Donkey Kong Bananza Switch Preorders Are Live At Amazon
Donkey Kong fans only have to wait one more month to play the first 3D adventure in the iconic franchise since 1999's Donkey Kong 64. Well, and you also need a Nintendo Switch 2. Donkey Kong Bananza launches exclusively on Switch 2 on July 17. Out of all of the Nintendo exclusives shown off for Switch 2 so far, Donkey Kong Bananza has arguably looked the best from a technical standpoint. Preorders are available now at multiple major retailers, including Amazon. It's one of numerous Switch 2 games Amazon is now carrying after more than a year of not selling Nintendo games or hardware.
Though Nintendo has priced some Switch 2 games at $80, including the console's marquee launch game, Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong's first original game in more than a decade is $70.

$70 | Releases July 17
Like other first-party Nintendo Switch 2 games, the full Donkey Kong Bananza experience is on the game card. Many third-party Switch 2 physical releases include Game-Key Cards, which look the same visually, but require at least part of the game file to be downloaded to your console. Donkey Kong Bananza's file size is 10GB. Outside of any patches, you won't need to download any of those gigabytes.
Donkey Kong Bananza physical edition preorders are available at Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Target, and GameStop.
Bananza's reveal trailer gave fans a glimpse at the upcoming game's fast-paced traversal system as well as Donkey Kong's immense strength. We knew DK was strong, but his fists can actually break terrain into chunks of rock, create tunnels, and hoist boulders over his head before hurling them at enemies. Destruction is the central mechanic here. The game's levels look like wide-open playgrounds for Donkey Kong to swing, roll, run, and bash his way through. Though it takes place underground, Bananza will have at least a handful of themed locales, including forested areas, water and ice environments, canyons, and mines.
