Donkey Kong: Bananza - craze for Switch 2 goes on

Release date: July 17, 2025

"Exclusive" for Switch 2

Nintendo has prepared another "exclusive" for its new console. Donkey Kong: Bananza is a full-fledged installment of the legendary platformer series, created with the Switch 2 in mind. This is the first 3D game featuring this character since Donkey Konga 64. It takes us to the underground world of Ingot Island, full of secrets, technology, and banana treasures.

Time to reclaim the bananas!

Donkey Kong and his new sidekick, Pauline, are on a mission to retrieve the stolen golden bananas from the evil corporation VoidCo. The story takes on a slightly more serious tone while still maintaining the typical humor, vivacity, and charm of the series. The gameplay is based on intense interaction with the environment - DK can destroy elements of the surroundings and use parts of the terrain for movement, combat, or solving puzzles.
