People have been telling me to review Donkey Kong '94 for years, and with Nintendo finally adding it to the Switch Online library, I figured 'why not?' And I'll tell ya, damned if this isn't one of the best games in the entire Game Boy library. A hidden gem among hidden gems.

DK '94 is more than just a Game Boy version of the OG Donkey Kong. It starts that way, but they add like 100 additional puzzle levels once you get through the traditional 4. You play as Mario and your objective is to retrieve a key and make your way to a locked door without being killed by enemies, falling to your death, or running out of time. The levels get more complicated as you go on, and when you toss in some great DK boss fights, you get as charming of puzzle game as I've ever played.

My guest this week is our resident Stpd Mnky, my buddy Daniel. We both played through this one for the first time over the past few days and both agree that it really does stack up against the best the Game Boy has to offer. A must-play as far as we're concerned.

And before we tackle DK, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks what gaming might look like 10 years from now? How am I feeling about Game Pass these days? And do I have any plans to check out the Outlast movie??

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 o the Game Boy's best: Kirby's Dream Land 2, Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land, and Final Fantasy Adventure.
