Nintendo has confirmed what we all already figured; Donkey Kong Bananza is being developed by the team behind Super Mario Odyssey.
Since Donkey Kong Bananza was confirmed during the Switch 2 Nintendo Direct, the question on everyone’s mind has been, “who is developing this.” Nintendo, as of late, has been weird about not saying who is behind some of its games, notably with Super Mario RPG and Mario & Luigi Brothership, and Bananza was no different. Mind you, from the vibes alone, as well as some dead giveaways like the UI design and weird co-op mode, everyone – including Nintendo’s former marketing managers – was convinced it was the Odyssey team.
Alongside our Donkey Kong Bananza preview, Nintendo has confirmed that “the development team of Donkey Kong Bananza is the same as for Super Mario Odyssey.” That development team is Nintendo EPD Tokyo, which has been responsible for the 3D Mario games since Super Mario Galaxy in 2007 (with their first release being Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat, so this is a full circle moment).
