  1431 - What Makes Donkey Kong Feel like Donkey Kong?

  Aug 17, 20264h 1m

  Pyrrhic Kong (Designing For) returns to the show to try to find the commonality that makes the modern Donkey Kong character so appealing to generations of fans. Is there any consistency in the portrayal and gameplay mechanics of the heir to the 1980s arcade legend? Did what Rare intend for the character hold up over the years? Can we make sense of the times the character felt lost? And why has Bananza's depiction of DK been so pleasing to the majority of his fans?

  1430 - Character Witness: Berri

  Aug 10, 20262 hour

  Despite Conker's Bad Fur Day turning 25 this year and not receiving much in the way of follow-ups, Conker has retained his notoriety in the gaming world. But what of his co-star, Berri? The Kongversation explores the abrupt transformation of the young chipmunk from an intended playable character to a murdered supporting player, and how a broadly maligned experimental game for a piece of hardware that was never released commercially can serve as the bridge between the two incarnations!
