Nintendo has announced a special Nintendo Direct presentation focused on Donkey Kong Bananza, scheduled for Wednesday, June 18, at 6 am PDT / 9 am EDT. The 15-minute livestream will provide an in-depth look at the upcoming 3D platformer, set to launch exclusively on the Nintendo Switch 2 on July 17.
Donkey Kong Bananza marks the franchise's return to 3D gameplay after more than two decades. Players will control Donkey Kong as he embarks on a quest to recover stolen banana-shaped diamonds from the villainous group VoidCo. The game features destructible environments, allowing players to smash terrain to create paths and uncover hidden areas. A new companion, Odd Rock, assists Donkey Kong by providing guidance and aiding in puzzle-solving.
