A new Donkey Kong game, Donkey Kong Bananza, is coming exclusively to the Nintendo Switch 2 in just a few months from now. Nintendo showcased a lot of gameplay for it in its Nintendo Treehouse streams, but it’s very likely that the company still has more to share about the game in the near future. In fact, Nintendo may have unintentionally revealed more about the game recently.
You see, the official Nintendo of Korea website for the Switch 2 games, particularly Donkey Kong Bananza, accidentally had a picture of the game with Pauline in it. Her appearance in the picture is also suggesting that she’ll have significance to the game, potentially as a partner character similar to the purple character we were introduced to in the Nintendo Treehouse gameplay.


DROP THE PRICE
I agree, drop the price of the PS5 pro and 5090.
He was talking about the Switch 2. Not PlayStation.
Confirmed brain dramage.
Really boring now. I expected to come on to this story and find inane comments about the price but I’m still disappointed to see it. Grow up.
If this crap is starting here to, then … 🤨
Drop your IQ
What about his number 1 sidekick Diddy Kong?
what about Donkey Kong Jr.?
Isn’t current Donkey Kong not Donkey Kong Jr.?
IMO it breaks the canon, why cranky looks older than mario and pauline and why both of them don’t look older than “current” DK?
It’s an easy explanation, actually. Cranky Kong, when he was Donkey Kong, was already a fully grown, middle aged gorilla during the events of the original Donkey Kong game while Mario was still young so when Donkey Kong Jr got older & became the new Donkey Kong, OG DK became Cranky Kong. Also, Melee & Brawl refer to Cranky as the original DK. Even the original Donkey Kong Country heavily implies Cranky is OG DK because the game starts with Cranky on a red girder, the very thing DK stood on at the top of every stage in the Donkey Kong games.
(I REALLY need to catch up on my MNN emails before I’m 2 months behind. Already 2-3 years behind on my YT videos. And nearing 10 years behind on my video games backlog. 😫😭💀)
Plus, he’s not human. Most other animals on this planet age & die faster than us.
I was wondering about that myself. It’s no fun without Diddy Kong.
She’s adorable :D
She’s hot.
I hope you said that before actually seeing the image because she’s very young in this…
I didn’t see no Image of her yet.
Yeah no bro. It’s best you see the image before you say that. She looks 6 years old LMFAOOOOOO
It was the hacker. Not me.
Dude, are you the hacker or the real galaxy?
I can firgive you for being a furry but this comment of yours (if you are the real one) is very diagusting.
Sorry the hacker said that not me. Don’t pay no attention to him.
But why it took long enough to notice when the other times you took action almost immediately and why haven’t you complained to get those comments deleted as before?
I did send it to sickr about that a while ago. Plus I changed my password on my account and made it even harder now.
I mean how hard it is for someone on this blog to impersonate another one? You just need their profile pic and their name that you can change anytime. It’s really not that safe, and people can have their identity stolen in literal seconds. Wish there was a way that showed the email close to their accounts
Well the hacker been doing this for about 1 year now and I’m still getting tired of him impersonating me and he been using other accounts to impersonate me which I asked sickr by sending him a message to remove the hacker comments and his accounts that has alternate names of my username on another article on this site. He still trying to ruin my good name as usual.
Two things:
1. The Odd Rock definitely is Pauline as she has a bracelet in the art that looks exactly like it.
2. This is probably spoilers as Nintendo hasn’t announced or shown this yet.
She looks awfully young I’m wondering if theirs some time travel shenanigans involve or some weird scientific effect that’s going maybe a fountain of youth thing involved.
I just see it as a game that happens before the original donkey Kong tbh
Cranky Kong is in it and is already referencing older stuff so I don’t think that’s possible.
Oh damn…what if it’s not Pauline and Mario finally got laid and made a baby with Pauline?
I wouldn’t think about that about Mario getting laid with her right now. Nintendo did made it clear before that Mario and Pauline are just friends. Not lovers.
That’s probably the real reason why she looks so young. I can’t quite tell if she is 6 years old or not. Because she wears the same bracelet as the original one.
I don’t mind this game, in fact i know lots of people crave a 3D donkey Kong, but I do hope retro studios will bring another 2d game with all the characters from returns and tropical, it would also complete the trilogy and now retro will be wrapping up mostly on mp4 too.
Personally I wouldn’t hold out.
I think the redesign is evidence that Nintendo is reabsorbing DK into the Mario universe, officially splitting with Rare’s universe.
So I’m expecting a 3D crossover between Mario and Donkey Kong.
Quote me:
Mario and Donkey Kong are going to be in the same universe again.
Nintendo is abandoning Rare’s DK to bring him back into the Mario Universe.
Mario X Donkey Kong will be on Switch 2.
What a waste. Abandoning an entire universe with his unique aesthetics and designs just to Mariofy Donkey Kong. Hopefully Wario doesn’t get the same treatment.
It’s one of the games that interests me the most on the new switch, it looks fun, funny and above all it brings something new
DROP THE KONG
🤨
