Best Nintendo game since mario galaxy

you mean odyssey?

oops wrong pic

EPD Tokyo I kneel.

I think whoever drew this owes DK and Nintendo an apology.

Too easy to be the best anything.

>>716152932
holy brainrot

Wokefags don't even reference Harry Potter anymore, fail.

Best collectathon ever.
Maybe the best 3D platformer? Having to seriously think about it.

So it's a solid 7?

>>716152932
DK always liked bananas you dumb faggot. you never played the games.

>>716152489
Bananza is better plus Unreal Engine holds Pikmin 4 back. Sad to think it would have been 60fps with much bigger levels of it wasn't for Dogshit Engine.

>t. Nintenchad

>>716154763
He never soigaped like a millennial reddit beard nintendie over them though.
Key difference. Nu-kong is bereft of masculinity.

>>716151923 (OP)
It's PEAK

>>716154284
As much as I enjoy bananza it’s not even the best modern 3d platformer. That honor belongs to astro bot.

>>716155559

>>716151923 (OP)
but galaxy was shit? I think bananza is the best version of the botw formula so far, but honestly they got to stop it and make real games again.

>>716155039
Culture war brain rot.

>>716155559
AB has goated level design, polish, and player feedback. The free update challenge levels are still getting added a year after release, and they all kick ass. That said, you kinda can't do shit in AB except jump, float, and one designated powerup move at a time. As someone who loves AB and can't afford a shitch2 (yet), DKB looks like it might dethrone it for me.
>Linear Platformer
>Semi-Open Collectathon
Kinda apples to oranges anyway.

>>716151923 (OP)
Clearly it is GOTY, but the more I play it the more I think it is a legit GOTD contender

>>716155559
Oh look the Astro Turf snoy shills are at it again

>>716151923 (OP)
Mario Galaxy isn’t even the best game with the words “Mario Galaxy” in the title

>>716155559
>That honor belongs to astro bot.
Lol
Lmao even

>>716152489
How do I know if I’d like Pikmin? I watched some gameplay online and didn’t think it would appeal to me, but I know that could be deceiving.

>>716157249
play pikmin 1. if you dont like it then its over

>>716151923 (OP)
It's a great game for zoomers and generation alphas.

>>716155039
>gets upset over a cartoon gorilla saying "ooh, banana"
Seriously please reflect on your life. This is pathetic.

>>716151923 (OP)
>Best Nintendo game since mario galaxy 2
Fixed that for you.

>>716158673
i agree with that, if you have 8-10 years old getting this game must feel magical, like playing an interactive children’s book, hope the young ones enjoy it.

>>716158302
>I feel like the bananza swapping felt like DMC style swapping, but didnt get utilized much
>level structure and collectables is more like sonic frontiers than botw thankfully
>transformations made me kinda feel like it could have worked as a wario game too. especially with all the digging for gold on top of that.
>environments are like mincraft but the placing terrain ability is hardly used which is honestly not that bad

>>716158673
I am a millenial, I played my brother's SNES as a kid and then got a N64 as my first personal console. Bananza is a masterpiece.

>>716154763
What makes you think I drew it? Whoever is responsible needs to apologize.

>>716159050
I drew it and I won't apologize.

>>716158692
Which was from DK 64 anyway.

>>716159823
>DK 64
HE

>>716153260
Anons don't say fail anymore, cringe.

I hate how easy it is.
What are the chances of getting a hard mode or NG+?
I'm new to Nintendo.

>>716151923 (OP)
it's okay but it feels less polished than Odyssey. anyway they did amazing job with the level design considering you can dig through almost everything, it still kind of works

>>716161545
Zero

>Best Nintendo game
>I hate how easy it is.
>18+ website
bing bing wahoo

I just finished the game like 10 minutes ago. I bought a switch 2 for this game and god damn am I glad I did. Just pure good game. The trailers made me think the story was going to be a bigger part of the game, but it never feels like its intruding on the experience. I'll eneter a level and just start monkeying around and stumble into the place I was "supposed" to be going unintentionally. Just superb level design. The finale was fucking kino too.

>>716161545
>hard mode or NG+
your ng+ is to speedrun the game with the knowledge obtained in your first playthrough

>>716152932
I don't care how good the game is, the nu design is still shit.

>>716158945
>>transformations made me kinda feel like it could have worked as a wario game too. especially with all the digging for gold on top of that.
I had exactly the same thought. This could just as well work as Wario World

>learning faster transforms just completely cucks you out of the hype "DEEEKAAAAYY!!" and other extended shouts
what the fuck man, glad I can reset skill points

>>716154763
He liked real bananas, not ones made out of inorganic matter.

>>716163747
t. never played 64

>>716157249
play Pikmin 1 on Dolphin

>>716163848
He never ate the golden bananas in 64 because he wasn't a cuck. Wokey Kong eats rocks because he's onions.

>>716155559
Ps5 blows, but hes right.

>>716152489
Based Pikmin4GOD

>>716164029
>because he's onions
nice one newfag

I don’t care if they’re gems or whatever but playing this game did make me hungry for bananas

>>716163848
When you go to where the golden banana hoard was in dk64, the large banana peels you slip on are real. Just because golden bananas are shiny doesn't mean they're not real bananas underneath. They don't show them literally breaking down into smaller rocks like in bananza with the inedible crap.

>>716157249
Emulate the first game. If not that then buy the switch ports used.

>>716162645
Why does he look like an albino black person

Shut the fuck up

>>716155559
Name 1(one) iconic character from Astro Bot. No, references to other games don't count. Astro is fun and plays well, but it has no identity of its own.

>the reveal that mob enemies in the game have been Kremlings all along
sheer cinema

>>716164294
Astro Bot

>>716155039
>He never soigaped like a millennial reddit beard nintendie over them though.
He literally fortnite danced to bananas since the start, my intellectually challenged friend.

>>716164294
I remember the monkey and the frog but I don't remember if that was Astro Bot or the first game that comes free with your PS5

>>716164225
How do you know the same isn't true of banandium? It could work the same way. And either way this is a retarded thing to take issue with. The game is so good you have to grasp at these straws though, I get it.

>>716164349
The ending of Bananza feels like fanfiction.

>>716154948
Lower the system resolution to 720p. Not kidding, digital foundry just did framerate tests on games with unlocked framerates. Docked only, though. Bananza benefits from the higher framerate, it's not a locked 60, but it's definitely better.

>>716151923 (OP)
It's criminal how this game is a 91 on metacritic. It needs to be much higher because it's so fucking good.

>>716164571
Odyssey kind of pulled a Sonic Adventure at the end so I guess continuing the tradition of autistic anime-tier climaxes is fitting.
Hope this team gets put to work doing a Wario game next.

>>716164571
Yeah I get it you hate fun

>>716164349
For me it's the implication that the mobs are specifically kremlings that died en route to the core, while the ones in the core have been alive for years waiting for K. Rool's return. A genuinely cool idea that feels totally in the spirit of the DKC games.
>>716164571
And that's a good thing.

>>716152489
God I hope this game gets a switch 2 upgrade…

>>716164571
It was kino thoughbeit

>>716164294
I don't think bananza has identify of its own either. Didn't the rebrand attempt to strip the identity by killing off almost all the kongs? They were originally gonna kill off k rool too but saw the back lash and stitched him in at the last second, which is why the transition looks so poor. Like starfox adventures with general scales transition into andross (which got poor reception).

>>716164349
Just got to that part.
I haven't been this floored by a twist in a long time, I have no idea how the fuck I didn't get spoiled

>Void even gets BTFO'd like Dedede in the smash trailer

>>716164749
Odyssey's is just a natural conclusion of the whole gimmick. It's all about possessing enemies, so at the end you possess Bowser. It's not that crazy. Odyssey doesn't end with "AND THEN KING K. ROOL SHOWS UP FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 20 YEARS AND KILLS THE MAIN BAD GUY AND ALL THE GENERIC ENEMIES WERE ACTUALLY KREMLINGS AND K. ROOL GOES SUPER SAIYAN BUT THEN ACTUALLY ITS A FAKE CREDITS LIKE DKC1 REMEMBER THAT? OK AND THEN YOU HAVE AN EPIC GANGPLANK GALLEON CHASE AND GO TO NEW DONK CITY AND THEN KING K. ROOL TAKES IT OVER AND ITS ALL ACTUALLY A PARALLEL TO THE ORIGINAL ARCADE DONKEY KONG AND THEN HE GOES EVEN SUPERY SUPER SAIYAN"
I'm not complaining though, it rocks, it just feels like a fever dream and out of line for Nintendo usually.

>>716163116
This Game as a Wario and Waluigi game would have been awesome, desu

>>716165226
>killing off almost all the kongs
Where did you get that idea?
>They were originally gonna kill off k rool too but saw the back lash and stitched him in at the last second
Oh, so you're just making shit up

>>716165227
I envy that you didn't get spoiled. I got way too greedy and looked up spoilers as soon as embargos lifted. Not normally something I do but I [spoilers]was so eager to see if our boy was back.

>>716158692
No no, the monkey is bereft of masculinity, you don't understand.

>>716165226
>stitched him in at the last second
Yeah, which is why all of the enemies in the game are undead Kremlings and Cranky hints at K. Rool the entire time. Retard.

>>716165237
Are you trying to sell the game

>>716151923 (OP)
>>716154284
>>716157061
>>716158946
What exactly is the appeal of this game? I've seen reviews and it just seems like you're just constantly smashing through stuff to find bananas in the ground. Is it more rewarding than it looks? I did love Odyssey but DKB looks so dull to me somehow.

>>716165501
I'm just describing it with the vibe it has, which is an autistic fan's deranged ramblings

I still think a 3D Mario is already completed or near completion and will release sooner rather than later. Maybe next year. I think they gave it to a different team.

>>716165531
>What exactly is the appeal of this game?
Big budget DK game by the Odyssey team that surpasses it in many ways

>>716165397
DK's masculinity is bespoke.

>>716165696
I'm betting 2027, and that it will be closest to Bowser's Fury, with a far larger world and some other gimmick for Mario to replace normal power-ups.

>>716165205
pauline basically feels non-existant the moment krool shows up. he just steals the spot light that hard

It's interesting how the basic kernel of this game is in Odyssey. That cooking level where you smash the cheese blocks and the ending of the game where you punch through walls with Bowser (even while scaling walls the same as DK) feels like the same basic idea. Like somebody on the team saw what they'd done and went "we can make a sick ass game out of that".

It should've been HIS game

>>716166262
I liked hearing her talk about K. Rool and the Kremlings. She's also watching her city get destroyed by him and commenting on it as you move through it.

>>716165531
>>716165725
You avoided his question. You guys keep saying it’s made by the Odyssey team and you’re creaming your panties about it. I get it. Is smashing shit all you do or not, bro?

Does DKC1 hold up? I wanna experience OG K. Rool now since he's so based in this

>>716165237
Dont forget the final fight is in the boxing ring from DK64

>>716166549
Yes now fuck off

>>716165531
I felt the same way but the level design is actually a lot more curated than it may seem from trailers. There are some bananas in the game that you can just brute force your way to but the devs came up with a lot of creative obstacles that prevent you from just mashing Y to win.

Is there a post game layer like how odyssey had post game kingdoms

>>716166657
Welp, that’s fricking gay, dude.

>>716166434
I just don't think the brand recognition is there for Wario to get a game on THIS scale. Best we can hope for is a new Wario Land.

>>716166679
No but the tutorial intro area basically serves as that, it gets changed a bit

>>716166657
This poster is being disingenuous. It's not a mindless game.

>>716165226
There's fuck tons of references to the DKC games in Bananza and even other Kongs. Candy is mentioned by Dixie and there's a prominent bill board with Lanky's face on it in New Donk

>>716166679
Not an entirely new one, but Ingot Isle gets enough new shit that it's effectively a new layer. I wanted a cozy DK Island stage so bad.

>>716166067
I feel like we might get a Sunshine sequel.
It would tie into The Super Mario World Movie if that adapts both Super Mario World and Super Mario Sunshine.
And Bowser's Fury was about collecting shines in an open-world.
And Donkey Kong Bananza has voice-acting and cinematic cutscenes like Super Mario Sunshine.
And there have been 2 different greentext leaks about a Super Mario Sunshine sequel.

>>716165306
Where is the rareware country/64 DK crew that people loved? they got killed, they even took them out of the rap. Diddy's only one in the game, and you're even free to use him.

>>716166769
It's true, there's no way Nintendo would pour that amount of resources into a Wario game. Still holding out for another 3D game though

Odds of this game getting DLC? I know Nintendo doesn't do DLC for its major releases that often but I'm already wanting more, it's so good.

>>716166549
No.it's not, there are platforming levels designed around the smashing, but you can even cheese some of them just by doing well timed jumps with chunks of terrain you grab, the freedom of movement this game offers is honestly incredible.

>>716162453
bananza makes odyssey irrelevant jsut like tropical freeze made nsmbu irrelevant

>>716165531
Smashing shit is fun.
The movement mechanics feel just as if not even better than odyssey, there’s a fair bit of nuance and if you get gud you can do crazy skips and stuff. I bet speedruns of this game will be fun to watch.
The level design is solid and is more than just a sandbox for the terrain destruction (usually).
I think this game beats the shit out of most of Mario’s recent output desu.

>>716167112
Odyssey got a few extra things post launch

>>716167082
Lanky and Tiny make cameos

>>716167112
I expect a few post launch updates but nothing major.

>>716166434
you will get warioware minigames but OPEN WORLD

>>716164628
Occassional dips from 60 fps dont bother me as much as 720p. Depends on i guess, but for bonanza ill stick to 1080p60 with the occasional fps dip when the environment gets really fucked up.

>>716167404
please god no
I’ll even take another 2D game just please give him a real platformer

>>716167017
Sunshine 2 would be hype!

>>716167468
Given the success of Pizza Tower and Antonblast, a new 2D game feels way more likely than it did even 2 years ago.

>>716167585
What would it be about?

>>716167017
>DK Bananza is all about terrain destruction
>Sunshine 2 is all about fluid physics

Wouldn't this be like naming a street in NYC after Osama bin Laden or something?

>>716167017
>2 different greentext leaks
qrd?

>the boss rush version of the giant slug monster
WHY THE FUCK IS THIS SO HARD AAAAUUUHHHGHHHHHHHH

>>716166769
And there is for donkey kong?

>>716167768
The first one was the fabricated greentext image that made the rounds on Twitter that had a teaser of F.L.U.D.D. and the release year of 2026.
The second one was a real greentext that referred to it as "Super Mario Bahama Mama".

>>716167082
>ESL

>>716165531
People who own the switch 2 don't have anything else to play.

>>716167956
Slightly related but as much as I like the feast layer the salt mechanic felt kind of jank.

>>716168053
Yes. He was in the movie and his games outsell Warioware on the Switch.

>>716168067
>super mario bahama mama
great, so they're both fake bullshit, thanks

The game is just so good it makes spotting Eric very easy in those threads

>>716167765
Crazy, right? What kind of city would glorify criminals?

>>716168167
Well maybe it's not called that.

>>716168053
Donkey Kong is a huge deal, yeah. I love Wario but he’s not getting his own dedicated theme parks any time soon.

>>716168112
It came out last month, already has two AAA Nintendo games on it, and before the end of the year we're getting Prime 4, Kirby Air Riders, Hyrule Warriors, Pokemon, and a number of DLCs for Switch 1 games. None of these will be available on any other systems.
>those are slop
>those don't count
>buy an ad
Cope, seethe, and blow your fucking brains out.

>>716165531
The gameplay loop and collecting is very entertaining
The challenge levels are all also unique and mostly fun. The enemy challenges are pretty basic at first but late game they also get extremely creative

>>716167765
Hitler Road (Circleville, Ohio).
Yes, it's real.

>>716167220
the mechanics in both are very different

>>716168053
DK doesn't get a ton of games but just in terms of recognizability he's probably only behind Mario and Pikachu. Everyone on earth who knows what video games are knows Donkey Kong.

>>716167112
We'll maybe get something like hide and seek, which would be insane for this game

>>716168340
>already has two AAA Nintendo games on it
lmao

>>716167765
My autism is more triggered by the fact that in Bananza it's still called New Donk City and has all the DK references on billboards everywhere despite the implication that DK has never been there before.

>>716168663
How are they not AAA? For bonus points, tell me without using buzzwords.

>>716168743
They are AAA and you're replying to a troll

>>716168671
The original DK has, before he became Cranky

>>716168850
Sure, but I'm bored at work and don't have anything better to do.

>>716153729
Why do all of the Pauline songs sound like that jizz song George Lucas added to the special edition of Return of the Jedi

>>716166561
Yes but prepare to be confused as to why people love K. Rool so much. Game is fantastic, but K. Rool is such a tiny part of it.

But why do all of the gameplay videos look braindead easy with shit graphics?

>>716168671
Cranky still hints at himself being the OG DK, so it's easy to look at it this way:
>OG Donkey Kong (Cranky kidnaps Lady, saved by Jumpman)
>Yoshi's Island (Mario & Luigi are born)
>Yoshi's New Island
>Yoshi's Island DS (DK Jr, Peach, Wario, and Modern Yoshi are born)
>Yoshi Story
>Donkey Kong Jr.
>Donkey Kong Jr. Math (Jr. has an unnamed brother, presumably Diddy's dad)
>Donkey Kong 3
>Donkey Kong Country (Jr. is now a teen and teams up with his nephew Diddy)
>DKC2
>DKC3
>DK64
>DK Bananza (Pauline is a teen)
>Wrecking Crew (Mario and Luigi are now adults)
>Mario Bros
>Super Mario Bros
...
>Super Mario Odyssey (Mario helps Pauline with the NDC festival)

Though that begs the question, was Cranky named after New Donk City or vice-versa?

>>716164279
One day the world will understand, anon. One day.

>>716169250
Because your mom fat

>>716151923 (OP)
I agree

>>716164279
Held back by its control scheme, and this is coming from someone who adores the game and beat most of it on 9.0. If Sakurai never makes any sequels to it that's fine (if disappointing) but just release a console remaster for fuck's sake.

>>716169318
but what happened to Jumpman?

>>716166561
Every game in the original trilogy is great, 2 especially. As >>716169245 says, K. Rool isn't a huge part of the first game, but his boss fight is still iconic and in the second game he feels like a way bigger presence.

>>716169678
Died.

>>716169790
F

>>716169678
Probably either this guy or Mario's grandpa, they both got overalls. I'd prefer it NOT be Mario's grandpa, because that'd imply Pauline being his cousin.

>>716152932
No

>>716170873
Most of this guy's comics have been really unfunny but I admit the Loud House tie in this one got me.

>>716170873
There are 3 of these, right? Or did I miss one?

>>716170873
IT'S EVEN FUNNIER THE THIRD TIME

>>716170873
another instant classic. keep up the good work, anon.

>>716170873
One Jokey Kong

>>716166660
Really? For me it felt like you could brute force at least half of the collectibles. Very frequently I just ended up digging something up before finding the actual way. Elephant breaks the game as well. All in all it's fine but I think I prefer Odyssey over it though it's from the 3d Marios my least liked one. What really carries Bananza for me are all the references to the old games, music and the final.

Why do Nintendo autists actually get angry about criticism for this DK game?

>>716171843
Because you might be Eric?

>>716171894
I'm jason actually

>>716170873
>one joke

so I have been replaying Odyssey and it does sound from Pauline's dialogue that she didn't really know Mario before he saved the city from the nightmare-fuel mecha wriggler.

Hell, now what we know about her grandma, the song of Odyssey might as well be something she dedicated to Jumpman rather than Mario.

Any chance of Void, Poppy, and Grumpy appearing in other games?

>>716170873
I think your talents would be better suited with less crude humor or for a different fanbase/game. Not to be a prude but donkey kong jacking off and cranky kong getting a bj comes off as an extremely unfunny dorkly bit.

>>716175124
You do realize that one of those comics has a visual gag about the PS5 having no games, right?

>>716170873
Another 8/10 comic keep up the good work

>>716166434
I don't know how they'd incorporate the singing aspect. Bananza already had to do the weird de-aged Pauline thing to justify it for DK.

It would be a genuine 10/10 platformer if only the graphics/art style weren't ass and the difficulty wasn't piss-easy.

>>716176817
I think it’s 10/10 anyway.

>Have to look at the exact same screenshot everytime you pick up a "Buh na nuh"

>Have to listen to the exact same "song" with gibberish lyrics every single time you transform

Jesus christ this game is cyberpsychosis

>>716165531
>There are ample opportunities for interesting and satisfying precision movement after SL600.
>The story is simple but charming, and the characters are endearing.
>The music is fantastic, and there are a lot of good remixes of classic DKC music in there as well.
>There are a myriad of different collectables that all feed into different counts and systems
>The game is a mix of simple gameplay (unga bunga) and sophisticated gameplay (chaining together grabs, jumps, kicks, throws, etc. to get around in a slick way)
It's a very good, quality video game.

>>716164279
Came in here to post this. Nearly impossible to put this game down from how good it was, and incredible how a Kid Icarus game with that much quality even exists.

>>716171703
The further you go into the game the less possible it is to overcome limitations with bananza powers

>>716170873
If you aren't going to apologize at least pump one of these out a day

>>716165531
-toddler your way through with smashing til nothings left
-use the game mechanics for speedrunning and getting to hard to reach areas
either way you play its fun

>>716180586
Five is plenty, I'll keep it at that.
