Does Donkey Kong Bananza give you motion sickness?

Didn't even know this was an issue people are having. The only lasting thing I've gotten from the game is the desire to eat bananas.

No, but when I close my eyes I see bananas

Turning off camera shake helped me a ton, and now it doesn’t bother me at all!

It can be disorienting sometimes, especially when you're underground and the camera goes "first person," but it's never enough to make me feel sick.

No but fun fact : when I started playing DK, I intuitively wanted to use ascend to exit a tunnel. Then, when I went back to TOTK, I was frustrated I couldn’t break through every wall.

Yes, particularly on dock mode. Then I turned off camera shake and that helped a lot.

I actually sometimes do, which normally doesn't happen to me a lot with games. But for some reason only during TV mode, handheld is perfectly fine. Only other game I experiences that with being Yooka-Laylee Impossible Lair.

Watch Sakurai's video about motion sickness, it helped me overcome this problem for this specific game.

I haven't gotten Bananza yet. But I get motion sickness. Thanks for all the tips. I love DK and want to enjoy the game.

All I hear now is BA-NA-NA. I can't get it out of my head.

The only time I ever felt motion sickness from playing a video game before was playing Portal on the Xbox which made sense with how it is designed (it was one time playing through the whole game). This newest Donkey Kong game I have felt it really mildly. I turned off camera shake, but I don't know yet if that fully fixed the issue I was having or not.

For me it did, but I turned off the camera shake in the settings and that really helped

Yes and I typically don't get motion sickness aside from fps games.

Yes, and a headache. After 4 hours of playtime I have stopped and not looking forward to trying again.

I turned off camera shake. So I haven’t had any issues. I also like it because I can appreciate the details more.
