Launching off of last week's tangent about the Nintendo Powers Supply catalog, Hyle and Chad devote a two-part episode to the Donkey Kong Universe merchandise found in these 1990's treasure troves... but first, thanks to our bizarre listeners, we talk about 9/11!

With segments of Donkey Kong Country fandom gnashing their teeth over the seeming lack of promotion and slow release of news over Tropical Freeze, Hyle and Chad take a look back at how things were done in the pre-release months of the mid-'90s and why everyone should chill the hell out.

December dream

The last snowfall in August

The darkest nightmare

For no toothy grins

And Thanksgiving lust

Don't cry darling, don't cry

They'll still buy

December dream

Don't bitch on me now

December dream

'Cause the price got marked down.

Hyle and Chad answer a listener's question left on the DK Vine Hotline (1-281-410-KONG), then dig into the week's topic. Why does the Donkey Kong Country series seem to be perpetually shat upon by the gaming press? There are many reasons we postulate, and they're ALL CORRECT.

Why has there never been a proper Donkey Kong Country/Super Mario game? A respectable Super Mario/Sonic? Hyle and Chad explore these pertinent issues (eventually) and discuss some of the cool ideas that Nintendo is overlooking by relegating the franchises to only meeting in Lemmings clones and Olympic-shilling shovelware.
