Playdate: Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze (01/12/2018)

Oh. Banana.

What nightmare is this?

Danswers!

This was fun as hell. Dan and Danielle make a great team!

Damn right.

This was a really fun stream. Danielle's endless positivity combined with Dan's passion for anything Nintendo made for a really chill and pleasant show.

I can't believe a random Twitter joke became an entire stream, but I'm glad it did.

I didn't even see there was a stream today! Was it on the calendar?

As one of the 100 people who have played this game, I think it sucks. It's more difficult then it has any right to be and on a system that has Rayman Legends and multiple good Mario games it just doesn't rank for me.

Banana Ooh Na Na

I'm happy this game is coming to the switch.

Oh hey, they brought back "Bring your B-Game".

Glad to see Auntie Knuckles on a GB stream!

As one of the other 100 people who have played this game, I think it is one of the most cleverly designed and creative platformers ever made, but to each their own!

Awesome seeing Danielle in the studio, especially on a feature with Dan. Now if only they could team up and start an advice podcast...

Anyone else notice how good the music in this game is?

Not a fan of Vice and their moderating (echochambers) but Danielle seems nice and what a great game this is!

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Absolutely wonderful video guys :)

Never watched a video with Danielle. I started it in the background and I thought something with Kate Micucci was playing on my computer.

Always happy to see this game.

I love how happy they are this video was much needed for me right now.

Un-ironically great content.

@forteexe21: Oh heck yes. They need to be the new Danswers pair.

dan is a warrior of justice, fighting to get dkctf the recognition it deserves

Waypoint folks are good folks.

@atomicoldman: Ha ha, I say "Oh banana" every time I eat a banana. Screw appearing sane.

Dan is the reason I am a premium member and videos like this are what I like! People having fun! I've never seen Danielle before but her and Dan are awesome!

Positively adorable

❤️

I have zero nostalgia for this game or this series (never played any of them) but Tropical Freeze was ROBBED of Best Music GOTY 2014.

The minecart and rocket levels are complete butt, but the traditional platforming levels are good stuff.

Danielle is always positive and fun to watch!

Hi, it's me, the person that just realized the "Kong Quest" in Diddy's Kong Quest is a play on "conquest".

I hope that they do follow up and finish this on the Switch on Waypoint!

I welcome the Dani Rienckert fusion.

I love everything about it aside from playing it. I am pretty sure I threw in the towel at the second or third mine cart level.

Dan and Dan are delightful! Anytime I can see GB Dan play a rad Nintendo game with others who appreciate them makes me happy, but I do wish Abby stuck around/talked! She and Dan make a dynamic af duo, especially when arguing about MacGruber

Two pals thoroughly enjoying a game. I like this very much.

I really appreciate this game. I love the craft put into the design of the levels, how every platform is properly contextualized and there's so much animation for stuff falling apart or blowing up as you move through. The enemy design is varied yet cohesive, even just from world to world. It's consistently tough and you really feel like you can run out of lives. I wasn't sure if I was actually going to be able to beat the last boss, and there where several secret levels I never even found.

My only issues are with there being so many collectibles I never got close to getting them all, rarely ever getting all the puzzle peices in a stage. The dash mechanic when you go into running can also be really hard to control.

@ssully: One of those 100 people myself.

It's my favorite Wii U game bar none and in my top 5 platformers. I love me a good challenging platformer though. It's just such a well crafted game from top to bottom.

I've listened to Danielle through all of her Idle Thumbs appearances to Waypoint, and I'm glad to see her showing up on GB.

MY POWER! MY POWER! MY POWER! YES!

I played a bit of it on Wii U and enjoyed it but it fell by the wayside. I'd probably be stupid to buy it again on the Switch, but so it goes.

This!

Oh hey! Who new Dan and Danielle would be so charming and fun on camera together?

Wonderful.
