Are you excited for Donkey Kong Bananza?
- Thread starter CM30
- Start date
I'm not a fan of open-world games in general so I'll pass on that regardless of its quality. Surprised to see voice acting, I did expect Nintendo would start to use it again in this era but in this game. This gives me hope for a new Wario game.

They just say you'll have to play the game to find out:

A few weeks ago, Nintendo confirmed an unusual piece of lore: Pauline is 13-years-old in Donkey Kong Bananza. This is an odd thing for Nintendo to have done. So when we spoke to the game’s producer Kenta Motokura and director Kazuya Takahashi, we had to ask. Why did Nintendo specify her age? And...
