Nintendo’s thing? Not really the tough stuff, y’know? They’re kind of the go-to for family-friendly, super chill gaming experiences. Most of their hits feel like a breeze, enemies kinda fold after a couple of taps. Everything’s usually smooth sailing. But then there’s this game: Donkey Kong Bananza. It’s like the universe shifted a bit.
So, it’s not exactly a hardcore challenge, okay? Enemies are squishy, game overs mean basically nothing, and boss fights could practically play themselves. Yet, Bananza throws a curveball. Right off the bat, it’s, like, way more intense than you’d expect from Nintendo. And while it might drop a few players off the wagon, it kinda hints at Nintendo’s future or something. Or maybe not. Who knows?
Get this—Bananza’s like, “Hey new player, hold onto your hat!” It kicks off with this funky control setup. The buttons on the right Joy-Con do all these weird directional attacks. Totally non-intuitive, trust me. And for some reason, jumping’s on ‘A’ instead of ‘B’. My brain? Fried.
But wait! There’s more. They pile on these systems—destruction bits, some sort of currency circus, collectibles hidden like Easter eggs. Terrain you use as a weapon! There’s even a skill tree. Not to mention the levels—they just plop you in and say, “Go explore!” I’ve never been so confused, yet intrigued. Complex? Yes. But with patience, you realize it’s like the secret sauce.
Fast forward a couple of hours… and, lightbulb moment! The game’s loop? Starts to click. Controls? Less brain-whacky. Complexity? Yep, it’s genius. So much freedom to mess around and strategize. It’s an experimental playground for players. With new skills unlocking like every other cutscene, it sucks you in and holds onto you for its 20-hour ride—and beyond.
This game tells Nintendo, loud and clear, that complexity might just be their next power-up. Maybe not, though. I dunno. But honestly, I wouldn’t mind more of this nuanced chaos. Let’s see what happens.
