I’m not surprised smashing stuff in Donkey Kong Bananza is enjoyable. In the tutorial alone, I, like many others, spent ages demolishing everything I could get my (giant gorilla) hands on, and it’s a given that something designed well enough to distract from the main attraction like that is still going to feel good 10 or 20 hours later.

Nintendo has given fans a rare peek behind its development curtain, and a look at how upcoming Switch 2 platformer Donkey Kong Bananza would have looked on Switch 1.

Nintendo finally brought back Donkey Kong into full 3D after 26 years, but there's another legendary Nintendo series that must return as well.
