Is Yooka-Replaylee worth your time? What platform should you play it on? My feature-length review addresses it all, while also making the usual contractually-mandated references to Vendi and goldfish.

The DK Vine review of Yooka-Replaylee will be posted a bit later today. Still, after staying up too late playing it last night, I'll say it's definitely an upgrade from the original (and I REALLY LIKE the original!). No wasted space, better flow, and it has way more heart and humor.
More to come.

I interviewed Amanda Dyer, the original model for Tsukihime's Arcueid Brunestud!
She details her life in 90's Japan and provides never-before-seen images from the photoshoot that Takashi Takeuchi was inspired by!

Honkai writer Shaoji asked Nasu about a DDD sequel in which Nasu replied perhaps in a parallel world because he has too much on his plate.
He instead used concepts planned for DDD in FGO. For example, Beast IV's "Comparison" ability was originally DDD's Kanata Ishizue's.

Really wild to see Nintendo embracing all five Donkey Kong Country games, Rare and Retro, as one complete lineage. Love the editing and segues between one game and the next!
It’s a surreal time to be a fan!

One of the things that wowed me when I got to visit Rare in 2016 was how lovely the grounds around Manor Park actually are. It’s almost a proper storybook English forest befitting the games they’ve historically made. One of the most creatively juicy spaces I’ve ever seen.
