Guide to Pre-Ordering Donkey Kong Bananza for the Switch 2

While the Nintendo Switch 2 isn’t rolling out with a fresh 3D Mario game right off the bat, it’s bringing something equally exciting for fans: a brand-new 3D platformer featuring none other than Donkey Kong. Titled Donkey Kong Bananza, this thrilling adventure is set to hit the Switch 2 on July 17. You can already secure your copy with a pre-order from major retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, GameStop, and Target for $69.99. Just a heads up, GameStop will start accepting online pre-orders at 11 a.m. EDT.

So, what does Donkey Kong bring to the table? While Mario thrives on gobbling mushrooms and bouncing off turtles, Donkey Kong is all about devouring bananas and delivering powerful punches. Donkey Kong Bananza offers classic platforming fun but also highlights DK’s knack for sheer destruction. While bananas might just be a tasty snack for humans, for Donkey Kong, they unlock extraordinary abilities. Imagine hurling boulders, shattering walls with mighty fists, and causing delightful chaos. In some thrilling moments, DK can even burrow through the ground and rip apart segments of the environment, adding a new dimension to his powerhouse persona.
