It's great to see DK back in Bananza! Back in 1994, we were getting ready to bring DK back ourselves! With Nintendo having lost ground to Sega in the console wars, it can't be over-estimated how important DKC was for Nintendo (and Rare of course!)

3 decades apart. We were 3d pioneers, back in the day.

It's North America's time for 30 years of #DonkeyKongCountry This was the only box I did solo... Holding the bananas like that, Donkey doesn't realize the rest of the bunch will snap off leaving him holding 1 banana. Amateur.

Blue sky and doggo. Scraggly and wet, but we enjoyed the walk!

30 years since we unleashed DKC on the world! Here's some art from the 25th anniversary - how quick has that 5 years gone?

I'll tell you what she is saying Mr M "Give WinkySteve an all-expenses paid family holiday to DKC land"

I've not worked on a DK game since 1995. Even so, seeing these characters here warms the cockles
