Nintendo Announces Donkey Kong Bananza Direct for This Week

Nintendo announced a 15-minute Direct focused solely on Donkey Kong Bananza, a Switch 2 exclusive, scheduled for June 18, 2025.
The Direct follows the April Switch 2 showcase and aims to spotlight this 3D platforming game amid Nintendo's relatively light 2025 exclusive lineup.
Donkey Kong Bananza features a redesigned Donkey Kong and a new companion, Odd Rock, chasing stolen banana-shaped diamonds from the villainous VoidCo.
The game launches on July 17, 2025, costs $69.99, is available for preorder, and the Direct will air on YouTube at 9 a.m. ET, 6 a.m. PT, and 2 p.m. BST.
This focused event will help flesh out Switch 2's exclusives after launch and follows Donkey Kong's redesign explained by Nintendo developer Shigeru Miyamoto.
