Last month's Nintendo Switch 2 face-to-face meeting kicked off with Mario Kart: World.This highly anticipated racing game has been the focus of Nintendo's discussion lately.It will be released on June 5 with the new console, and its $80 price tag has also attracted much attention due to its high price.Today, new rumors emerged about the game "Donkey Kong: All-Opening" that was last displayed at the face-to-face meeting.The game looks comparable to some of Nintendo's best 3D Mario games, and features chaotic environmental destruction elements.Nowadays, there are rumors that the game may have multiplayer features.

This rumor stems from the category on Nintendo's website.Donkey Kong: Canary is fully open and seems to be included in the "Local Multiplayer" category along with Mario Kart: World and Super Mario Party Carnival: Nintendo Switch 2 + Carnival TV.Of course, this is probably just a simple mistake.The trailer and gameplay currently displayed do not imply that there will be any multiplayer elements.But it's still interesting to make some guesses.

There are many different interpretations of this situation.Some interpretations are more reasonable than others.A reasonable speculation is to compare Donkey Kong: Canary 100% off with Super Mario: Odyssey.In Super Mario: Odyssey, which was launched early in the initial Switch life cycle, one player can control Mario, while the other player can control the hat Kepi.In "Donkey Kong: All-Opening", Donkey Kong also has a friend who has not yet shown his actual role.The second player may play a limited role in a similar way, but this can still be counted as a local multiplayer, which explains why it is so classified.

Another possibility is similar to the Balloon World in Super Mario: Odyssey, where players can hide balloons somewhere in the game world and challenge other players to see who can find the balloon.As a 3D platform game, Donkey Kong: All-Opening may also have a similar online challenge mode.

However, there is a last thought, which is less than one percent true possibility, and only players who have played Donkey Kong 64 can understand it.Does anyone remember the multiplayer mode of that game? If I remember correctly, it is essentially a first-person shooting mode.Players can play as one of the Donkey Kong team members, wandering around the map, shooting with coconut guns or other food-based weapons.This mode can accommodate up to four players on one screen, similar to Mario Kart.This sounds very unlikely, especially because the style of Donkey Kong: All-Opening is completely different from Donkey Kong 64, but when I heard this rumor, I still couldn't help but think of Donkey Kong 64.

Nintendo usually does not confirm or deny such rumors.After everyone kept asking, Nintendo compromised and announced the Switch 2 in January, which was already surprising.For the moment, we can only focus on this part of Nintendo's website to see if there will be any changes.At least at the time of writing, the category remains.
