Nintendo Direct Leaker Hints at Mario vs. Donkey Kong Game in Upcoming Showcase
Nintendo Direct leaker Pyoro drops hints of a Mario vs. Donkey Kong game in the rumored September presentation, but fans express mixed reactions to the news.
The well-known Nintendo game leaker Pyoro has once more sparked interest and rumours about a future Nintendo Direct, which is rumoured to feature Donkey Kong in some way. Pyoro's leaks have a history of being fairly accurate, including clues of the Super Mario RPG remake and a new 2D Mario platformer before their actual announcements during the June 2023 Nintendo Direct.
After initially leaking information about a Donkey Kong game appearing in the upcoming Nintendo Direct, Pyoro provided their most recent hint through Twitter. Even though there hasn't been an official announcement for the following Nintendo Direct, many anticipate it to occur in mid-September, right before the upcoming Tokyo Game Show 2023. Historically, Nintendo holds a Direct before the showcase.
The most recent indication from Pyoro strongly implies that the game being shown will be a new entry in the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series. Donkey Kong has typically been the main enemy in this subseries, and the gameplay and story revolve around his interactions with the miniature Mario toys.
To further clarify, Pyoro replied to a Twitter user's query on the collectible mini toys' inclusion by reiterating their inclusion in the future game. This means that another puzzle platformer adventure starring the venerable Nintendo adversaries is on the horizon for fans.
While Pyoro's history of reliable leaks lends confidence to these suggestions, some fans' reactions to the news were divided. The Mario vs. Donkey Kong subseries has received mixed reviews over the years, with Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars from 2015 being the most recent installment.
As always, until a formal announcement is made regarding either the next Nintendo Direct or the prospective new Donkey Kong game, it is imperative to view this information with care. Nintendo fans will eagerly anticipate additional information to learn whether this rumour comes to pass.
