Overview

  • Amazon offered a 10% discount on Donkey Kong Bananza’s physical Switch 2 cartridge roughly one week after its July 17 launch.
  • The promotion reduced the price to $63 but has since ended, with Amazon reverting to the full $70 MSRP.
  • Major retailers including Walmart, Best Buy, Target and GameStop continue to list the game at full price between $69 and $70.
  • Digital copies were never included in the sale and have remained at Nintendo’s standard $69.99 rate.
  • Such early, retailer-specific markdowns for first-party Nintendo titles are highly unusual since these games typically stay at full price for months.
