Another in the line of Nintendo Power branded VHS tapes from the 90’s, this 1997 edition featuring a “TV news” style report on the upcoming Diddy Kong Racing: “The comedic slant to the promo videos continued in late 1997 with “Hot Topic”, a video focused on Diddy Kong Racing. This time, the format was that of a newscast, with host Trent Tillman interviewing various correspondents in the field (a couple have punny names like Dent Chassis) about the game. In other words, they’re all acting like Diddy and co. are real people. The video had a distinctive ‘70s feel for some reason, from the fashion to the decor. Frustratingly, as with the Star Fox 64 video, no credits are featured at the end, meaning the cast and crew info is seemingly lost to time.“ Source: TVTropes.org Diddy Kong Racing Rare Nintendo 64, 1997 Timber the Tiger’s parents picked a fine time to go on vacation. When they come back, they’re going to be faced with an island trashed by the spiteful space bully Wizpig - unless the local animals can do something about it! So join Diddy Kong as he teams up with Timber the Tiger, Pipsy the Mouse and Taj the Genie in an epic racing adventure unlike anything you’ve ever experienced before! by Shawn S
