Every developer under the sun has dabbled in the 3D platformer space at one point or another, but Nintendo has consistently proven that no one does it better than it does — and Donkey Kong Bananza is no exception to that rule. It’s a master class in level design and…
A second Playtest Program has been announced for Nintendo Switch Online, which will allow successful applicants to help test the online service. It will be similar to the playtest held in October 2024, though this time the number of users will jump from 10,000 to 40,000. It will take place…
