Donkey Kong Bananza Might Be Nintendo’s Best Game in Years

Nintendo’s Donkey Kong Bananza Direct just changed everything. After months of silence, we finally have a real look at the most ambitious Donkey Kong game ever — and it might be the best 3D platformer since Mario Odyssey. From wild new transformations and a full skill tree system to the surprise return of Pauline and a co-op mode, DK Bananza looks absolutely packed with content.

In this video, I break down everything Nintendo just showed off in the Donkey Kong Bananza Direct — including new characters, bosses, DK’s movement upgrades, customization, and all the juicy fan-service moments that prove this is a true love letter to Donkey Kong fans.

🟡 Why Pauline’s role in the story is bigger than we thought
🟡 The Zelda-style skill tree that makes Bonanza feel like an RPG
🟡 New transformations, co-op features, and amiibo support
🟡 Why this might be the true follow-up to Mario Odyssey

If you’ve been waiting almost 30 years for a proper 3D Donkey Kong game… the wait is finally over.

👉 Donkey Kong Bananza releases July 17 on Nintendo Switch 2.
