Donkey Kong Bananza’s Nintendo Direct has wrapped up, and with the game set to launch on July 17, many of us are pondering our thoughts on this long-awaited title. Will you be getting it at launch, or are you planning to wait?
It’s hard to believe that over 20 years have passed since we last saw a fully 3D Donkey Kong adventure, a nostalgia trip for fans of DK64. The latest Nintendo Direct showcased stunning visuals, destructible environments, memorable bosses, and exciting transformations. These features promise a wealth of fun and options for players.
So, are you planning to dive into this game when it arrives?
For me, if you’re among the lucky owners of a Switch 2, it’s an obvious choice to grab this game. The buzz suggests it might be crafted by the talented team behind Super Mario Odyssey, although that hasn’t been officially confirmed yet. With a packed release schedule for the Switch 2, this title looks like a standout. Plus, I can already feel the adrenaline rush of speedrunning this game.
It’s thrilling to see familiar faces returning, including Dixie and Diddy Kong, alongside classic characters like Rambi. Personally, I have not been a huge fan of Donkey Kong’s recent 2D side-scrollers, so the prospect of a grand adventure is incredibly appealing. I can’t wait to uncover every Golden Banana hidden throughout the levels.
What did you think of the Nintendo Direct? Were there any surprises that caught your attention? The transformations definitely took me by surprise, and I still can’t wrap my head around the creative direction of the game. While some are already calling it a Game of the Year contender, that may be a tad ambitious.
