Nintendo simply held a livestream to drop extra particulars on the forthcoming Change 2 console. On the very finish, it revealed a brand-new 3D platformer starring Donkey Kong. That is the primary sport of its sort since Donkey Kong 64 hit the Nintendo 64 all the best way again in 1999. It’s referred to as Donkey Kong Bananza and launches solely for the Change 2 on July 17, which is simply over a month after the console hits retailer cabinets.
It appears cool! A lot of the surroundings is destructible, so DK can get in there and break stuff. It additionally options sidescrolling segments, type of like how trendy Mario 3D platformers dip into their 2D roots each from time to time. We received to attempt it out in our hands-on with the Switch 2, and whereas it appears fabulous, it additionally feels just like the form of sport that may have seemed nice on the unique Change. With Nintendo's stylized graphics for titles like this, the influence of the Change 2's upgrades doesn't fairly hit the identical approach it’d in different video games. That's not an enormous knock, however simply one thing to concentrate on.
The entire thing has a cool and cartoonish vibe one would anticipate from our favourite gorilla. Nevertheless, I didn’t hear one lick of the famous Donkey Kong rap throughout the trailer however the equally iconic "ooh banana" sound impact from DK64 does make a short cameo.
The trailer does present DK climbing up the perimeters of mountains (getting his BOTW-era Hyperlink on) and rollicking by means of a number of places. These embody a forest and an ice area, amongst others. The footage additionally reveals the meanest wanting Kong I’ve ever seen.
We don’t know an excessive amount of about this sport past what the trailer reveals, however we don’t have that lengthy to attend. As soon as once more, Donkey Kong Bananza comes out on July 17.
Replace: April 3 2025, 10:10AM ET: Up to date with a couple of impressions from our Change 2 hands-on demo.
