Donkey Kong Bananza director Kazuya Takahashi has commented on the game’s performance, specifically frame rate drops that some players have noticed. Despite the dips, overall impressions of the Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive have been positive. The game prioritizes fun and playability over technical perfection.
Takahashi attributes the issue to intentional gameplay effects, such as hit-stop and slow motion, which emphasize impacts. He also notes that voxel technology can cause performance drops during major environmental changes. However, he emphasizes that these moments are rare and overall the game is smooth.
The director’s comments come ahead of the game’s launch next Thursday, where a better understanding of performance will be clearer.
