[NEW VIDEO] Was Donkey Kong Bananza Started At... Activision? (Patreon)

In this video, I delve into a theory I keep seeing crop up online that Donkey Kong Bananza started life at Activision's Vicarious Visions (now Blizzard Albany) as a project I previously covered called 'Freedom'. I try to pick it apart in detail and give you my take on if it could be true.

I will also note that this is my first ever video in 4K. I used this as an opportunity to try out some Switch games enhanced on Switch 2 and capture them for the video, so enjoy the higher resolution. I want to try to do that more in the future. I'll be making more Switch 2 videos in the future.

I would suggest watching my original video on project 'Freedom' before this if you haven't yet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJlu9g8UEAI&list=PLO9mxFELVbbHM1dR6VumpP60zBENfQr0b
