The Nintendo Direct presentation for Donkey Kong Bananza showcased more about the game that Nintendo Switch 2 owners can expect to see on July 17th, 2025. Those who have been waiting for another reason to justify purchasing a Switch 2 won’t have to wait much longer for a single-player adventure that will have them smashing their way to gold bananas with Donkey Kong. But in addition to a brand-new adventure for Nintendo’s favorite gorilla with a tie, Donkey Kong Bananza has a few interesting features on the Switch 2 that are drawing attention. The game will have a co-op feature that lets players bring a friend to control the young Pauline on Donkey Kong’s escapades. But this is part of something that is much more intriguing for Switch 2 owners, and could mean something even greater for future games for the console.
