New game release July: Donkey Kong Bananza

Get ready to smash. Almost every surface in Donkey Kong Bananza can be destroyed. Bash through walls, dig tunnels, and tear up the landscape to uncover secrets, create new paths, or take down enemies. The environment is your playground, and how you shape it is up to you.

Donkey Kong can transform into powerful animal forms. Glide across gaps as a speedy zebra, soar and drop egg bombs as an ostrich, or unleash brute strength with new abilities. These power-ups, earned from wise animal elders, can be swapped on the fly for a strategic twist.

For the first time, team up with a young Pauline. Whether you’re playing solo or with a friend using GameShare support, Pauline can use her singing voice to trigger Donkey Kong’s transformations and blast obstacles with explosive projectiles. Work together to solve puzzles and conquer tough enemies.

Bananza is built from the ground up for the Nintendo Switch 2, taking full advantage of the new hardware’s power. Expect smoother performance, larger worlds, and more detailed environments than ever before in a Donkey Kong game. This is the next evolution of the franchise, designed to showcase what the new console can do.
