Donkey Kong Bananza
Launching July 17
Donkey Kong Bananza
Standard Edition available at:
• Target ($69.99)
• Walmart ($69.00)
• GameStop ($69.99)
• Best Buy ($69.99)
The game offers straightforward purchasing options – players can choose between physical or digital formats without special editions or collector's bundles.
Priced at $69.99 MSRP
Unlike Nintendo's new $79.99 pricing tier seen in titles like Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza maintains the $69.99 price point. While this represents a $10 increase from previous Switch game standards, it remains below Nintendo's premium pricing threshold.
About Donkey Kong Bananza
The game represents Donkey Kong's first major 3D platformer since 1999's Donkey Kong 64. Its core mechanic features groundbreaking digging abilities – the mighty ape can smash through terrain vertically and horizontally, uncovering hidden treasures and secret pathways beneath each level's surface.
While underground exploration takes center stage, the adventure spans diverse biomes including tropical forests, icy tundras, and sunken lagoon caverns. Classic series elements return with modern twists, including side-scrolling segments and exhilarating mine cart sequences. For hands-on impressions, check our detailed Donkey Kong Bananza preview.
