If anybody knows how to get its audience excited about a game, it's Nintendo, and its recent 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Donkey Kong Bananza Direct is a shining example of that. The 15-minute showcase finally confirmed that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pauline would be DK's companion, that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:we'd be getting a new Amiibo, and that two players would be able to play the game 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:after purchasing just a single copy. One of the biggest reveals, though, was the fact that DK would have the ability to transform into other creatur꧒es, giving him powerful abilities.

Donkey Kong Bananza is changing some big thin𒊎gs about the Mario universe, a✱nd I'm all for it.

As time has gone on, players have been scanning the trailer to try to find further clues about the game. They know trying to understand🅰 the timeline is a bit of a lost cause, but they think they've already 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:f🌊igured out who Bananza's true villain is💜, and now, they have a theory about juꦺst how many other animals' shoes Donkey Kong will be able to step into.

During the , Nintendo showed off three transformations for DK. The first was Kong Bananza, a stronger, more destructive version of the beloved primate. The second transformation seen was Zebra Bananza, in which DK becomes a rapid zebra, able to traverse the terrain quickly. Finally, it showed off Ostrich Bananza, an ostrich version of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Donkey Kong, which allows him to fly around the worlꦇd, dropping bombs on those below. While you might assume these are the only three, eagle-eyed viewers have other ideas.

In a new screenshot shared by Nintendo (and prominent Twitter user ), we got a look at the game's upcoming skill tree. This tree seemingly shows that Donkey Kong can invest skill points into his Kong, Zebra, and Ostrich Bananza transformations, but there are two spots that have been 🐬suspiciously left blank. Fans think that these two spots are left for future, unann🍃ounced transformations.

It's already been confirmed that Donkey Kong can swim, so there have been that he will be able to transform into a swordfish or another aquatic creature, and others have suggested perhaps there will be a mole transformation✱ or something similar that will enhance DK's digging abilities.

Whatever it is, my interest is piqued, and July 17 🎐can't come soon en🅷ough.
