When Donkey Kong Bananza was first revealed it was clear that it was from the team behind the excellent Super Mario Odyssey, though they both ended up becoming very different games. Games Radar managed to catch up with producer Kenta Motokura who said that there's probably some concepts and ideas that the team thought up or implemented that they will use on the next big title.
"Probably, we'll see the same sort of phenomenon as we did when going from Super Mario Odyssey to Donkey Kong Bananza, where there were some ideas and development that acted as hints for the future development of Donkey Kong Bananza. I do expect that will be the case where some ideas from Donkey Kong Bananza provide future hints for our next project, as well."

Iconic video game designer, Tetsuya Nomura, has revealed in a recent interview that even after all these years he is still asked by developers to create them a character similar to the iconic Sephiroth from the classic, Final Fantasy VII. He says that the request still surprises him to some degree as he designed the character roughly 30 years ago. Even so, Nomura says that he's relieved he made a character that's so approachable to both old and new fans.
When asked about why he opted to revisit a character he designed 30 years ago, Nomura cited the currently ongoing Final Fantasy Remake project, but also touched on Sephiroth's enduring popularity as a character. He revealed that when working on games and other projects, he constantly gets asked "Hey, can you make me a character like Sephiroth?'"
