Donkey Kong Bananza began development on the original Nintendo Switch before moving to Switch 2 | VGC

The game’s focus on voxel technology and destruction prompted the move to Switch 2…

I remember there was rumor about a DK game for his 40th anniversary. This was it.

Really curious how high the reviews will be, when this drops next week

I do wish Nintendo would do a bundle with this, like they did for Mario Kart.

Wonder if it will review within the realm of odyssey or in the realm of kirby. I feel like nintendo needs for this to be their killer app.

also will be interesting to see how Nintendo fans treat the price increase.

I think it’ll settle in the high 80s on Metacritic.

I think they're fine with it. They were with TOTK being $70. I think everyone has accepted that $70 is the new MSRP for big games.

This game looks like a 83 ass game imo. I don't see it being better than Odyssey or even on par. It looks aimless from the videos I've seen with just you breaking down the entire place looking for bananas. I hope I'm proven wrong.

Mega64 will never top their OG RE4 skit

I for some reason never got to play DK64 even though I was a big 3D platformer fan especially during the N64 era. I played Banjo Kazooie, Conker, Mario 64, even garbage like Chameleon Kid but didn't get around to Dk64.

Sounds like GOTY material.

DK64 was a collectathon hell
