dang, Bluesky doesn't keep it pixel perfect like the other place does, oh well. Hope you can still make out some of these.

Happy #MiiverseMonday

I guess I don't do that here on Bluesky, but hey, here's my old collection of Miiverse drawings, enjoy!

Dad bought us kids Donkey Kong Classics for the NES at a Toys-R-Us when I was just old enough to form memories... And while I did love the ape game, especially DK Jr., I didn't become a real fan until DKC showed up, introduced via the excellent DKC Exposed VHS tape from the mail. LOVED it!

Made a second Nintendo Museum, more accurate to the actual one. Just cuz.

Step one, three to go

Okay, I've literally run out of room now, haha! I might try to draw some more title screens at some point again, but the display space is PACKED!

Just realized that since my display cases are up against a wall, that I can display hanging items in them! I think they turned out pretty great, especially the Zelda ones!

Also because DK is my favorite series, I had to give it a little corner too (wish it had official items!!)

the Donkey Kong Country Returns HD Switch 2 update (with Dixie!) reminded me that there's a couple more pics hanging up in the DK Treehouse from the game that I haven't made in Animal Crossing yet.

Welp, here they are!

Of course, I can't forget Animal Crossing

Looks pretty legit!

more title screens!

Also made some title screens for the monitors, just like the actual Nintendo Museum!

Finally got enough of the Nintendo items to make a proper museum!! And of course, Mineru would be carefully studying the Switch 2.

Grab them for your own treehouse here!

Updated the Donkey Kong Treehouse in Animal Crossing New Horizons again! This time with additions from Bananza's DLC! Plus some 3.0 goodies! Play it Loud!! 🍌

This is bananas

Together at last 💙💚

Please oh please oh please!! Each Animal Buddy paired up with the Animal Bananza!! (the chances of the zebra are so low, lmao, I'd sooner expect some random animal buddy to be paired with Zebra Bananza, like Winky... but wouldn't it be dope if we got Zigmund???)

the final outfit unlocks are a glow-up!

The Donkey Kong Bananza title screen.

After six months, my feature-length review of Donkey Kong Bananza is finally here! What are my final thoughts on the game and how it compares to past DK adventures?

The results are in, and as expected... over 280 hours of Bananza!! 🍌🤯🍌

I really don't think Pauline is a new character, they wouldn't make her Pauline if that were the case. At most, I'll accept that her grandma is the original "Lady", and that modern day Pauline in Odyssey and the MvDK games, is the same Pauline as the one in Bananza. That way it would reflect Cranky.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing us to associate optimism and a positive outlook with low intelligence

If it couldn't have been more obvious what 2025 would be. There was no way anything could top Bananza for me this year! That big creative 3D DK from Nintendo that respects the entire franchise history, even co-starring Pauline?? My Banandium wish came true!

at the very least, watch the orchestral medley, if you haven't already. It's pretty jaw dropping seeing our beloved Donkey Kong on that stage with that performance. And Jenny Kidd knocked it out of the park!! Tremendous singing voice!
