Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 50688, member: 636"] Nintendo shocked fans when developers revealed they switched systems during game development. Producer Kento Motokura and Director Kazuya Takahashi started making Donkey Kong Bananza for the original Nintendo Switch. The team quickly realized their destruction mechanics would work much better on the newer Nintendo Switch 2. They completely moved development to the next generation console after getting inside information about the new system. The decision paid off as the Switch 2 handles massive environmental changes and rich materials perfectly. The development team got excited about special features that only the Nintendo Switch 2 offers. Mouse controls let players team up for cooperative gameplay while the system handles complex destruction sequences. Takashi explained that the continuity of destruction becomes a major part of the gaming experience. Players can create large scale changes to environments that stay consistent throughout gameplay. The Switch 2 specs allow developers to build much more detailed and responsive game worlds. Yoshiaki Koizumi sparked the whole project by suggesting a 3D Donkey Kong adventure. The Super Mario Odyssey producer and Donkey Kong Jungle Beat director wanted to explore what makes the character special. The team learned directly from legendary designer Shigeru Miyamoto about the character's unique traits. They discovered that destruction mechanics fit perfectly with Donkey Kong's personality and abilities. Donkey Kong Bananza launches worldwide on July 17 for Nintendo Switch 2. [/QUOTE]
