Donkey Kong Bananza is the latest entry in the Donkey Kong franchise. Little is known about the game as of right now, but we do know it’s a 3D platformer with a fairly destructible terrain where the player controls Donkey Kong on his latest banana-fueled quest deep in an underground world as he faces off against VoidCo, a pack of pesky primates seeking to gobble up every golden banana in sight.

My feelings are mixed, especially with that $70 price point. But what are your thoughts on the title? Discuss.
I have hated this redesign ever since the Mario Kart leaks and seeing it in action has not changed my mind. I much preferred the Rareware design, even if it did mean licensing issues.
DK looks too furry. I know he’s supposed to be a gorilla or whatever and gorillas look like that, but it feels like it will not look good in-game. The cartoony, plastic-y texture just felt better… maybe my mind will change though.
I quite like DK’s angry or malicious grinning expressions as they feel very Donkey Kong to me, but the rest of his mannerisms are extremely ill-fitting to his voice and character. IMO the redesign would work really well if it was tweaked in a couple of areas, but Nintendo didn’t hire me or my dad to work on the game so
Well ever since the new game appeared after the Super Mario movie, people were hyping for Donkey Kong appearing but after years, the expressiveness of Donkey Kong will be new which will make him a bit goofy but more naturally attuned instead of just the poker-face eyes only. I liked his original Rareware design, but I think the new design will begin to grow on me.
The main villains look cool though. I really like the female simian btw.
