Nintendo is releasing a new 3D Donkey Kong game that will be an exclusive for the Nintendo Switch 2. The game, Donkey Kong Bananza, will release on July 17th, which is a little more than a month after the June 5th launch of the Switch 2.

Donkey Kong Bananza could be what makes me buy a Nintendo Switch 2. Yes, other intriguing games are coming to Nintendo’s next handheld/console hybrid, such as Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and Mario Kart World. However, Bananza seems to be the unofficial Super Mario Odyssey sequel I’ve been waiting for.

It’s been a long time coming, but Donkey Kong gets to be the star of a new 3D platformer that’ll serve as one of the Nintendo Switch 2’s first exclusives.
