>So we had the opportunity to offer a character that was familiar to long-time players, but had a new appearance that might be interesting for new folks as well.
Uh oh, it's not looking good for the "she's Mario's daughter" believers...

She was most likely de-aged somehow. The idea of her being Mario's daughter is just a whole lot of lore fags desperate to see Mario finally get some pussy.

Yeah, she was de-aged by the perfume bottle Poppy Kong is holding.

Tis a mystery we will have to find out when the game releases (or is leaked).

MacGuffin that allows her to revert to her kid form at will so she can continue to accompany DK on his cleanup missions.

I think their reasoning of having a human companion character in an absurd and abstract world makes sense. It might help people feel more grounded in an otherwise nonsensical world.

Nintendo seems to have no trouble with Splatoon, easily one of their most nonsensical IPs ever.

I really would be a lot more interested in this game if it wasn't donkey Kong. It doesn't make sense as a DK game. It feels like they just tacked him on because of the IP.

Wouldn't Wario have made more sense for this game? He's already been established as a wall smasher. This game could have been an evolution of that. Wasted opportunity.

They still put in collectibles to explain the lore and eventually did so in a lot of detail.

In the same interview, they also explained why the destruction mechanic is so big. Apparently the technology was already used and experimented on by a dev in Mario Odyssey (breaking through cheese in Lunchean and getting rid snow and stuff, etc). So they just expanded the technology so you could destroy full terrain and thought DK's strength and long limbs were fitting for the mechanic.

But Wario would have made way more sense. Especially for a cake/food level. Imagine eating your way to the finish line.

I guess. But Inklings are still human esque. A casual observer of splatoon could think they are just cartoon children paint spraying in a skate park.

DK is even bigger than Wario tho. Longer limbs.

Did you forget how DKC had smash walls and the ground for secrets or just bananas?

Splatoon isn't nonsensical, at surface level it's a basic sci-fi IP.

>mammals go extinct
>marine animals evolve and reclaim the earth

Simple premise, easy to understand. The hardest thing to grasp is the Inkling species, but that's why the "Squid Research Lab" reintroduces players to the Inkling each Splatoon Direct. That's all a 5 year old needs to understand the world of Splatoon. Bananza on the other hand has magical rock formations, zebra-gorilla transformations and skies beneath the surface of the planet.

you'll be carrying around Dixie instead.
She can't sing very well, so it's a little more challenging, but that's why it's post-game content.

As much as I want this to be a Wario game, he's not appealing enough to kids to move Switch 2 units.
