Yes, the MSRP Is $69.99

While Nintendo is introducing a higher $79.99 price point for some Switch 2 games, such as Mario Kart World, and even some enhanced original Switch titles like Super Mario Party Jamboree, Donkey Kong Bananza remains priced at $69.99. This is $10 more than the standard price for most original Switch games, but it's reassuring to see it not reaching the $79.99 mark.

What Is Donkey Kong Bananza?

Donkey Kong Bananza marks the first new 3D Donkey Kong game since the 1999 N64 classic, Donkey Kong 64. A key feature is a novel digging mechanic where Donkey Kong can pound and smash his way through the ground or the sides of cliffs. The trailer hints at a wealth of secrets and treasures hidden underground.

While much of the gameplay occurs underground, you'll explore a range of settings, including forests, canyons, lagoons, and frozen tundras. The game stays true to its roots with side-scrolling and mine cart rail-riding sections, promising a fun and engaging experience.
