I have been a little under the weather recently so it felt like a good time to start a playthrough of another game that I know pretty well. Tonight, on the Stevetendo show, we’re starting a Donkey Kong Country playthrough. Donkey Kong Country was one of the first Super Nintendo games I played when I was a kid because we didn’t get the Super Nintendo when it launched. We got it later in the lifespan of the system as a Christmas present and I have loved every minute of it.

For those who don’t know, Donkey Kong Country was one of the first games to convert three-dimensional models into SNES sprites. This was a way for Donkey Kong Country to stand out from other platform games out at the time like Super Mario World. Set to go live at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET, join the Stevetendo show for the start of a Donkey Kong Country playthrough!

Shackers who want to join in on the fun can head over to the Shacknews Twitch channel, where you can tune into the Stevetendo show every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. If you can't make tonight's show, you can watch Monday nights at 6 p.m. PT/9 p.m. ET. We'll have new playthroughs starting up next week on the Stevetendo show so stay tuned.

It’s a new year and that means new games will be coming out soon. That also means there will be plenty of new guides and videos that the hard working Shacknews staff will create for you to use. To show how much you care, use the guides to help you play your favorite games. You could also subscribe to the Shacknews Twitch channel with Prime Gaming. Doing things like that allows the channel to continue to push out great shows and quality entertainment.

Keep coming up with new games that you’d love to see on the Stevetendo show. If it’s on the Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch Online service, it has a great chance to be played on the program. There will always be a need for new games to be played on the show and I'm open to suggestions!
