Yes, the MSRP Is $69.99

While some Nintendo Switch 2 games, like Mario Kart World, are pushing a new $79.99 price point, and even some upgraded original Switch titles like Super Mario Party Jamboree are following suit, Donkey Kong Bananza sticks to the $69.99 mark. This is $10 more than the standard price for most original Switch games, but it's reassuring to see it's not jumping to $79.99.

What Is Donkey Kong Bananza?

Donkey Kong Bananza marks the first new 3D Donkey Kong game since the 1999 N64 classic, Donkey Kong 64. The game introduces a novel digging mechanic, allowing Donkey Kong to smash and pound his way through the earth and cliffsides, revealing hidden secrets and treasures. Though much of the gameplay takes place underground, you'll navigate a variety of settings, from lush forests and deep canyons to serene lagoons and icy tundras. Staying true to the series, expect to encounter side-scrolling and mine cart rail-riding sections. It promises to be a blast—check out our hands-on preview of Donkey Kong Bananza for more insights.
