So it’s finally here… We shouldn’t be surprised that Donkey Kong Bananza is stuffed full of musical references. After all, if you’re playing Mario Kart World right now, you know Nintendo is going all-in on its musical history right now (it has always, but right now, we’re eating). We heard many a classic DK track…
How are YOUR bananergy levels today? Well, well, well. We’re just fresh from taking in everything that Nintendo’s Donkey Kong Bananza Direct has shown us about the incoming Switch 2 game, and there’s quite a lot of very exciting things to discuss!

Double trouble. Nintendo has lifted the lid on a wealth of Donkey Kong Bananza news, with new and classic characters making a comeback and tons of incredible skills and collectibles to discover.

Excellent bait and switch. We all knew this was coming following a cheeky little leak some weeks back, but Nintendo has nw showcased the final box art for Donkey Kong Bananza, and it looks incredible. Showcasing Pauline in all her glory, we’d go so far as to say that this box art might go down…

Sculpt and paint using mouse mode. Nintendo’s recent Donkey Kong Bananza Direct shed a load of light on the upcoming platformer, and one of the coolest new additions is undoubtedly DK Artist. Channeling some serious Super Mario 64 energy (in which you could mess around with a 3D model of Mario in the title screen),…
Banana split. Nintendo hit us with a bunch of Donkey Kong Bananza info in that Direct, and one of the features that we’re the most excited to see get the ol’ confirmation is two-player co-op! Oddrock is out and Pauline is in (who could have seen that coming?), and you can bring a friend along…
The singing sensation has arrived. The Donkey Kong Bananza Nintendo Direct has confirmed the worst-kept secret about the upcoming platformer — Odd Rock, the purple rock that DK carries around with him, isn’t a rock, it’s Pauline! In Donkey Kong Bananza, Pauline is a talented singer who wants to reach the Planet’s Core to make…
Ap-peel-ing. Put your Switch 2 down for a second, folks, because we are mere minutes away from another Nintendo Direct!
