Eurogamer is reporting this afternoon what we all suspected all along and that’s that the upcoming epic Donkey Kong Bananza was developed by the development team behind the sublime Super Mario Odyssey. The news was shared with the publication by Nintendo during a special preview event attended by Eurogamer. Donkey Kong Bananza launches exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2 on 17th July.
“The development team of Donkey Kong Bananza is the same as for Super Mario Odyssey.” So, that means that it’s coming from the production team of Nintendo’s famed Entertainment Planning & Development (EPD) group known for crafting the Switch’s premier 3D Mario Adventure.

Insanely obvious to tell but glad it’s true, by far the greatest development team under Nintendo’s wing
So, no news to anyone :P
Could have been splatoon team, or only helped out by Odyssey team. Glad they confirmed it early rather than let the in game credits tell us. Could have told us earlier, might have increased the buzz and preorders for the game.
When Pauline started to sing that song in direct, I literally said out loud “yep it’s them.”
And your 100% right.
*you’re
If it ends up being GOTY nominated in TGA, I hope they bring out whomever the singer is like they did with Odyssey.
Yep I knew it.
Too bad most of us won’t be able to play this game. Sigh…..
Expected, but I kinda hoped for a surprise. 🤷♂️
Why? I don’t mean to come across the wrong way or anything, but why and what do you mean by that?
To the surprise of 1% of the human population…
I mean, it was pretty evident from the initial trailer, but the confirmation is nice.
Everyone knew that. How far away is the next 3D Mario? Nintendo should do Mother 4, a open world F-Zero, and Star Fox.
