Of course, there is a new Jump'n'run for the release of the Switch 2 - but it's not Mario! Instead, Donkey Kong is honored in a new title!
After plenty of Third-Party games, Nintendo at the end hit a first party title for the newly announced Switch 2. Anyone who thought that a new Mario-Jump'n'Run would come to the release of the console in a timely manner will be deceived. The Jump'n'run honor is given to the Switch 2 Donkey Kong!
The Japanese work on Donkey Kong Bananza, which is a classic 3D platform adventure that focuses on the muscular monkey. The title, which appears exclusively for the Switch 2, will not yet be available directly for the console launch in early June, but will give you a few weeks with Mario Kart World. The release date was lashed on July 17, 2025.
In the role of Donkey Kong, you can explore unexplored open play areas in the game in the game and make your way, whereby the power of the monkey is used. This can dig into the surface, dig through walls or throw things on everything and everyone, which stands in the way. The destructible environment plays a leading role in the gameplay.
Although the game is essentially a 3D adventure, the trailer shown suggests that there will also be some side scrolling elements-entirely in the style of the Donkey Kong Country games. The bottom line is that Donkey Kong Bananza is probably the first full 3D adventure of the protagonist since Donkey Kong 64.
Further details about Donkey Kong Bananza will follow at a later time, maybe also - also -- As part of your own direct conference?!
