Ready to swing through the jungle once again? Nintendo is bringing back one of its most iconic heroes – and he’s returning in full force. Say hello to Donkey Kong Bananza, a bold new platformer launching on the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 this July!
🌴 A True Comeback for the King of the Jungle
It’s been over a decade since Tropical Freeze hit the scene – and fans have waited long enough. Donkey Kong Bananza delivers a modern twist on classic 2.5D action, blending crisp 3D visuals with side-scrolling gameplay, massive levels, and that signature jungle chaos we all love.
Expect mine carts, barrel blasts, lush environments, and yes.. bananas. Lots of bananas.
🎨 Visuals & Performance
Donkey Kong Bananza is said to run at 60 FPS with 4K upscaling while docked, making it one of the best looking platformers ever released on a Nintendo system. Dynamic lighting, animated cutscenes, and interactive backgrounds bring the jungle to life like never before.
🐵 Playable Kongs & Features
You won’t be swinging solo – here’s who’s joining the action:
- Diddy Kong | fast and nimble with his jetpack
- Dixie Kong | glides through the air with her ponytail spin
- Cranky Kong | old school power with cane jumps
- Funky Kong | rumored as a bonus unlock 🔒
➡️ 2-Player local coop is confirmed – and online multiplayer is in development.
📺 A Bigger DK Universe?
