Quick Look: 8-Minute Donkey Kong Bonanza Overview Trailer Swings In

Ummm, okay, let’s dive into this. So, Nintendo of America just dropped this kinda long-ish — what was it, eight minutes? — trailer for something called Donkey Kong Bananza. Exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2. Honestly, why do they always have to make these things sound like a secret club? Anyway, it’s out this month.

So, here’s the scoop: you’ve got Donkey Kong and Pauline, right? They’re down in this crazy underground world — sort of like my basement, but with less laundry — trying to snatch up as many Golden Bananas as possible. But wait, because there’s also this shadowy organization called VoidCo. I mean, what do they need bananas for? Smoothies? A potassium surplus? Who knows.

The whole thing is supposed to be this wild ride with mayhem and surprises. Bananas everywhere. You can totally wreck stuff, bash through walls with Donkey Kong’s epic punches — imagine the sound of tearing paper, but heavier. You know what I mean? It’s like, the more chaos you create, the more places you can explore. Plus, secrets. Maybe like hidden banana stashes or something. Imagine the sheer number of banana bread recipes I could experiment with.

Mark your calendars, or don’t. It’s hitting stores and the digital shelves — if those are a thing, really — on the Nintendo eShop for the Switch 2 everywhere on July 17, 2025. Can you believe how far away that feels? Or maybe it’s just me. Anyway — wait, no — yeah, that’s it.
