Yes, the MSRP Is $69.99

While Nintendo has introduced a new $79.99 price point for some Switch 2 titles like Mario Kart World and even some enhanced original Switch games such as Super Mario Party Jamboree, Donkey Kong Bananza retains a $69.99 price tag. This represents a $10 increase over the typical pricing of most original Switch games, but it's reassuring to see it priced below the new higher tier.

What Is Donkey Kong Bananza?

PlayMarking the first new 3D Donkey Kong game since the 1999 N64 classic Donkey Kong 64, Donkey Kong Bananza introduces a novel digging mechanic. Our hero will pound and smash his way through the ground and cliff sides, uncovering secrets and treasures hidden beneath the surface.

While much of the gameplay unfolds underground, the game spans various environments, from forests and canyons to lagoons and frozen tundras. Staying true to its roots, the game also includes side-scrolling and mine cart rail-riding sections, promising a fun and varied experience.
