Donkey Kong Bananza is the very first AAA DK adventure to grace the Nintendo Switch 2 console. Not to forget, it's a perfect choice for anyone with a knack for an exceptional single-player experience.
Now, the question on everyone's mind is: will it come out on both Switch 1 and Switch 2?
Is Donkey Kong Bananza Playable On Nintendo Switch 1?
Donkey Kong Bananza is a Switch 2-exclusive game, which means it will be unavailable on Nintendo Switch 1, as well as other consoles.
All new Nintendo's first-party titles will most likely be part of Switch 2's game roster. Since the Nintendo Switch 1 has sold 152 million units following its 2017 release, we may still see some games that are being able to be played on both consoles.
Not to forget, Donkey Kong Bananza is a large-scale game, which could be a bit difficult to run on Switch 1. Additionally, a new game, on a brand-new console, is always a fan favorite.
How Much will Donkey Kong Bananza Cost?
Donkey Kong Bananza on Nintendo Switch 2 will sell for $69.99 for either the digital or physical edition.
Thankfully, Donkey Kong Bananza is relatively more affordable than Mario Kart World, which has a retail price of $80.
When Does Donkey Kong Bananza Come Out?
Donkey Kong Bananza will release exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2 on July 17, 2025. However, since the Switch 2 releases on June 5, 2025, you'll have to wait before experiencing this fantastic game on the new console.
Not to forget, Donkey Kong Bananza will be the first large-scale release for July 2025. Fortunately, the pre-orders are live for Nintendo fans.
List of Nintendo Switch Games for Switch 2 Editions
Nintendo has also planned four of its staple and popular titles to get their Switch 2 editions. All four of these Switch 2 versions will have their prices range between US$70 and US$80. And the famed games are:
- Tears of the Kingdom
- Super Mario Party Jamboree
- Kirby and the Forgotten Land
- Breath of the Wild
Now, if you own any of these titles on Switch, you can make a separate payment for their Switch 2 versions. For example, Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild will be US$10 each. Fortunately, if you have a Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack subscription, they're included within it.
However, Super Mario Party Jamboree and Kirby and the Forgotten Land will most likely be a bit more expensive, given their expansive content.
