Nintendo won't confirm Donkey Kong's age in new game as it's "good fodder for player theories"


Nintendo is keeping Donkey Kong's age in upcoming Switch 2 platformer Bananza under wraps for now, because this bit of mystery is "good fodder" for theories.

While Nintendo previously confirmed DK's sidekick Pauline is 13 in Donkey Kong Bananza, the team won't commit to sharing anything about the main monkey's age. Watch on YouTube Takahashi added that the Donkey Kong Bananza team wanted Pauline's character to act "in some cases as a bit of a narrator" on the game's release. "Even if I spent much of it doing a lot of the same wrecking ball actions repeatedly," Alex wrote in Eurogamer's Donkey Kong Bananza preview, "time flying is always a sure-fire sign of something that's good - so this formula might just be a winner."
