Donkey Kong Country Returns, originally released for the Wii in 2010, is coming to the Switch

stp2y0 CommentsNews, , , , ,
It's been about a decade since Nintendo released a new game in the Donkey Kong Country series — and while there isn't a new one coming any time soon, there is a port of one you may have missed on its way. Donkey Kong Country Returns, originally released for the Wii in 2010, is hitting the Switch on January 15, 2025. It was a fine game for its time, and I'm hopeful it'll hold up well some 15 years later. At the very least, the controls should be simpler, as Nintendo won't be forcing motion controls into the mix with…

Measured now supports your favorite Kotlin platform

stp2y0 CommentsNews, , , , , , , , ,
Measured now supports tons of Kotlin targets like iOS and all Apple platforms, Android Native, Linux, etc. So you can work with units of measure seamlessly no matter where you app runs. Measured makes units of measure simple by providing intuitive, strongly-typed (i.e. compile-time enforced) units that combine using normal mathematical operations. val velocity = 5 * meters / seconds val acceleration = 9 * meters / (seconds * seconds) val time = 1 * minutes // d = vt + ½at² val distance = velocity * time + 1.0 / 2 * acceleration * time * time println(distance )…

The Morning After: The biggest announcements from Nintendo Direct

stp2y0 CommentsNews, ,
Nintendo sidestepped sharing the spotlight with all the other gaming companies at Summer Game Fest last week, promising its own Direct later in June. And that happened yesterday, teasing a lot of new games with Nintendo favorites. Mario games, yes. Zelda games, yes, and even a new Metroid game, confirmed. (More on that below the fold).The funny thing is the new Zelda game is all about… Zelda. You play as the princess in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. It opens where most Zelda games finish, with Link defeating Ganon. But just as he frees Princess Zelda, our usual…
