Donkey Kong Bananza’s DLC is a great nostalgia trip that’s not worth the cost of admission

Nintendo is literally bananas if it thought that charging nearly $20 for nostalgia wouldn't even turn the heads of hardcore Nintendo fans. Still, here we are, discussing the latest Donkey Kong Bananza DLC that was released late last week, and despite its stunning attention to detail, it's left a pretty sour taste in my mouth.

To its credit. The DLC adds a new DK Island area to the game that lets you walk down memory lane of many of Donkey Kong's previous games, from the DK 64 setting, to the Kremling Ship on the harbor, and a bunch of other areas that actually brought a tear to my eye as I looked around each area and found secret after secret to DK past. You can see THE labor of love that has gone into this area, but it doesn't really excuse some of its glaring problems—and the price is just one of them.
