Nintendo showed us a lot more of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Donkey Kong Bananza on Wednesday, and if you weren't already sold on the Switch 2's second big first-party title, you almost certainly are now. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pauline got her big reveal, and a second player can control herಌ, even if they don't have their own copy of Bananza.

Nintendo has really worked magic with the Switch 2. I'm still floored by how well GameChat works, and some of its GameShare capabilities are uncharacteristically generous. For example, when you use GameShare while playing Bananza, a second player will be able to be Pauline on a different console. That will still work even if they don't have their own copy of the new Donkey Kong game, and even if they d🥃🐲on't own a Switch 2.

Even If They Don't Own The Game

That's right, as was very briefly teased during the Bananza Direct, the Switch 2's next big game is kind of compatible w✨ith the original Switch. As long as someone is running the game on a Switch 2, a second player will be able to hop in and join the ෴fun as Pauline via an original Switch thanks to GameShare. No, I don't know how that's possible either.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Sꦡplit Fiction on Switch 2 does the same t♏hing. If you have been playing the game with someone on the sam♏e console but you have an original Switch, you can play together on different consoles/screens, and like Bananza, you only need one copy of the game.

The only catch wh⛄en it comes to GameSharing Bananza with an OG Switch owner is playing online, and the catch is that it's not possible. If you want to play with someone else who isn't in the immediate vicinity, then that second player will need to have a🃏 Switch 2. On the bright side, that second player still won't need a copy of Bananza.

Confirmation that a younger Pauline will be in Bananza wasn't the only big character reveal during Wednesday's Direct. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong were also shဣown for the first time, and while a welcome surprise, it has thrown the Marioꦉ/Donkey Kong timeline into disarray.

Pauline being younger - Nintendo has confirmed she is 13 in Bananza - means the events of the next game presumably take place before the events of the original Donkey Kong, in which DK is holding Pauline captive and Mario is trying to save her. As for Diddy and Dixie, fans are confused as to how they are seemingly the same age in Bananza as they are in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Super Mario Odyssey, even 🍃though, by that point, Pauline is a🔯ll grown up.
