It was that simple.
NO GAIJIN WHY U RIKE MALIO???
>>738668107Who here liked it
>>738669450I loved it, but gamers betrayed DK because their funny plumber man wasn't in it
>>738668107If it had been the same game but with Mario as the lead it would have gotten a 95+ on metacritic
>>738669450Me.
Sucks how strong IP branding can be
>>738668107I'm sad it's really lost momentum. The branding unironically made all the difference, normalfags fucking suck.
>>738668107>instead of donkey kong fucking loli pauline, we get mario fucking loli paulineSure why not?
Nintendo is still charging full price for Odyssey, why would they need another Mario game competing with something that's still making money for them?
>>738668107Critics have always hated donkey Kong. Fucking NsmBU is rated higher than tropical Freeze
>>738671052Its crazy because they'll simultaneously hype up Super Mario Titans AI images. Fucking soulless cattle.
>>738673098Because Tropical Freeze actually provides a good challenge. Even Wonder is pretty fucking easy save for some of the extra levels, and you'd think being able to help and rescue players would allow them to make the game more challenging.
>>738668107I've been saying Banaza was this gen 3d Mario. Mario fags should accept it already wait for switch 3 for the next 3d Mario
>>738668107dumb, this is a DK game
>>738669450they fumbled the pacing so the mid game was dullits has AAA potential, but the pacing and largely forgettable level design in the first half of the game sunk it for many playersliie think of the Snake level and the dark sectionsn and how one note that idea was rather than developing it into a compelling sequencesad
>>738668107I still say it would have been better as a Wario Land/World game. Fits him better in every respect and would have avoided the reskin and pauline drama.
>>738677910Not really, no.
Donkey Kong Bananza started off as a Mario game called Super Mario Titans, which got quite far in development before it was finally settled that such a destructive role isn't fit for a character like Mario, so the game was reworked into a Donkey Kong game.
>>738669450I liked it because Pauline is in it as a little girl.
>>738679712This is true. Reddit told me.
>>738680116very popular game with amateur paedophiles
>>738680116>>738684220may you both burn in hell
>>738684334Upvoted
>>738669450I liked it a lot. I just wish the postgame was more expansive/interesting.
>>738684220Spoken like a true professional.
>>738684452emerald rush being a DLC instead of a free add on like balloon world was insulting
>>738679712>were-noise break timepass
>>738677153It has the same pacing as Odyssey.
>>738668107Resetera trannies seem to hate it because it's not mario
>>738669450I loved it! Kinda bummed normgroids that only play 3d Mario and Zelda didn't care, but the Switch 2 still has about 7 to 8 years on the market so I don't think Bananza will be forgotten. Probably by the time the S2 is over, I can see it double its current number of sales. Even then, I think Nintendo is satisfied enough since it is still getting new merch. Expecting a DK game to match up to Mario or Zelda sales were already a big ask.
>>738674219You will suffer.
>>738685109And so he copedAnd so he copedThe tendies cried their tearsBut Donkey Kong looks like a queer And no one bought I fearBut Donkey Kong looks like a queerAnd no one bought I fear
>>738685548>silly monkey is actually queerI'm so tired of you woketards
>>738668107It's literally a Wario game.
>>738685782Not really, no.
>>738684625yea, if it was free id get it, play with it for 5 mins and move on
>go forward>YOU FOUND A STARYippiee!!!>move to the left>YOU FOUND A STARYIPPPIEIIE!
>>738668107I thought Odyssey and Bananza were mediocre and if the next 3D mario is anything like those 2 I'd rather have nothing.
>>738668107Do Nintendofags really not play platformers that don't have Mario on the cover? It's by the same exact team too.
>>738686439ok>>738686529ok
>>738687083Thats whats so stupid about the hate it gets from Mario fans. Its literally the follow up to Odyssey, but because it isn't a Mario game they won't play it
