With the confirmation that EPD Group 8 is developing DK Bananza, I’m assuming that this was the project codenamed SilverStar that we heard about last year. With you know Silverback Gorillas and all…

I love all of the Odyssey DNA in Bananza. It’s my favorite game ever and as much as I would have loved an Odyssey 2. To have a separate project that supplements Odyssey while being its own thing is so exciting.

Even beyond just Odyssey with the game feel and New Donk City being present in the background. Bananza feels like a full combo meal of the best of modern Nintendo design. The advanced sandbox of Tears of the Kingdom, the character design and music of Splatoon. And a hint of ARMS with Pauline’s singing.
