Eagle-eyed Nintendo fans have spotted some names in the credits of both Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza that give us an idea of a potential future crossover.

Donkey Kong Bananza producer Kenta Motokura recently explained, in the newest Ask the Developer blog, that the team at Nintendo "were also conscious of how Donkey Kong would look from the back while he's moving" since players tend to stare at a character's backside a lot in third-person games.

Signs point to an animated film adaptation, which would fit perfectly with Nintendo’s current strategy.

A brand-new Donkey Kong movie might be on the way, and it looks like Universal and Nintendo are behind it. Even though it hasn’t been officially announced, a copyright filing has fans talking, and it’s clear that something is happening.
