Nintendo has unveiled the much-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2, and alongside it, the exciting release of Mario Kart 9. Fans have been quick to spot a significant redesign in one of the beloved characters, seemingly drawing inspiration from The Super Mario Bros. Movie. The trailer showcased over a dozen characters, and while most appeared as expected, Donkey Kong's new look caught everyone's attention.
For years, even decades, Donkey Kong has maintained the same iconic design across various games like Mario Kart 8, Mario Tennis, and Donkey Kong Country Returns. However, the blockbuster success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie introduced a fresh take on his appearance, and it seems Nintendo is eager to integrate this updated design into their latest games.
Only a fleeting glimpse of Mario Kart 9 was shared, with Donkey Kong making brief appearances in a few scenes. While not fully clear, his new design is already strikingly different. Fans will have to wait until the Nintendo Switch 2 Nintendo Direct in April for a more detailed comparison.
The console reveal trailer offered just a few tantalizing hints about the Nintendo Switch 2, focusing primarily on its aesthetics. It confirmed that the new hardware is mostly backwards compatible, introduced a mysterious new button on the Joy-Cons, and validated a theory about using the controller as a mouse.
Although announced with a 2025 release window, the Nintendo Switch 2 might not hit the market until June at the earliest. This delay is due to numerous hands-on events scheduled worldwide, with registration opening soon.
