First teased back in January, the Lego Game Boy set is now available for pre-order from Lego.com, and is priced at $59.99. The Lego Game Boy will be released starting Oct. 1. The Lego Game Boy is a 421-piece set and, according to Lego, “near 1:1” scale (it’s just...
In Donkey Kong Bananza, the Racing Layer is home to the Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong and, of course, Banandium Gems. The duo finally make their appearance on the eleventh layer where you can find them racing alongside Rambi and a bunch of other rhinos. The bananas on this layer are mostly on the starting island, but there are a few strays that are fairly difficult to find. Below, we...
In Donkey Kong Bananza, the Landfill Layer is the tenth layer and it’s full of, well, trash. But scattered amid the rubbish is a bunch of Banandium Gems. Inside this heap of garbage, you’ll need to search behind metal scrap, dirt, and loads of debris to to collect all of the golden bananas. Below, we list where to find all of the Banandium Gems in the Landfill Layer we’ve found...
The Tempest Layer is the ninth layer you’ll visit in Donkey Kong Bananza, and like all the others, it’s full of Banandium Gems. You’ll need to make use of the Elephant Bananza you get on this layer to grab a ton of them, which are locked behind the new mechanic of gulping down dangerous terrain types. The Tempest Layer is inhabited by elephant people who are going through some extreme...
Supergiant pushed another final Hades 2 patch ahead of the roguelike’s eventual 1.0 launch — yes, another final update, after the previous final update on July 2. I was ready to crack a joke at this latest patch, comparing Supergiant to certain musical artists who perform a dozen farewell tours before turning up in Las Vegas for another decade of shows. Then I realized this decision is indicative of something...
The burgeoning “friendslop” genre isn’t prepared for its scariest — and most personal — entry yet. Eyes of Hellfire is an upcoming co-op horror game in which 3-5 players must collectively survive in a house of horrors while working to deduce who they can and cannot trust, and the developers at its Dublin-based studio, Gambrinous, want you to play it with your real-life friends. The game (which is published by...
It’s been a winding road for the quasi follow-up to indie RPG darling Undertale. Deltarune’s episodic release has left fans waiting for a long time between installments, with Chapter 1 hitting in 2018, Chapter 2 releasing in 2021, and Chapters 3 and 4 available in 2025. The fifth part is still in development for 2026. On Switch 2, you can purchase a version of Deltarune that includes the first four...
Even if you didn’t know that Donkey Kong Bananza was made by the studio behind Super Mario Odyssey, it wouldn’t take very long to figure it out. Nintendo’s latest 3D platformer shares clear DNA with the Switch classic, even if it trades elegant jumps for chaotic smashing. It’s the exact same brand of collect-a-thon, with hundreds of shiny Banandium Gems to collect across well over a dozen diverse biomes. Though...
The Nintendo Switch 2 has debuted as the fastest-selling video game hardware device in United States history, according to market research. The Switch 2 sold 1.6 million units in June, the highest launch-month unit sales for video game hardware in U.S. history, says video game analyst Mat Piscatella on social media. This beats the PlayStation 4, which sold 1.1 million units during November 2013. Video game content spending increased by...
In the first year of a console’s launch, every new game is a test. Turn the clock back to the PlayStation 5’s early months and you’ll unearth countless conversations about how well Returnal and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart realize the shiny new box’s potential. The Nintendo Switch 2 is only at the start of that long cycle, with fresh releases like Donkey Kong Bananza bound to come bundled with...
