It was always going to be a toss-up between a new 3D Mario and a new 3D DK revealed in yesterday's Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, and we ended up getting the latter. Donkey Kong Bananza looked stunning in its reveal trailer and now, Nintendo has given us an even closer look.

The rumours are true and not only has Donkey Kong had a major makeover but his new Nintendo Switch 2 game is like nothing he’s ever starred in before.

Donkey Kong has been pulled up to the majors. The 2D platforming star is back in a 3D adventure for the first time since the absolutely terrible Donkey Kong 64. Fortunately, things look way better in Donkey Kong Bananza for the Switch 2.

Donkey Kong is back with a new look in Donkey Kong Bananza. Revealed during today's Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, the game will be coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 on July 17, 2025. It'll be retailing for $69.99.
