

Bitcoin falls below $117,000 after Trump crypto bills are blocked before vote

cnbc.com Sean Conlon 2025-07-28 03:04:52
