Yes, the MSRP Is $69.99

While Nintendo has introduced a new $79.99 price point for some Switch 2 titles, such as Mario Kart World, and even for some upgraded original Switch games like Super Mario Party Jamboree, Donkey Kong Bananza remains priced at $69.99. This is $10 more than the standard price for 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 1999 N64 classic, 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 suggests a wealth of secrets and treasures waiting to be discovered underground.

While much of the gameplay takes place underground, players will explore a variety of environments, including forests, canyons, lagoons, and frozen tundras. Staying true to the series, the game also includes side-scrolling and mine cart rail-riding sections, promising a fun and engaging experience.
