Episode 15: Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong’s Double Trouble! (SNES)

This week, we're covering the final release in the DKC trilogy on the SNES with Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! Released in November 1996, just before the final year of the SNES' lifecycle, DKC3 would be among one of the best swan songs to the console you could hope for. A unique open world inspired by the European countryside, nearly 50 levels, over 100 secrets, bigger and badder enemies, a trade quest with a family of bears - DKC3 had everything you could ask for in a new adventure - why didn't people like this one as much as 2? Deucy and I break down the development, reviews, and all of our memories for this underappreciated gem. DKC3 was in a rough spot with the N64 being brand new and against PSX and all of the incredible games that released in 1996. Join us as we give our final thoughts into the trilogy and what our favorite of the three were. We'll conclude our DK miniseries next week with Donkey Kong 64, an incredible (but more bloated than Donkey Kong after a banana binge) and ambitious game for the Nintendo 64!
