If you’re curious here’s [https://donkeykong.fandom.com/wiki/Cranky_Kong] an in-depth rundown of Donkey “Cranky” Kong Senior’s history! Also, for good measure, he’s a pic of the kids playing the Switch after getting it!

If that’s something you’d be interested in check out the Hyperkin website [https://www.hyperkin.com/game-consoles.html], they have all sorts of retro gaming options on there. They come with controllers, but you can also plug in your own if you still have them lying around.
