Nintendo is Reinventing Themselves Again with Donkey Kong Bananza

This week on the Boss Rush Podcast:

⁠Corey Dirrig⁠⁠, ⁠LeRon Dawkins⁠⁠, ⁠Stephanie Klimov⁠⁠ and Patrick Klein dive into how Nintendo has continued to reinvent its iconic characters over the past decade.

From Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom to the Link’s Awakening remake, the Zelda series has evolved dramatically—embracing open-world exploration, puzzle-solving, crafting, and survival in ways that reshaped how we experience the franchise.

Nintendo is taking a similar approach with Donkey Kong Bananza, reimagining the character in a dynamic sandbox that showcases not only Donkey Kong’s raw power and destructive abilities but also the capabilities of the Nintendo Switch 2.

All this and more, this week on The Boss Rush Podcast.
