Nintendo confirmed that the Super Mario Odyssey team is developing Donkey Kong Bananza for the Switch 2. While the company initially remained tight-lipped about the development team, it has now revealed the Tokyo-based team's involvement. However, Nintendo has not disclosed the specific team members leading the project, sparking speculation about who is developing the next 3D Mario game. Theories suggest either a split team effort, a different Nintendo team handling the next 3D Mario, or a potential delay for the next 3D Mario title. Donkey Kong Bananza is slated for release on July 17th.
