Nintendo is sticking with the one big first-party game per month approach on the Switch 2. That's why its new console only launched with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Mario Kart World. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Donkey Kong Bananza, the Switch 2's second big launch game, is right around the corner, though, and we just learned a lot more 𒉰a🐭bout it.

✱Just like it did for Mario Kart World, Nintendo held a special Direct dedicated to Bananza, during this, it revealed that Donkey Kong doesn't just have to be a monkey💎 in Bananza. The mascot has a power that will turn him into different animals, with the Direct showing us what DK looks like as a zebra and even an ostrich.

DK's bananas l🎐ook an awful lot like Mario's moons.

The power to transform into different animals is granted to Donkey Kong by Pauline. Yes, Pauline's inclusion in Bananza has now been officially confirmed. When Pauline sings, it turns Donkey Kong into a different animal, granting him new powers in 𝔉the process.

Even though Donkey Kong games have been released at a steady pace throughout Nintendo's console history, Bananza promises to be a real acid test for the series. It will be the first 3D platformer in which DK has been the star since 1999's 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Donkey Kong 64. It also appears to have been ma♉de with the help of Nintendo's 3D Mario team, although even with Bananza's Direct in the rearview mirror, we still ꦐdon't know that for sure.

Not only is Donkey Kong getting his first 3D game in more than 25 years, but Nintendo has also overhauled its ♒monkey mascot's design. A controversial decision at first, but one older Nintendo fans seem to have gotten used to after being exposed to the new-look DK in Mario Kart World. Not only was a tweaked design long overdue, but it appears to have been made with Donkey Kong's new movie look ಌin mind.
