Sure thing! Here we go:

Alright, let’s dive into this whole Nintendo Switch 2 shindig, ’cause wow, things are… interesting? So, this new Donkey Kong game, Bananza something or other, has some techie buzz going. Some big shot at Nintendo, Kazuya Takahashi (I think that’s how you spell it), spilled the beans to a Spanish paper that performance might be a bit wonky. They threw a ton of those 3D voxel thingamajigs into the game, so it might lag. A lot.
Okay, picture this: you’re smashing stuff, and then suddenly it’s like, slo-mo? Takahashi says they meant to do that—something about making it more fun? Sounds like an excuse but hey, who am I to judge? Anyway, it’s all explosions and chaos with DK banging through walls. Probably why they pushed it to the new console: Switch 2. I mean, ’cause the old Switch couldn’t handle DK going all Hulk on everything, right?
So yeah, this game used to be for the plain old Switch, but now it’s a Switch 2 exclusive. Fancy! You know what that means? More smashing! You can dig tunnels, rip stuff apart for tools or whatever. Sweet, right? Except, those voxels are a bit too hungry for the Switch 2’s guts. Yep, they’re demanding, as in high-maintenance demanding. But Takahashi insists—performance dips to emphasize the fun. Sure thing, buddy.
Oh, and some reporter asked about these, uh, frame drops? Sounds techy, but it’s just the game chugging a bit. Takahashi was like, “We meant to do that!” Hit stop effects and big chunks of scenery going boom. So there’s that. But he promises the ride’s smooth, sans any epic destruction moments.
Hopeful? I guess so. Nintendo’s saying, “Meh, we got it,” so maybe they’ll tweak some knobs later—DLSS something. I totally missed the memo on what DLSS is, but it could be magic. Cross fingers.
Anyway, nostalgia alert! Apparently, the voxel magic dates back to this game called Comanche: Maximum Overkill. Sounds intense, right? They wrote it in assembly language, like a whole other level of geekery.
So, when’s this madness hitting the shelves? Real soon! This Thursday, which is… July 17? Mark your calendars, or don’t. Kinda depends if you’re into watching DK tear things apart, right?
And yeah, if you’re into staying in the loop, follow some tech nerds on Google News. They’ve got all the gossip, reviews, analysis—whatever floats your boat.
Catch you later with another dose of gaming chaos!
