Borderlands 4 boss Randy Pitchford is encouraging people to request refunds if they aren't enjoying the newly launched game, and now one publisher known for being cheeky has weighed in and offered up an alternative.

Donkey Kong Bananza was a smashing hit when it landed as one of the Nintendo Switch 2's earliest major exclusives, so it makes perfect sense that Nintendo would capitalize on its success with some DLC.
