Try to consciously focus more on the positives.

I'm sure there are games other than Donkey Kong that you enjoy. What about recent/upcoming games like Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Fire Emblem Three Hopes, Xenoblade 3, Splatoon 3, Bayonetta 3, Pokémon Scarlet/Violet, Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, Breath of the Wild 2, etc?

You are only making it worse for yourself by obsessing over the things that make you feel bad. You'll feel much better if you focus on what you have instead of what you don't, on what you like instead of what you hate.

Donkey Kong is more than a game I enjoy. Donkey Kong Country is the first game I ever played. My father taught me how to play it. It synched with me more than Mario ever has. To not have new Donkey Kong games is like a big whole in my very being has been left wide open with nothing to fill it.

Then again, find something else to focus on. Play games you enjoy. Look forward to other games on the way. Focus on the many things you have to be thankful for.

If you have a roof over your head, clean water to drink, food to eat, and money to afford luxuries like video games then you're already better off than most of the world's population.

Constantly complaining and fixating on things that make you unhappy is pointless.
