5 Exciting Games We’re Eager to Dive into This Weekend

Sure thing, let’s dive in!

—

So, here’s the scoop: you gotta play it on the new Switch 2. And what’s the big mission? Dive into the planet’s core. Sounds cool, right? But, wait, let’s talk about something seriously crucial: bananas. Yeah, you heard me—a full-on banana rave. And I’m not just throwing words around here. It’s like, Donkey Kong Bananza is one of those games that just gets it. The destructible terrain is like walking through a sandcastle—you know it’s not gonna last, but it’s epic while it does. And then there’s movement—the way you zip around feels like you’re part of some wild symphony. Each move’s got its own little burst of magic.

Oh, and Donkey Kong’s got a bit of a makeover. He’s not the cunning guy from Donkey Kong Country anymore. Nope, now he’s more like this big-hearted goofball, totally head-empty but overflowing with excitement and an uncomplicated love for two things: bananas and Pauline. Ah, Pauline. She’s got her moments, you know? Every now and then she wobbles—and who wouldn’t with DK gazing at you like you’re the only thing that matters? She looks at that big ol’ grin of his and suddenly, bam! She’s ready to belt out a killer tune.

It got me thinking—yeah, dangerous, I know—how awesome it would be to have someone like that in life. Someone whose faith in you is so pure, you get all brave and stuff just by looking at them. All your doubts and insecurities? Poof, gone, like magic. Man, what a legend. I’m seriously thrilled he’s back, and honestly, this might just be his best gig yet. — Anyway, Carolyn Petit here, rambling and soaking it all in.
