It's one of the best shows Marvel Studios has ever made, specifically because it so throughly breaks the Marvel Cinematic Universe mold.
MCU superfans can skip Wonder Man. For everyone else, it's a must-watch.

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD Ver. 1.1.0 update notes (Brazilian Portuguese language support added as well)
General The following updates have been made when playing the game on Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch: You can now play as Dixie Kong. Her action when jumping is different from when Diddy Kong jumps. When playing alone, as you grab a barrel, you can switch between either Diddy Kong or Dixie Kong as the character that appears. When playing with two people, P2 can switch between Diddy Kong or Dixie Kong by pressing the stick (the L Stick in the case of playing with both Joy-Con 2 or Joy-Con controllers) on the world map. A Turbo Attack mode where you can race through the stage at high speed has been added. If you clear the course once, it will appear at the same time as the Time Attack mode. If you can clear it within the time limit, you will acquire a turbo medal. Now supports Brazilian Portuguese language. You can switch the language in the “Language” setting in the “System” menu of “System Settings.” Several other issues have been addressed and image quality enhancements have been made to improve the gameplay experience. The following updates have been made when playing the game on Nintendo Switch 2: Now supports “GameShare (Local User).” You can select “GameShare (Local User)” from “2 Players” on the game start screen or the menu screen of the world map. Optimized for the Nintendo Switch 2 display and high-resolution TVs for improved image quality. The loading time is now shorter.
