It's time once again for Stinky Ape Summer! While last year was all about the launch of the Switch 2 and Donkey Kong Bananza, this Stinky Ape Summer begins with Donkey Kong 64 coming to Nintendo Switch Online later today. Our annual kickoff Kongversation on Twitch will then stream on Thursday at 10 AM EDT/7 AM PDT (3 PM BST)!

As usual, we'll be covering the Xbox Showcase, Playtonic announcements, and a potential Nintendo Direct over the next few weeks. However, Stinky Ape Summer will also encompass Emerald Rush events, Donkey Kong's 45th anniversary, the release of the Super Pocket Rare Edition, and casual check-ins on the new Star Fox game. Who knows what surprises await us over the next three months?
