With all the hubbubs about the new look of Donkey Kong Donkey Kong Bananzaone artist took it to rethink what the Swing King would look like in the upcoming Switch 2 games if Nintendo had stuck to previous designs.
“I don’t like how they portray dks Bananzaso I edited some of his strangest faces and kept them even more faithful to the rare designs,” Felipe Valdes said in his first X post on April 20th before asking for their feedback.
The editing appears to revolve around shrinking Donkey Kong’s new, huge mouth and making his soft brows more strict.
Donkey Kong Inn Bananza is an expressive goofball, but his attempt to recreate Valdez’s Donkey Kong look from a rare game Donkey Kong Country Give him a stricter, old school edge. I’m an old man who is afraid of change, so obviously I prefer the latter, even though Nintendo is grateful for his attempts to add more monkey-like stupidity to him. Bananza animation.
Of course, it is worth noting that these are still images. Just as it looks good, Donkey Kong’s old, unusual designs may not have worked in the art style that Nintendo wanted to use Bananza. And while I love Valde’s work and I appreciate the time they put in this passion project, it’s important not to “Nintendo, hire this guy” when the work of creating video games is much more involved and complicated process. Some of us may prefer the old look of Donkey Kong, but we should not dismiss the efforts. BananzaDevelopment team along the way. The game still looks very good.
