Yes, the MSRP Is $69.99

While Nintendo has been experimenting with a new $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 the more reasonable $69.99. That's a $10 increase over the standard pricing for most original Switch games, but fans will be relieved it's not the steeper $79.99.

What Is Donkey Kong Bananza?

Donkey Kong Bananza marks the first new 3D Donkey Kong adventure since the iconic 1999 N64 title, Donkey Kong 64. A key feature of this game is Donkey Kong's digging ability, enabling him to pound and smash his way through the earth and cliffsides. The game's trailer teases a world filled with hidden secrets and treasures waiting to be discovered underground.

While much of the action occurs below ground, players will traverse a diverse range of environments including forests, canyons, lagoons, and frozen tundras. Staying true to the series' roots, the game also includes classic side-scrolling and mine cart sections that promise to deliver the fun and excitement fans expect.
