Yes, the MSRP Is $69.99

While Nintendo has introduced a higher $79.99 price point for some Switch 2 titles like Mario Kart World and even some enhanced original Switch games such as Super Mario Party Jamboree, they've decided to keep Donkey Kong Bananza at $69.99. This is a $10 increase from the standard pricing of most original Switch games, but it's a relief that it's not the higher $79.99.

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 of this game is Donkey Kong's new digging ability, allowing him to pound and smash his way through the ground and cliff sides. The trailer hints at a wealth of secrets and treasures waiting to be discovered underground.

While much of the gameplay takes place below the surface, players will also explore a variety of above-ground environments, including forests, canyons, lagoons, and frozen tundras. Staying true to the series' roots, the game includes classic side-scrolling and mine cart rail-riding sections. It promises to be a fun and engaging experience.
