Thank god Nintendo continues to avoid the file size bloat so many modern games suffer from

For as long as they don't have much voice overs or cutscenes, their games should remain < 32GB. Most AAA games have hours upon hours of cutscenes and dialogue.

What's everybody make of the ostrich lady DK was interacting with in the trailer? I thought she was Expresso from the original Donkey Kong Country for a moment.

I'm wondering if this is full reboot of the DK universe.

Cranky Kong has been confirmed to be in the game.

I wonder if Candy, Diddy and Funky will be in.

Only 10 GB yet the game looks amazing. ^^

This may be the most open ended DK game yet. ^^

Being even smaller than some of Nintendo's bigger first party games on OG Switch is kinda funny. 

Their compression techniques are masterful really.

Could get quite funny too if Monolith Soft comes out with a technical marvel open world game on Switch 2 and it would be less than 25GB or something. 

So people buying digital and first party titles only are likely to win big with the internal 256GB storage.

So which team or studio is making Donkey Kong Bananza? I thought it was some of the Super Mario Odyssey team.



Also, Nintendo apparently said this on an official site.

Something worse may be up with Voidco. Hopefully that something is a certain mean spirited crocodile king.



I would not be at all surprised if this is the 3D Mario team, the influence of Odyssey is palpable in everything from the graphics to the UI to the level design.

Xenoblade is full of that stuff and yet the file sizes remain small. It's just good optimization.
