Why Xbox Never Worked in Japan & Donkey Kong Bonanza Review | Tubby Talk Ep 51

Описание: (Originally Recorded 7/29/25)
Is Donkey Kong Bananza the Mario 64 of the Switch 2 era? We dive deep into the new game's destructible environments, the surprising return of Pauline (as a kid!), and why punching rocks for an hour is weirdly satisfying.

Plus, we discuss why Xbox has never succeeded in Japan (it's not just nationalism), the joy of Mario Paint coming to Switch Online with mouse support, and why we are nostalgic for games like Perfect Dark and Jet Force Gemini despite their flaws.
