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 kind since Donkey Kong 64 hit the Nintendo 64 all the best way again in 1999. It’s known as Donkey Kong Bananza and launches completely 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 atmosphere is destructible, so DK can get in there and break stuff. It additionally options sidescrolling segments, form of like how fashionable Mario 3D platformers dip into their 2D roots each occasionally. We acquired to strive it out in our hands-on with the Switch 2, and whereas it appears fabulous, it additionally feels just like the sort of sport that may have regarded nice on the unique Change. With Nintendo's stylized graphics for titles like this, the impression of the Change 2's upgrades doesn't fairly hit the identical method it’d in different video games. That's not a giant knock, however simply one thing to pay attention to.
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 in the course of 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 edges of mountains (getting his BOTW-era Hyperlink on) and rollicking by a number of places. These embrace 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 number of impressions from our Change 2 hands-on demo.
