What We Know So Far
There’s already been a lot of buzz surrounding the game, including a leak from Nintendo Korea showing what appears to be a major returning character. The game will feature full voice acting in Spanish and other languages, and fans are speculating about a new multiplayer mode or a playable Diddy Kong.
This stream is expected to clarify the development team behind the project, highlight composers, and possibly unveil a public demo or online test session ahead of release. Nintendo Spain, America, and Japan will all stream the Direct on their respective YouTube channels.
