Nintendo has unveiled an exciting new addition to their gaming lineup with the announcement of Donkey Kong Bananza, a 3D platforming action game exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2. Set to launch on July 17, 2025, this thrilling adventure will be available for $69.99. During the Nintendo Direct, fans were treated to a debut gameplay trailer that showcased the game's innovative mechanics.
According to the official description, Donkey Kong Bananza promises an action-packed experience where players can "crash, bash, and climb through nearly everything in DK’s path." The game introduces groundbreaking exploration features, allowing players to tear off chunks of terrain to swing around and throw. The more players demolish with powerful punches, the more areas they can discover, making for a dynamic and engaging adventure filled with mayhem, surprises, and, of course, bananas.
The Nintendo Switch 2, the platform for this new game, is set to launch on June 5, 2025, and will be priced at $449.99. The console package includes the Nintendo Switch 2 console, Joy-Con 2 controllers (L+R), Joy-Con 2 Grip, Joy-Con 2 Straps, Nintendo Switch 2 Dock, an Ultra High-Speed HDMI Cable, Nintendo Switch 2 AC Adapter, and a USB-C Charging Cable.
For those looking for a bundle, the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle will be available for $499.99 in the United States. This bundle includes the system and a download code for Mario Kart World, which will be available from the launch day of the Nintendo Switch 2. Mario Kart World on its own will cost $79.99, marking a $10 increase over Nintendo's most expensive Switch game to date.
Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa expressed enthusiasm about the new console, stating, "Nintendo Switch 2 is the next step in at-home gaming that can be taken on the go based on eight years of play and discovery that began with Nintendo Switch. With its new features that expand the possibilities of gaming experiences, I truly believe that Nintendo Switch 2 is a leap forward in our journey of putting smiles on the faces of everyone that Nintendo touches."
The Nintendo Direct also highlighted other announcements related to the Switch 2, providing fans with a comprehensive look at what to expect from the new console and its upcoming titles.
