Donkey Kong Bananza releases on Switch 2, sparking hope for the new console
Nintendo just released one of its best games yet for the Switch 2: Donkey Kong Bananza.
A fresh addition to the renowned Donkey Kong series has been unveiled: Donkey Kong Bananza. What’s unique? There’s a buzz that it ranks among Nintendo’s finest titles ever produced. Moreover, this game marks one of the inaugural releases for the Switch 2, fueling anticipation that the console will deliver premium gaming experiences to players.
Donkey Kong Bananza gets high ratings for the Switch 2
Despite Nintendo releasing games at a more leisurely pace compared to other console manufacturers, they consistently earn extraordinary reviews. For instance, take a look at the iconic Mario and Zelda series; many gaming enthusiasts regard these franchises as the very best in the industry.
Well, Donkey Kong seems not to be far behind.
The freshly launched “Donkey Kong Bananza”, an open-world Donkey Kong game for the Switch 2, is driving fans into a frenzy! Notably, IGN has bestowed a perfect score of 10 on this game, labeling it as a true work of art.
Frankly, I never imagined “masterpiece” and “Donkey Kong” would ever be used together, but lo and behold, it seems they have been!
While the announcement about the Switch 2 certainly creates excitement, some have expressed reservations because of its high price point and limited game selection at this time.
Donkey Kong release has fans holding out hope for the new Nintendo console
In June 2025, Nintendo’s release of The Switch 2 has sparked criticism from its fanbase, due to the high cost of the console and its initial availability being limited to Mario Kart and GameCube online services.
Looking back at 2017, when Nintendo Switch first hit the market, its debut game – The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – was a huge success, even winning Game of the Year. Given the high price of the console, fans had hoped for another title of equal caliber to follow shortly after.
It appears that Donkey Kong Bananza, which seems to be the console’s initial standout game, has been receiving tremendous praise from gamers. This adoration for the title has sparked optimism among Nintendo enthusiasts, suggesting that the console may deliver a series of outstanding games in the years ahead.
