Top 10 Donkey Kong Games Ranked
Here are the Top 10 Donkey Kong Games RANKED just in time for the new game coming on Switch 2 soon!
1. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Switch/Wii U, 2014/2018)
-
Why #1: It’s a 2D platforming masterpiece. Tight controls, gorgeous HD visuals, inventive level design, and David Wise’s god-tier soundtrack.
-
Bonus: Funky Mode makes it welcoming, but even on normal mode, this game doesn’t pull punches.
2. Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest (SNES, 1995)
-
Why it’s classic: Many still consider it the peak of the DKC trilogy. Atmospheric worlds, deep platforming, and Dixie’s helicopter hair made this unforgettable.
-
Arguably the best SNES soundtrack of all time.
3. Donkey Kong Country (SNES, 1994)
-
Why it changed the game: This game sold the SNES. Its pre-rendered graphics were revolutionary, and the gameplay still holds up.
-
Collecting bananas has never felt so urgent.
4. Donkey Kong (Arcade, 1981)
-
The origin story: The game that introduced Mario (then Jumpman), Pauline, and DK himself. It’s still brutally hard and iconic in every way.
-
OG arcade cred: It’s one of the most important video games ever made.
5. Donkey Kong ’94 (Game Boy, 1994)
-
Why it’s genius: Starts like the arcade game, then explodes into a full-on puzzle-platformer. Way deeper than it looks.
-
Mario flipping and backflipping like a gymnast? Yep, it started here.
6. Donkey Kong Country Returns (Wii, 2010)
-
Retro reboot magic: Brought DKC roaring back after a long hiatus. It’s tough, creative, and full of energy.
-
Controls were divisive (waggle to roll?!), but level design? Top tier.
7. Diddy Kong Racing (N64, 1997)
-
Surprise, it’s racing: Not strictly a DK game, but Diddy headlines, and it’s better than it has any right to be. Story mode + planes + hovercrafts? Yes, please.
-
A rainbow-colored fever dream with a killer soundtrack.
8. Donkey Kong Jungle Beat (GameCube, 2005)
-
Yes, this is the bongo game: You control DK by slapping bongos and clapping. It shouldn’t work—but it does. It’s bizarre and beautiful.
-
Later re-released with normal controls, but that’s not the true experience.
9. Donkey Kong 64 (N64, 1999)
-
The collectathon of collectathons: So many golden bananas. So many colored items. So many Kongs.
-
Infamous for the DK Rap. Endearing for its scope, if overwhelming and janky by today’s standards.
10. Mario vs. Donkey Kong (GBA, 2004)
-
Puzzle time: Revived the Donkey Kong ’94 gameplay with mini-Marios and loads of clever puzzles.
-
More brainy than brawny, but still very much in the DK family tree.
🍌 Honorable Mentions:
-
Donkey Kong Land trilogy (GB) – Great, if sometimes awkward, handheld versions of the DKC formula.
-
Donkey Konga (GCN) – A rhythm game with licensed music and bongos. Wild times.
-
Donkey Kong Jr. (Arcade/NES) – The sequel where you play as DK’s son to save your dad. Role reversal at its finest.
Galactix – Inside Astoria’s FANTASTIC Arcade Taphouse Game Paradise!
Galactix Arcade in Astoria, Oregon, is like stepping into a parallel universe where the 80s never ended, and everything still smells vaguely of popcorn and Mountain Dew. It’s a neon-lit wonderland where pinball machines blink seductively, arcade cabinets hum with pixelated nostalgia, and Skeeball is taken as seriously as the stock market.
You don’t visit Galactix—you respawn there. The staff are basically space wizards in disguise, and there’s a decent chance the guy playing DDR in the corner has been doing it since 1997 without stopping. It’s the kind of place where quarters go to fulfill their destiny, and grown adults scream “I beat Galaga!” like they just won Olympic gold
Address: 254 9th St (Subterranean Level), Astoria, Oregon, 97103

Top 20 Best Selling Original XBOX Games
Here are the Top 20 best-selling original Xbox games—back when consoles were chunky, multiplayer meant sitting on the same couch, and blowing on discs didn’t actually help (but we did it anyway). Sales figures are approximate worldwide totals.
🥇 1. Halo: Combat Evolved (Sales: ~6.43 million)
Why it sold: It single-handedly justified buying the Xbox and made “sticky grenades” a part of our vocabulary. Master Chief carried Microsoft harder than Clippy ever did
🥈 2. Halo 2 (Sales: ~8.49 million)
Why it sold: Because Halo 1 was great—and now you could teabag strangers online! Xbox Live was born, and suddenly, kids were yelling “NOOB” into $19.99 headsets.
🥉 3. Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell (Sales: ~6 million)
Why it sold: Gamers love sneaking around in the dark—Sam Fisher crouched more than most of us do at the gym. It was like Solid Snake with night vision and a grudge.
4. Fable (Sales: ~3 million)
Why it sold: You could fart in public and grow devil horns—what more could a gamer want? Also, Peter Molyneux’s promises were worth at least 2 million sales.
5. Project Gotham Racing 2 (Sales: ~2.5 million)
Why it sold: Because it was racing, but classy. Style mattered more than speed. Finally, a game for people who like parallel parking with flair.
6. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) (Sales: ~2.3 million)
Why it sold: Star Wars, but with moral choices and the ability to ruin your relationships by turning Sith. Darth Revan > any movie twist since.
7. Dead or Alive 3 (Sales: ~2 million)
Why it sold: Let’s be honest—people came for the “jiggle physics” and stayed for the surprisingly decent fighting mechanics. A staple of awkward dorm rooms everywhere.
8. Forza Motorsport (Sales: ~1.5 million)
Why it sold: Microsoft’s answer to Gran Turismo, but more forgiving. Also, you could put tribal flames on a Toyota Corolla and race it like a champ.
9. Grand Theft Auto: Double Pack (GTA III + Vice City) (Sales: ~1.5 million)
Why it sold: Two games, one disk, endless mayhem. Who needs a storyline when you can drive a tank through Miami while listening to 80s synth pop?
10. Counter-Strike (Sales: ~1.5 million)
Why it sold: Console CS! Terrorists vs. Counter-Terrorists—and someone yelling “go B!” while holding the bomb. PC fans scoffed, Xbox fans sprayed and prayed.
11. The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (Sales: ~1.4 million)
Why it sold: You could become the chosen one… after spending 2 hours trying to figure out how to leave the starting town. Combat felt like swinging a pool noodle, but we loved it.
12. Need for Speed: Underground 2 (Sales: ~1.4 million)
Why it sold: Because street racing + neon lights + a Bangin’ soundtrack = pure gold. Also, car customization made us all feel like Vin Diesel’s unpaid interns.
13. Madden NFL 06 (Sales: ~1.3 million)
Why it sold: It’s Madden. It sells no matter what. You could swap the year and no one would notice—except maybe the new haircut on the cover athlete.
14. Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon (Sales: ~1.2 million)
Why it sold: Because sometimes you want to be tactical, not run-and-gun. Also because Tom Clancy had a 10-game-a-year quota.
15. Ninja Gaiden (Sales: ~1.2 million)
Why it sold: Pain. Pure, glorious pain. This game handed you your butt on a katana and asked you to thank it.
16. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4 (Sales: ~1.2 million)
Why it sold: You couldn’t skate IRL, but here you could grind a roller coaster. The soundtrack also doubled as your personality in high school.
17. The Simpsons: Hit & Run (Sales: ~1.2 million)
Why it sold: Like GTA, but with donuts. And yelling. And way fewer lawsuits. This game gave us chaos with a side of D’oh!
18. Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge (Sales: ~1.1 million)
Why it sold: Air combat + pulp fiction vibes = criminally underrated. Plus, nothing says “cool” like shooting planes with a joystick that clicks.
19. SoulCalibur II (Sales: ~1 million)
Why it sold: Fighting with swords, a guest appearance by Spawn, and enough flair to make a Renaissance fair blush.
20. Need for Speed: Most Wanted (Sales: ~1 million)
Why it sold: Cops, speed, BMWs, and that Blacklist. Running from the law never felt so cinematic—or so full of slow-motion crashes.
Top 20 Best Selling PlayStation 4 (PS4) Games (SO FAR in 2025)
Top 20 Best-Selling PlayStation 4 Games, complete with sales figures. Sales figures are based on the most reputable data available as of mid-2023 (some may be rounded estimates). Grab your DualShock and your nostalgia — we’re diving in:
🎮 1. Grand Theft Auto V – ~24 million
Rockstar’s epic about crime, chaos, and totally ignoring the story to drive golf carts off mountains. This game has sold so much it might actually be funding its own real-world criminal empire.
🕸️ 2. Marvel’s Spider-Man – ~20 million
Swinging through NYC never felt so good. Finally, a Peter Parker game where you don’t have to deliver pizzas (sorry, Tobey). Also features 600 crimes per block — NYC, are you okay?
⚔️ 3. God of War (2018) – ~20 million
Kratos goes from “angry screaming murder machine” to “tired dad with parenting issues.” You’ll cry. You’ll rage. You’ll say “BOY” 12,000 times.
⚽ 4. FIFA 18 – ~11.8 million
It’s soccer. Again. But this time… slightly shinier! The crowd still sounds like a vacuum cleaner having a stroke, though.
🕶️ 5. Call of Duty: Black Ops III – ~10.7 million
A future shooter where you wall-run into explosions and yell at 12-year-olds who’ve already memorized the map. Classic Call of Duty.
🚙 6. Gran Turismo Sport – ~10.5 million
For people who love cars but not enough to go outside and drive one. Simulated tire wear never looked so… niche.
🐉 7. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – ~10.3 million
Come for Geralt’s gravelly voice, stay for the Gwent. Warning: Side quests may consume your life. Also, you may fall in love with a virtual sorceress. That’s normal.
🐒 8. Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End – ~10 million
Nathan Drake’s final adventure, where he grapples with cliffs, pirates, and the existential dread of adult responsibility. Also, he’s legally obligated to destroy every ancient ruin he visits.
🔫 9. Call of Duty: WWII – ~9.6 million
Back to the basics! You shoot Nazis. You shout over machine guns. History may weep, but the multiplayer K/D ratio won’t.
🐉 10. Monster Hunter: World – ~9.2 million
Where you hunt giant beasts, cook adorable meals, and craft hats from dragon butts. Capcom says “ecology,” but we say “loot treadmill.”
👑 11. Horizon Zero Dawn – ~9 million
Robot dinosaurs. Bow and arrow. Redhead protagonist. Truly a combo forged by the gods of “Stuff Gamers Like.”
🔫 12. Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare – ~8.6 million
Call of Duty… in space! Because nothing says gritty realism like zero-gravity shootouts and a flying Jon Snow.
👮 13. Red Dead Redemption 2 – ~8 million (PS4 only)
Yee-haw meets emotional trauma. You’ll bond with your horse more than most coworkers. Also: yes, you can rob a train.
🌀 14. Final Fantasy VII Remake – ~7 million
Cloud’s hair is still defying gravity, and now it’s in HD. It only covers part of the original game, but hey — there’s enough Sephiroth brooding to go around.
💀 15. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard – ~6.5 million
A terrifying family dinner with the Bakers. Not since Thanksgiving with the in-laws has a meal felt this horrifying.
🎯 16. Destiny 2 – ~6 million
Space wizards with guns. You shoot aliens. You collect loot. Then you do it all again next Tuesday. Bungie is basically your part-time job now.
🧟 17. The Last of Us Part II – ~6 million
The sequel that launched 9,000 thinkpieces. Gorgeous, brutal, and full of feels. Warning: emotional trauma ahead. Bring snacks.
🗡️ 18. Ghost of Tsushima – ~6 million
Feudal Japan meets Assassin’s Creed, but good. You ride your horse through golden fields while composing haiku. Also, lots of stabbing.
🧠 19. Persona 5 – ~5.5 million
Half teenage drama, half dungeon crawling, all style. Time management has never been this fun — or this anime. Your teacher might turn into a monster. That’s Tuesday.
🐺 20. Bloodborne – ~5 million
FromSoftware’s eldritch nightmare where you die 843 times in one hour, and love every second of it. The cure for sleep and sanity alike.
Final Thoughts:
The PS4’s lineup was an all-you-can-eat buffet of masterpieces, monsters, and multiplayer mayhem. Whether you were slashing, shooting, sobbing, or just swinging through the skyline, this list proves the console earned its spot in gaming history.

The Nintendo DS – Hardware & Best Games
Ah, the Nintendo DS — the handheld console that looked like a tiny laptop for cartoon spies and made every kid in 2004 feel like a tech mogul. “Dual Screen” was the big selling point, as if one screen wasn’t enough chaos for your eyeballs. And let’s not forget the stylus, a tiny plastic wand you lost within 48 hours, destined to be replaced with chewed-up pencils, greasy thumbs, or pure, unfiltered rage. It was the first time a video game console encouraged us to poke Pikachu in the face and blow into a microphone like we were trying to resuscitate Mario.
But oh, the library — from “Brain Age” tricking us into doing Sudoku for fun, to “Nintendogs,” which let you adopt a digital puppy and then ignore it until it ran away in shame (relatable). You had classics, weird experiments, and that weird guy on the bus asking to trade Pokémon through local wireless. The DS didn’t just sell games — it sold an experience: one part childhood joy, one part touchscreen confusion, and one part “wait, this game wants me to yell ‘OBJECTION!’ out loud in public?” It was clamshell chaos at its finest.
the tech inside your credit card, explained
🕰️ It all started in the 1940s…
Legend has it, in 1949, a man named Frank McNamara went out to dinner in New York, realized he forgot his wallet, and did what any great innovator would do: got embarrassed and invented a financial revolution. Thus, the Diners Club Card was born — the first credit card. At first, it was basically just a “gentleman’s IOU,” used at fancy restaurants so you could pretend to be rich while actually being very much not.
💳 The 1950s-60s: Birth of Plastic Fantastic
By the late ‘50s, Bank of America decided IOUs were for amateurs and launched the BankAmericard (later known as Visa). It was sent to random Californians like a financial bomb — unsolicited, physical cards mailed with zero consent, just vibes. It was the original “you’ve been pre-approved,” except you didn’t ask, didn’t want it, and now you owe $500.
This was the era when banks realized, “Wait a second… what if we charged people… for borrowing their own future money?”
📈 The 1980s: Interest Rates and Wild Capitalism
Credit cards really took off during the age of big hair, big shoulder pads, and even bigger debt. The marketing was seductive: “Buy now, pay later… or never, as long as you’re okay with 22.99% APR.”
Consumers didn’t blink — they were too busy buying cassette tapes, microwaves, and other artifacts of modern living. The phrase “minimum payment” became financial code for “this problem is Future Me’s responsibility.”
📱 The 2000s and Beyond: Tap, Swipe, Cry
Enter the digital age. Cards got chips, then they got “contactless,” and now you can just wave your phone at a terminal like a financial wizard. Spending money has literally never been easier — or more terrifying.
Meanwhile, credit scores became the adult version of GPA, but with more existential dread: “Want a house? Better hope your teenage self didn’t miss that Hot Topic store card payment in 2008.”
💡 In conclusion:
Credit cards are humanity’s way of saying:
“I want it now, I’ll worry later, and please don’t show me the statement.”
They’re a magical portal to convenience, a slippery slope to debt, and an iconic symbol of modern life — like jeans, but with late fees.
