It's been 8 years since they released Odyssey. This is probably closed being unveiled, right?

Bananza is Odyssey 2.

>>715548367 (OP)
You do realize what team's developing Donkey Kong Bananza, right?

It's called Donkey Kong Bananza. The Mario Odyssey team and engine are making Bananza. That's what they're working on. The team that would make Mario Odyssey 2, from the end of Mario Odyssey's development, have been making Bananza.

op is a fucking retard

>>715548367 (OP)
Fuck that, I want a linear level based 3d Mario again. Give me 3d world 2. (It probably wouldn't be called that)

...No? It's a new Donkey Kong game, not Mario, lmao.

Here, read this - Or at least skim it.
https://www.nintendo.com/us/whatsnew/ask-the-developer-vol-19-donkey-kong-bananza-part-1/

Just so you don't get in your head that Mario Odyssey's "B Team" or something are the ones making Bananza. There might possibly be a Mario game in development but if there is it isn't by the Odyssey team or part of the Odyssey lineage.

>>715548720
Maybe the Bowser's Fury crew are doing something.

>>715548461
I don't believe in "teams". At first I thought it was true that the "Odyssey Team" made it, but the more I've looked at footage the less Odyssey-like it seems. The UI is not done nearly the same way, and the Destruction Physics and "Open World" levels looks way more like it's made by a different kind of team setup. I believe the Odyssey Team largely transfered to the 3D World Team to make Bowser's Fury, to then switch over to the next Mario game.

This isn't Odyssey 2. It's kind of a small set of Odyssey extra devs and Monolith Soft making an "open world Donkey Kong 3D game". I believe Odyssey 2 is coming soon.

I think the next 3D Mario is still coming but they put a different team on it. I think it's going to be very different and maybe even a totally different kind of game. Wouldn't surprise me if it were seamless open world instead of individual stages. I think they wanted to give launch window promotion to DK because they already know Mario is a guaranteed hit anyway and they're trying to resurrect late 80s/90s DK cultural clout in time for his standalone movie.

>>715548367 (OP)
It's coming out in two days.

>>715548606
It's literally a Donkey Kong game though. stfu about "It's Odyssey 2". Don't you have eyes?

>>715548841
I don't want to play fucking Donkey Kong, though. I was looking forward to Mario Switch 2, and I bought a Switch 2 for it. There's always a "Main Mario" game on Nintendo.

>>715548367 (OP)
I can't wait for the seethe on this board when the next Mario game is announced and it's another 2D game.

>>715548867
Give it another 8 years before you ask about Mario Odyssey 2
The last 8 years the Mario Odyssey team were making Donkey Kong Bonanza

>>715548785
Anon the same people that made Odyssey are making Bananza. Do you think the UI designer from Odyssey is making a secret sequel to your game?

>>715548785
I can't believe anon above you was right that you'd cope about "side devs" holy shit.

>>715548367 (OP)
If we get this I’m gonna cum

>>715548367 (OP)
We're not going to see another 3D Mario game from the Odyssey team for a while for obvious reasons.
Realistically if we do get one It'll likely be from another team, 3D World team at best, Good-Feel if Nintendo is feeling suicidal.
>>715548949
I doubt they're going to immediately push out another 2D Mario, they'll probably do DLC for Wonder.

>>715549118
You won't. Mario Galaxy is a completed brand. This is like asking for a sequel to Sunshine or 64.

>>715549018
Fuck off.
I think that it just doesn't look like Mario Odyssey in spirit. I'm sure Mario Odyssey 2 has been prepared as the "Big game" for Switch 2. It also took around a year for Mario Odyssey to come out for Switch 1, and IIRC the console came out sooner in 2017 than Switch 2 did this year, so there's probably a Nintendo Direct this July to announce it after DK Bananza is released.

>>715548445
This
8 years of time development for odyssey 2 wasted on fucking horrible shovelware

Literally Nintendo's Starfield

>>715548949
>"open world" 2D Mario game
the horror

>>715549610
>metroidvania mario game

>>715549610
Mentally ill nintendo cultists are suddenly going to pretend that Kirby and the amazing mirror was actually not dogshit just to shill a new open world 2D mario game

What does Odyssey 2 mean to people who ask for it? I assume they just want another 3d Mario. Does Cappy need to return? Do you specifically want the open exploration style?

>>715549776
fuck you i liked kirby and the amazing mirror

>>715549342
Mario 64 2 will come out in 2026, trust.

It doesn't matter what you think. The director for Mario Odyssey has spent the last eight years directing Donkey Kong Bananza. He has worked with the same staff that he worked with on Mario Odyssey. What staff, what director do you think is secretly working on a sequel to a nearly ten year old game? ALL of the people who would have been working on Mario Odyssey 2 immediately started work on Donkey Kong Bananza after Mario Odyssey was completed. Mario Odyssey is a completed game, the brand is completed, they won't be doing a sequel. If it was planned these are the people who would be working on it. There may be a 3d Mario game in the world, but it isn't Odyssey related if it does exist, because the people who work with the Mario Odyssey engine are using it to make Donkey Kong Bananza.

>>715549991
Are you also going to tell us that you enjoy choking on cock?

>>715550056
Who made Bowser's fury?

There has never been a direct sequel to a 3D Mario game that wasn't an asset flip. Why would that change now? They're working on the next 3D Mario with some weird new mechanic

>>715548445
>they put the Mario team to make a Donkey Kang game
>no new 3D Mario in five or more years

>>715550056
Koizumi is probably working on an open world Mario that Bowser's Fury was a proof of concept for.

>>715550324
Donkey Kong is better than Mario in every way when it comes to 2D, so if the same is true in 3D then that's a good thing.

>>715550224
>>715550384
A Bowser's Fury sequel would not be a Mario Odyssey 2. If what you're asking for is open world Mario, like... Maybe? Maybe there is a team working on a 3d Mario? I was never denying that a possibility. The thread specifically is about Mario Odyssey 2, with Cappy and Power Moons and enemy capture mechanics. That isn't happening, because the people who would make that have been exclusively working on Bananza.

>>715550438
I wouldn't say so. They're very different. Donkey Kong stages usually aren't there to be beaten or at least flowed through the first time through, especially later on. Mario games are about teaching a mechanics early on so you can hit flow in a new stage and usually clear it with gold reactive execution. DK stages are about learning and then optimizing.

>>715550776
The only thing stopping you from flowing through a DKC stage the first time is skill. 2D Mario (after World) is just so piss easy that they give the flow for free to anyone who can hold a controller.

>>715550231
Yeah, they only reason they even did Galaxy 2 in the first place was that they just wanted it to be an expansion to Galaxy 1, but they had so many ideas for it, they were like "Fuck it, make it a new game". But because it was a direct sequel to a 3D Mario game at all, I guess that's just broken people's minds even to this day

I hope not. I hated the cap mechanic and the random worlds so much. I wish we could get a game that is more ethereal like sm64

>>715548367 (OP)
bruh that game was my childhood frfr

>>715550886
Not so, especially on SNES a lot of the traps don't allow you to Intuit them due to screen and sprite size. Things like Zingers starting off screen to specifically punish you if you're moving at top speed through a section are very common.
