Early previews for Donkey Kong Bananza indicate strong potential, with comparisons to Super Mario Odyssey. Developed by Nintendo EPD Tokyo, known for Super Mario Galaxy, the secrecy surrounding key development staff is notable. The absence of new 3D Mario games since 2017 suggests a focus on this DK project. The creative leads on modern 3D Mario games are unconfirmed for new releases, while Nintendo's employee retention is notably high, contrasting with industry trends. The game is set to launch on July 17 for Switch 2, building anticipation as a must-have title.
Donkey Kong Bananza, developed by the team behind Super Mario Odyssey, is described as a potential Super Mario moment for the DK franchise.
