Yes, the MSRP Is $69.99

While Nintendo has introduced a $79.99 price point for some Switch 2 titles like Mario Kart World and even upgraded original Switch games such as Super Mario Party Jamboree, Donkey Kong Bananza sticks to the $69.99 mark. This is $10 more than the standard price for most original Switch games, but it's a relief it's not hitting the $79.99 mark.

What Is Donkey Kong Bananza?

Donkey Kong Bananza marks the first new 3D Donkey Kong game since the 1999 N64 classic, Donkey Kong 64. A standout feature is Donkey Kong's new digging ability, allowing him to pound and smash his way through the ground or cliff sides. The trailer suggests there's a wealth of secrets and treasures to discover underground.

While much of the action takes place below the surface, players will explore a variety of settings, from forests and canyons to lagoons and frozen tundras. Staying true to the franchise, the game includes side-scrolling and mine cart rail-riding sections, promising a fun and engaging experience.
