Have you heard about Diddy Kong's old render made new by becoming a bit hairier? You've probably heard about it since it's been all over the news sites and social media the past week. But is there any burning fur coming from all of this smoke? DK Vine weighs in on what this could mean!

Mini 014 - Hair Where Before There Was No Hair

Deep in the core of Donkey Kong and Rare fandom, DK Vine has long served as the root for celebrating the games branching off from Donkey Kong Country. Online since 1999, we've covered the launch of Donkey Kong 64, Donkey Kong Bananza, and everything between. And our golden fruit that tastes the sweetest? The Kongversation, the ripest Donkey Kong Universe audio program that's been nourishing ears since 2013.

It's a new era for the Donkey Kong series. If you're just getting deeper into the fandom, be sure to give us a listen. And if you've been living underground for some time, you'll know we also cover related properties like Banjo-Kazooie, Conker, Dinosaur Planet, Sea of Thieves, Yooka-Laylee, and much more. Our mouths may be rancid, but we've still got Hearts of Gold.
