Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.
Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.
This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.
Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.
This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you’re submitting before posting to see if it’s already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.
Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.
No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.
Don’t share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.
We don’t want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

They really did not need to make DK do an ahegao face in the thumbnail and yet, here we are
DK loves the bananas!
Lmfao thanks for describing it like that I hate it.
That’s a new word to me, but yeah of course there’s a name for that.
Oh, banana!
A couple interesting bits:
Why are people so obsessed with connecting this game to some weird timeline
It’s never made sense.
Why is Mario still young when Cranky Kong, the original Donkey Kong, is old?
WAIT CRANKY IS DONKEY?
My whole world has just been shattered
Yup! Notice the text in top left of the DKC manual:
Makes the DKC opening shot make more sense, doesn’t it?
Rare games aren’t Nintendo Cannon? (Idk just finding something new to argue about on the internet)
Nintendo isn’t consistent in their own games, so it doesn’t matter either way. Mario and Luigi race with baby versions of themselves!
Ah so the better theory then is eventually at some point time travel is invented in the Mario universe and is used in wildly inappropriate manners.
“Bet I can beat infant you in a race” “You’re on!”
It’s make-believe—it doesn’t need to make sense.
Many make-believe things do need to make sense to actually be enjoyable. Not Donkey Kong games, though.
There are people who play Nintendo games for plot? Lol
It’s interesting that both this and Mario Kart: World originally started as Switch 1 games, and only later they decided to move to Switch 2.
I remember when they did that with Breath of the Wild. Link literally has a WiiU gamepad that you can’t use on the WiiU. You can only use it as a main monitor.
