SG 223 | VALORAMOS DONKEY KONG BANANZA + POKEMON PRESENTS +ACTUALIDAD
Episode notes
The episode opens with impressions of Donkey Kong Bananza and other games played, before moving on to the news roundup. They discuss Ready or Not on consoles, the release of Wheel World, Battlefield 6 news, and the pricing of The Outer Worlds 2. They also return to No Rest for the Wicked to discuss its early access, its blend of gameplay references, and the fatigue caused by unfinished releases.
The POKEMON Presents segment covers Pokémon Legends: Z-A and Pokémon Friends, although the team feels the event delivered few major announcements. The conversation continues with Ubisoft, Star Wars Outlaws, Skull & Bones, video game preservation, Borderlands 4, and the Fable rumor. They then debate potential GOTY candidates.
The central section is devoted to Donkey Kong Bananza: its destructible environments, exploration, abilities, collectibles, co-op, performance, level design, and length. They praise its pacing, optimization, and number of objectives, although they note that its formula can become repetitive in long sessions and criticize the limited voice work. The participants recommend it and see it as an important reason to buy a Switch 2.
