Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Donkey Kong Bananza

A smash hit?
www.nintendolife.com www.nintendolife.com
Donkey Kong Bananza is releasing around the world, and it's a big hit! It's pretty much Donkey Kong's take on Super Mario Odyssey, fitting since it's by the same team. There's Donkey Kong nostalgia all over the place, and the gameplay looks fun.
Plus, for fans who waited for their return, the Kremlings are back with even nastier intentions than VoidCo.

Screw the first party games! Let the flood of games from other major studios come into this console now that hardware limitations are far less of a bother!

Though some people have already joked this is a game key card direct.

Believe me, there are some third-party titles from other consoles that I'd really like to see on Switch and Switch 2, like the Mega Man Legends games, and Tekken. If we're lucky, Microsoft might bring a Rare game to them.

There were three games that caught my eye. The brand-new Katamari game looks like it's gonna be a blast. The 45th anniversary celebration of Pac-Man continues with a remake of Pac-Man World 2, which I think is nice. Makes me wonder if and when Pac-Man World 3 or even World Rally will get the Re-Pac treatment. And they're bringing the original Plants vs. Zombies over to Switch. Normally I ignore EA games, but for the nostalgia, I think I'll make an exception.

If there isn't one before then, in the second week of September we'll have a General Nintendo Direct 100%. The reason? On Sunday 14th it's the 40th anniversary of Super Mario. So I think as part of that during that week they will announce something Mario related, and they need a Direct to do so. They might do it on a simple Mario Direct, but if a General Direct is not done by then, then they will do one to cover both the upcoming games AND Mario's Anniversary in that week. We shall see how things will go for the rest of August first.

Uuuuuuuhhhhh one thing guys. There's one concern I have related to Nintendo and their recent behavior: that they might stay completely silent on their future games until all the first party games that have a release date are released. It's already bad enough that they're gonna wait until the release date of the Upgrade/DLC of Kirby and the Forgotten Land (August 28th), but the thing is... that game is not the remaining game with a confirmed date, the last one is... Pokemon Legends ZA... releasing on October 16th... they... wouldn't be so foolish to remain deadly silent until after that day to give more informations on their upcoming games... right?

I have my doubts they will actually go that far because aside of Pokemon no first parties have release dates yet, and they cannot delay Metroid and Kirby, because in that way they would leave the rest of the year covered exclusivey by Pokemon (plus both Metroid and Kirby received ratings recentely, which means they're really close to release). It would be foolish to both rely on a (mediocre) game for the entire last third of the year OR to reveal the release dates of those two games at a few weeks from the releases. That's why they HAVE to do a Direct in September and can't wait until October to do it. (Chances of it being in August are null: this week Drag X Drive released, the next week there's the Gamescom, and then in the last one the Upgrade/DLC for Kirby and the Forgotten Land releases, so there's no way they would do a Direct in any of the remaining August weeks).

"People are getting antsy." Have people tried touching grass? It's August. Go outside. The silence from Nintendo will still be here afterward.

Try to go outside when there are 45-50°C...

Well it seems to me, and I could be wrong about this, that there will be a small September release, followed by Legends Z-A in October, then Kirby Air Riders in November, and then we finally get Metroid Prime 4 in December as our holiday title.
