Marsupilami 2: Salsa Palombia (Switch, PS5, Xbox X/S, PC)

Marsupilami is a European comic book character who is a fictional animal with leopard-like spots and a super long tail.  He and his friends live in the jungles of South America but remains relatively obscure in the US.  Die-hard Disney Afternoon fans like myself may remember some bumpers involving Marsupilami and he even got some shorts on Disney’s Raw Toonage 90s Saturday morning cartoon.  He’s also been in a few video games and I reviewed one about five years ago.  And here’s the sequel to that.  Some ghostly skeletons are using a magic boom box to hypnotize all the animals in the jungle, and now it’s up to Marsupilami and his long tailed friends to stop them!  Marsupilami 2: Salsa Palombia is a 2D platformer that plays very much like Donkey Kong Country.  It’s available on most current consoles and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.

Pokémon Champions (Switch 1 & 2, Mobile)

There’s a new Pokémon game out that is probably this generation’s iteration of Pokémon Stadium or Colisseum.  Although seeing your Pokémon battle in 3D isn’t as big of a deal anymore, and neither is the ability to battle online.  So I guess this one just consolidates everything and lets you battle the Pokémon you’ve trained from all sorts of different games.  At any rate, it’s free-to-play so let’s take a look at it.  It’s available on Switch 1 & 2, and later mobile devices, but reviewed on Switch 2 here.

The Disney Afternoon Collection (Switch 1 & 2)

Back in the late 80’s and early to mid 90’s, Disney had a block of weekday after school cartoons on TV called The Disney Afternoon.  They featured such memorable and high-quality shows like DuckTales, Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers, TaleSpin, Darkwing Duck, and many more.  Tons of people, including myself, have very fond memories watching these cartoons as kids.  Game maker Capcom even made some bonafide classic games based on those Disney Afternoon cartoons.  About a decade ago, they released a collection of those games, and I reviewed it here, as well as wrote an extra special article about the cartoons and games here.  I loved that collection, but two things always baffled me.  Why wasn’t it released on Switch, and why was it missing two other SNES Disney Afternoon games?  Well now those questions are answered with The Disney Afternoon Collection on Switch 1 and 2!

Bananas for Minecraft

Dole is no stranger to video game promotions when it comes to their bananas.  Anyone remember Super Monkey Ball?  The Dole logo was placed all over the game, from the bananas you collect to balloons and blimps in the background.  And now Dole is teaming up with Minecraft for an even weirder promotion!  So let’s take a look at it.
