Home > Donkey Kong Bananza is Coming to Switch 2 on July 17
The Nintendo Switch 2 direct was capped off with a brand new and unexpected game reveal. Donkey Kong Bananza is a 3D Donkey Kong game coming exclusively to Switch 2. It features the new (retro?) Donkey Kong design first seen in Mario Kart World. The gameplay seems to focus around Donkey Kong being able to break the terrain around him and use it for combat and exploration.
It's speculated that this is the game that the 3D Mario team (Odyssey, Galaxy) has been working on - so it should be a high quality and expansive game. We won't have to wait long after the Switch 2 launch either, it will be released on July 17, 2025. Check out the reveal trailer below and stay tuned for more information as we get it.
