MSRP Details

While some Switch 2 titles are setting a new standard at $79.99, such as Mario Kart World and revamped original Switch games like Super Mario Party Jamboree, Donkey Kong Bananza sticks to the $69.99 price tag. This is a $10 increase from the typical pricing of most original Switch games, but it's a relief it's not hitting the $79.99 mark.

What Is Donkey Kong Bananza?

Marking the first new 3D Donkey Kong game since the 1999 classic Donkey Kong 64, Donkey Kong Bananza introduces a fresh digging mechanic. Our hero, Donkey Kong, will be seen pounding and smashing his way through the ground and cliff sides, uncovering hidden secrets and treasures. Although much of the gameplay appears to take place underground, you'll explore diverse environments such as forests, canyons, lagoons, and frozen tundras. The game stays true to its roots with classic side-scrolling and mine cart sections. It promises to be a thrilling adventure.
