					<description><![CDATA[Though it's "based in Tokyo," Nintendo wouldn't confirm whether the entire team is returning for the upcoming 3D platformer.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>New hands-on previews for Nintendo&#8217;s <em>Donkey Kong Bananza</em> have dropped ahead of its launch later this month. After <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/donkey-kong-bananza-developer-wont-be-revealed-just-yet-nintendo-says">much speculation</a>, the company confirmed what seemed obvious &#8211; that the 3D platformer is developed by the same team behind the acclaimed <em>Super Mario Odyssey</em>.</p>



<p>&#8220;The development team of <em>Donkey Kong Bananza </em>is the same as for <em>Super Mario Odyssey</em>,&#8221; it told <a href="https://www.eurogamer.net/nintendo-confirms-donkey-kong-bananza-is-being-made-by-the-mario-odyssey-team" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Eurogamer</a>. It also revealed to <a href="https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/nintendo-says-donkey-kong-bananzas-developer-is-the-same-team-as-super-mario-odyssey/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">VGC</a> that the studio is &#8220;based in Tokyo,&#8221; meaning Nintendo EPD Tokyo is potentially handling development. However, it didn&#8217;t confirm whether the entire team (including director Kenta Motokura) or only a part have reunited for the title.</p>



<p><em>Donkey Kong Bananza</em> launches on July 17th for Nintendo Switch 2, so we&#8217;ll find out soon enough through the credits. The recent Direct revealed several new details, including Pauline as a companion for Donkey Kong and <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/donkey-kong-bananza-confirms-pauline-new-transformations-revealed">Bananza Powers</a> that allow for flying, quick movement or even more destructive power.</p>



<p>Similar to <em>Odyssey</em>, players can <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/donkey-kong-bananza-includes-challenge-course-ruins-collectible-outfits-and-more">collect outfits with unique benefits</a> for both Pauline and Donkey Kong. Head <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/donkey-kong-bananza-includes-co-op-and-game-share-dk-artist-mode-revealed">here</a> for more, though its placement in the overall timeline (due to the former&#8217;s younger age) is unknown.</p>
