One reason to buy the Switch 2

Donkey Kong Bananza Feel as powerful and ruthless as a massive, silly monkey with bananas in the brain. This world should be fragile. The inhabitants of the 17 main classes of the game are happy to see their homes, break their furniture or even break them (don’t worry, this lovable, light -eyed “fractones” grow back). It would be a senseless escape if the young Pauline does not ride on his back. It offers encouragement and direction. In the rare calm moments of the game, Pauline shares her fears with her mom monkey companion. She is afraid of many things like most children – spiders, poison and heights. But she finds comfort in the fact that DK is there. It is like leading a child hand in hand through a beautiful adventure. She feels safe with her and as a player I wanted to make sure that I deserve this trust.

Say Donkey Kong Bananza Hooked ME is an understatement. Nevertheless, I know that his defects are good. Sometimes the camera cannot keep pace with the players with the surface or in DK-shaped holes in walls. There are rare points in the game where the number of objects flying over the screen for Switch 2 is too much, which leads to framework waste. DK climbs with such a speed that he can hardly control, especially if you try to exchange from one plane to another. Many deaths felt deserved; I went full monkeys and buried myself from a cliff. Other deaths let me sigh when I saw my gold box went down. I was never left gold -free, but as an obsessive completed, I injured a single nugget that was not shot down.

If there is a big complaint that I have, Nintendo has not all used New control options available. The only instance of the Joy-Con 2 mouse controls is in two-player mode. A second controller controls Pauline, who aims at the screen and shoots words like a baking montage tower. It’s not a difficult game. I only died a few times from all bosses in all kilometers deep underground, whether they were huge monsters or one of the three main neses – three kongs of the Void company, which was led by the Maniacal empty kong, and normally because I had already switched off my brain while I had dispatched the most recent crater, which I had not moved into the ground. Exploration only requires an ounce more brain performance if you are looking for different Banandium edelstones to improve Donkey Kong’s skills or fossils in order to recharge your ambalance, DK and Pauline in Swanker-Maving.

A week after the start is enough to think about the place that Donkey Kong has in Nintendos Lexikon. Games like Legend of Zelda: breath of the wilderness And Super Mario Odyssey On the original switch, set the tone for what the players could expect. Both were incredible games that felt all the better because they could make the console unique. The And change Was a device with low performance, and yet we would not find any other mass market game that would have the same feeling of exploration as Botw until the botw Elden ring. Sony needed more than seven years to find a studio that a game as imaginative as Odyssey In the form of the delightful Astro Bot.

Now Nintendo has a completely new console that is much more powerful than before. No, it is not as strong as an Xbox series X or PlayStation 5. It does not have to be the case if the developers in the various teams from Nintendo are so good at creating games that were built with the hardware. In A Q&A posted by NintendoPresent Bananzas Developers (many of whom worked Odyssey) said the game was created as the original switch title – similar to Mario Kart World started his development. The team decided to use the Voxel technology to build the destructible terrain of the game world. Imagine that there could be a pixel in a three -dimensional network, and you approach how this looks in programming terms. It is the same technology that is used in games as used Deep Rock Galactic To help her dwarfs dig through mountains of rocks.

In BananzaEven the enemies are made of Voxel. While some levels in Odyssey Used Voxel technology, it was in limited quantities and on certain levels. The Switch 2 has more RAM available—12 GB compared to 4 GB on the upper floor handheld. Of the Switch 2 RAM, 3 GB is devoted to the total amount of the system’s base software. With only 9 GB available RAM and improved CPU functions, the developers of Nintendo have produced a completely destructive world in which a cavalcade of different physics objects can move on the screen and at least maintain a stable image rate of 60 fps for most of the time. Nintendo’s strongest capital was to create games for the hardware. Bananza Is what happens if you give the development teams more resources to exceed what is possible.

You cannot put Donkey Kong in a basket (he would probably only hit it out and leave a 5-foot hole in her wall). It is a collection a-thon that shares as much of the same DNA as Super Mario Odyssey. It is a cathartic action game. It is a game about discovery, exploration and expression of the player. But in the heart it is a physics-based puzzle action title. They didn’t get many of them on the original switch, especially towards the end of their lifespan. This makes sense because the system simply had neither the memory nor the CPU performance to process a variety of physics simulations for dozens of objects at the same time.

The game is full of optional combat areas and puzzle environments. Most of them rely on a certain mechanic who was introduced for every level, but sometimes they feel that Nintendo plays his muscles for where he can push the switch. An unforgettable level in the freezer calls the players to hit a path through snow in order to fill dozens of small ice crystals – like a large Pachinko snow machine.

This does not mean that the Switch 2 is somehow a secret console power plant. We know what’s going on inside, but it does something Donkey Kong Bananza is able to achieve so much more impressive. The world of Bananzas The underground environment is picturesque, both in appearance and in the colors of every underground card almost pastel. The hairy monkey that is always in the middle of the screen is more detailed than the rest of the area. All media are an illusion to a certain extent, but Nintendo hides the fault lines better than most companies, especially if it has more space to exceed game details.

What will be seen with the rest of Nintendos Switch 2 titles from Nintendo will be if he can maintain this family tree. Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa told investor At the beginning of this month that longer development cycles are “inevitable”, especially if the players expect more from their games. Joost van Dreunen, analyst for video game industry reported The number of full -time employees from Nintendo rose to 8,205 in 2025, at least on the basis of corporate financing. Nintendo must maintain the pace in order to meet the expectations of the players. When future titles are as good and innovative as Donkey Kong BananzaWe won’t worry much.
