Nintendo has given fans a rare peek behind its development curtain, and a look at how upcoming Switch 2 platformer Donkey Kong Bananza would have looked on Switch 1.

A Donkey Kong Bananza Switch 1 port could have emerged, but the Nintendo Switch 2 became the only way forward for the platform game.

The limitations of the original Switch hindered DK Bananza enough that the developers decided to wait for Switch 2.

Asked how Bananza sits alongside other Donkey Kong games, Motokura continued by saying that the 3D Mario team considered this project to epitomise a new 3D Donkey Kong "branch", separate to the DK's 2D platformers — leaving the door open to both kinds of games still existing in future.

Donkey Kong Bananza could be the first in a series of regular 3D games, but Nintendo isn't forgetting about the 2D Country era, either.

Best Buy has officially announced that a Nintendo Switch 2 restock is coming to select in-store locations on Thursday.
