Donkey Kong Bananza is coming out this Thursday, and we’ve been getting a lot of interesting information from Nintendo, via the game’s dev team, about how everything came together.

Finally, and arguably, most importantly, we revealed last week that Donkey Kong Bananza wasn’t meant to be on the Switch 2, but the OG Switch. They switched development in 2021 and have been working on the game ever since. In the interviews, they highlighted how the game would’ve looked on the Switch versus the Switch 2, and the results are a bit shocking:
