Every day, the layout of the house resets, and it's completely different.

All right.

There actually are, despite this being such a great year for indies, a couple of big studio titles in the mix here.

And I'd love to sort of get to them very quickly.

One of them is called Death Stranding 2.

I don't know how to describe this game, but it is from one of the great minds of video game creation.

I promise you, the next game we're going to talk about is not about death.

This is one of the big Switch 2 games.

This is Donkey Kong Bonanza.

This is exclusive to the Switch 2 because it is about one of Nintendo's big characters.

Not Mario, not Zelda, but Donkey Kong is a game in which you go around and just bash the hell out of everything.

I bounced, as they say, pretty quickly.

My child beat the game.

He just wanted to go around and break stuff.

Nothing.

I can tell you that.

Nothing.

Before we wrap up here, however, I'd love to hear the two of you talk about other great games maybe that you played this year that didn't get, you know, quite as much hype as the list that we just went through.

Okay, let's take a short break.

And when we come back, as we do every week, we're going to play a game.
