Talking to My Boy About Videogames - 12 - Is Donkey Kong Bananza Just Minecraft, But Good?

Maximum Utcast

Jonathan and Ryan dig deep on Donkey Kong Bananza to uncover what's great and what's maybe not so great about it, getting into some interesting theories about characters and contrasting DK with CK (Clark Kent, AKA Superman). Has Nintendo basically been making "good" Minecraft over and over with all their games from the last few years? Do people Ryan's age care about the Switch 2 or GTA6? Jonathan is excited for Mina the Hollower and Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment, but can he pry Ryan away from his Minecraft Lego set before Ryan falls asleep? Who knows?!?
