Donkey Kong Bananza Swings Into Switch 2 With Bold New Features and Co-Op Twist
Nintendo is swinging for the fences with Donkey Kong Bananza, the first major 3D Donkey Kong title since DK 64. Launching July 17, 2025, on the new Nintendo Switch 2, the game brings destructible terrain, animal transformations powered by 'bananergy,' and an all-new co-op dynamic with young Pauline. Players can expect a sprawling underground adventure against the villainous VoidCo, with vibrant visuals and intuitive controls that utilize Switch 2’s expanded capabilities. From Pauline's music-based attacks to DK Artist Mode and hidden bonus stages, the game promises both nostalgia and innovation. Fans are buzzing online, with early previews comparing its polish to Astro Bot and calling it a potential system-seller for Switch 2.
