Donkey Kong Bananza Set for Nintendo Switch 2

Nintendo has officially unveiled an exciting new entry in the iconic Donkey Kong franchise with the announcement of *Donkey Kong Bananza*, a brand-new 3D platforming action game exclusive to the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. Set to launch alongside the console on July 17, 2025, this high-energy adventure promises fans an all-new way to experience DK’s signature strength and agility at their fullest.
