Yes, the MSRP Is $69.99

Nintendo has introduced a new $79.99 price point for certain Switch 2 titles, such as Mario Kart World, and even for some enhanced original Switch games like Super Mario Party Jamboree. However, Donkey Kong Bananza maintains a $69.99 price tag. This is $10 more than most original Switch game prices, but it's reassuring to see it priced below the new $79.99 standard.

What Is Donkey Kong Bananza?

Donkey Kong Bananza marks the first new 3D Donkey Kong game since the iconic 1999 N64 title, Donkey Kong 64. A standout feature is the new digging mechanic, allowing Donkey Kong to pound and smash his way through the earth and cliff faces. The game promises a wealth of secrets and treasures hidden underground.

While much of the gameplay occurs below ground, players will explore a variety of settings, from lush forests and rugged canyons to serene lagoons and icy tundras. In true Donkey Kong fashion, expect side-scrolling and thrilling mine cart sections. For a deeper dive, check out our hands-on preview of Donkey Kong Bananza.
