Overview
- Nintendo confirmed Donkey Kong Bananza will launch exclusively on Switch 2 on July 17, with preorders now live.
- The Direct revealed DK can unleash destructive platforming by smashing terrain, ripping chunks to use as weapons, and channeling “bananergy” into ostrich, zebra and other animal transformations.
- A two-player cooperative mode lets a second player control Pauline and supports GameShare to share one digital copy across two consoles.
- The game unfolds across a subterranean realm featuring beaches, mountains and icy ruins as DK and Pauline search for the rare Banandium gem.
- Players can advance through a skill tree to unlock new abilities, customize outfits for both characters and sculpt rocks in a bonus mode using the Switch 2’s mouse controls.
