Where to Buy:
For "Donkey Kong Bananza," there are no special editions available. Your decision boils down to choosing between a physical copy or a digital download.
Yes, the MSRP Is $69.99
Nintendo has introduced a new $79.99 price point for select Switch 2 titles, such as "Mario Kart World," and even for some enhanced versions of original Switch games like "Super Mario Party Jamboree." However, "Donkey Kong Bananza" sticks to the $69.99 mark. Although this is $10 more than what was standard for most original Switch games, it's a relief that it's not the higher $79.99.
What Is Donkey Kong Bananza?
"Donkey Kong Bananza" marks the first new 3D Donkey Kong game since the iconic 1999 N64 title, "Donkey Kong 64." A standout feature in this game is Donkey Kong's new digging ability, allowing him to pound and smash his way through the ground or cliff sides. The trailer teases a wealth of underground secrets and treasures awaiting discovery.
Although much of the gameplay seems to take place beneath the surface, the game promises a variety of settings above ground as well, including forests, canyons, lagoons, and frozen tundras. Staying true to the series' roots, players can also enjoy classic side-scrolling and mine cart rail-riding sections. It promises to be a thrilling experience.
