The destruction in Donkey Kong Bananza is just the latest example of an ongoing design trend.

The Nintendo San Francisco store is holding its third major event since it opened in May with the launch of “Donkey Kong Bananza.” The game marks the popular character’s second foray in a 3D platformer, and it’s also the second major first-party game built specifically for the Nintendo Switch 2.

In Digital Foundry's tech review of Donkey Kong Bananza, it's noted that the latest Switch 2 exclusive title doesn't support DLSS, despite it being one of the console's major features.

Bo Bragason and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth have been cast as Princess Zelda and Link. Though Nintendo’s live-action Legend of Zelda movie won’t be out until May 7th, 2027, we finally know who is going to be playing the titular princess and her faithful knight.

Best Buy will reportedly restock Switch 2 consoles next on July 17, which coincides with the release of Donkey Kong Bananza. The Nintendo Switch 2 is finally available in the US, but it's still pretty tough to find it in stock online anywhere.

The Switch 2′s technology grants “Donkey Kong Bananza” destructible environments, in a perfect crystallization of Nintendo’s game design philosophy.

The next Nintendo Direct might be coming up very soon. That's according to reputable source Nate the Hate, who said during a podcast today, July 14, that the next Direct is slated for this month.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds launches on September 25, 2025 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, Switch 2 and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. Once again, those hoping for the physical Switch 2 release will still need to wait until early 2026.
