Donkey Kong Bananza Looks Like The Mario Odyssey Successor No One Expected

Sporting a goofy sense of humor and mechanics that reward curiosity and experimentation, this is the most ambitious DK has been in years.

Donkey Kong Bananza Is the Switch 2’s True Successor to Super Mario Odyssey - IGN

As someone whose favorite Nintendo mascot is Donkey Kong, Bananza seems to be shaping up to be the 3D Donkey Kong game that I’ve been waiting decades for. For Mario fans still waiting for Nintendo to announce the next major 3D Mario game, Bananza looks set to be a worthy substitute in the meantime.

Donkey Kong Bananza reaches for smashing variety and a Rare energy - hands-on

Time flying is always a sure-fire sign of something that’s good - so this formula might just be a winner.

3 hours with Donkey Kong Bananza reveals its depth – but can it really match Mario? | VGC

Switch 2’s first big platformer has charm and imagination, but there could yet be more under the surface…

Donkey Kong Bananza is a destructive delight that's basically Super Mario Odyssey+, and I can't believe it wasn't a Switch 2 launch title

Hands-on | After playing 2.5 hours of Donkey Kong Bananza, I reckon the Switch 2 has found its Super Mario Odyssey

I played the demo while killing the at Best Buy. Was that just an in-store thing and the demo not available on the eShop?
 
This game is going to cost me over £450 :messenger_grimmacing_ pretty excited guys

Nah I already needed a Switch 2 just for Metroid Prime 4 + TotK + Echoes of Wisdom to look and play the best anyway, my lady maths thinking is I'll further divide the price of the console every time theres a game I need a S2 for

So currently I'm at £105 per game 🥳

Plus replaying some indies that ran like shit on S1 due to CPU limits will be nice too, eg Good Job!

I really hope they release an update for Luigi's Mansion 3 that let's it run at 60fps or maybe more realistically ups the render resolution massively

Since I reckon the physics simulation code will be tied to the framerate or similar problem which makes unlocking the framerate problematic

No exaggeration, playing TOTK on Switch 2 is a transformative experience. 👌
 
Super Mario Odyssey was hands down the best Switch game.

This is the big one right here and I fully expect it to be one of the best Switch 2 games even when all is said and done with the console.

As good as Mario Kart World is, I don't think it hit the heights of a truly amazing game like this looks like it may be.

Sounds great, really looking forward to it! - though if this is made by the Mario team... Who's doing Mario?

Seems like a fun game to eventually play once it's confirmed that an OLED model is or isn't coming.

As someone with a couple oled tvs, a deck oled, and loves oleds, people who post in anything switch 2 related to state they're gonna wait for an oled model are rising up the charts of most annoying posters.

Those IGN guys are insufferable, they've both got cheese in their ears and can't understand each other "I played for two hours" "YOU PLAYED FOR THREE HOURS?!" and the guy who played it keeps saying "Ig-not Isle" over and over...

Jfc pal its a place filled with gold, put 2 and 2 together you spack, critical thinking is dead, people just repeat words and numbers they read and hear contemplation these days.

The other day a goblin came into my shop asked me for a remote control for an LG TV cause he had stuck his one up his dogs arse or something like that, I said "we dont have the official LG ones is that okay?" and he wailed "WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN", like how can you get that far in life (he was 40ish) without knowing what the word official means, boggles the mind really.

Brevity and simplicity is almost always the best course but sometimes more complicated words allow for brevity you know.

Just to tie this back to DK:B, he looked like one of the bad guys in this game, a horrific slathering monster of a not-so gentleman.

Looks fucking brilliant.

Just want to know about the frame rate.

There will be notable framerate issues in large areas when you destroy things.

There will also be camera issues underground.

Both of these problems are brought up a lot, but it seems its manageable and not a major issue. But issues nontheless.

Ordered from Costco, so I'll probably be about a week late to the party. But I'm still excited.
 
I'm getting Breath of the Wild type vibes from this game. I can't wait. This is the game that sold me on getting a Switch 2.
