One of the games that’s supposedly in development for the Switch successor console is anew 2DDonkey Konggame- at least, according to Nintendo leaker Zippo. Zippo doesn’t have a perfect track record when it comes to leaks, so fans should take their claims with a massive grain of salt. But since Nintendo has been releasing newDonkey Konggames for decades, it’s a safe bet that the next Nintendo console will featureDKin some capacity. If Zippo’s information is accurate, the newDonkey Konggame is being developed by Nintendo EPD, the studio behindSuper Mario Odyssey.
This isn’t the first time Zippo has discussed a newDonkey Konggame. Because of this, some fans believed that the newDonkey Konggame was actually theMario vs. Donkey Kongremakethat was recently revealed for the Switch, but Zippo claims that is not the case. Apparently, they are two completely separate products. But as always, fans should keep their expectations in check and wait for official word from Nintendo before getting too excited.
One of Zippo’s olderDonkey Kongclaims was actually validated by a Nintendo announcement a couple of years back. The claim was made that Nintendo was preparing a big push for theDonkey Kongfranchise, which would include aDonkey Kong-themed expansion for Super Nintendo World. That expansion was eventually announced, lending some credibility to the leaks.
AnewDonkey Konggameis an inevitability, though time will tell what shape it takes whenever it’s actually revealed to the public. It will be interesting to see if Zippo’s claims about the newDonkey Konggame are accurate. Fans will just have to be patient and wait for an announcement.
