  • Best Platformer Ever
Platform: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition: Game only
I have been gaming for 30 years and I have never played a platformer this fun and addicting. Generally people say Mario Galaxy, Mario Odyssey, and Astro Bot are the best, and I am happy to say this is better than all of them. You explore various maps looking for crystal banana's, similar to Mario games where you look for stars, shine sprites, and moons. Instead of jumping around to solve puzzles, you can smash essentially any object in this game and that opens up a whole new world in terms of exploration and gameplay. DK is a beast and you can smash through stone, dirt, sand, wood, and so much more. The world is yours to explore and to destroy. While tearing through the land, you will discover hidden paths and loot that you will be addicted to finding. Its like they took the best of everything Mario and threw in some Zelda and DK Country love to make the perfect platforming game. You can climb almost any surface and pick up chunks of the ground to smash things with it or even turf surf with it. There is even some transformations that allow you to smash more, run faster, and even fly. This is freedom on another level from Nintendo. Visuals and sound are great. Majority of time the game runs 60fps but it will hit occasional drops, but not often. The worst is when you look at the map for some reason. Its real time and shows all of your destruction in a 3D model so I get that it can be taxing but it tanks the FPS to 30 for sure. You will not be in the map much, so I wouldn't sweat it. Visually the maps are all distinct and look great. You get real 90's Rare vibes from it all and old and new fans will appreciate it. Graphics are really great but Nintendo using FSR 1, which is old tech at this point is kind of silly. The Switch 2 can use a DLSS which would have been optimal for this game. Lastly, the sound effects are great and the music is good. Is it DK country good? No, but the music fits this game well. I have played Expedition 33, Death Stranding 2, and various other games this year and DK is better than all of them. This is my Game of the Year and if Nintendo can top this on the Switch 2, then we may be in for the best Nintendo console generation ever. 10 out of 10 for me. ... show more

  • A Barrel of Fun – Donkey Kong Is Back and Better Than Ever!
Platform: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition: Game only
I picked up Donkey Kong Bananza for my Nintendo Switch 2, and it’s been an absolute blast from start to finish! The game feels like a perfect mix of classic Donkey Kong charm and modern platforming brilliance. The levels are colorful, creative, and packed with secrets that keep me coming back for more. The new Bananza mechanic (collecting special bananas that unlock crazy power-ups) adds a fresh twist to the gameplay. It’s super satisfying to chain combos, swing through vines, and smash barrels with that iconic DK flair. The graphics look gorgeous in 4K on the Switch 2, and the loading times are lightning-fast—there’s no waiting around, just straight into the action. The soundtrack is another highlight—it’s catchy, nostalgic, and perfectly fits the upbeat energy of the game. Whether you’re playing solo or in co-op, Bananza is pure fun and a must-have for any Donkey Kong fan. Highly recommend this one—it’s easily one of the standout titles on the Switch 2 library so far! ... show more

  • Unbound adventure in every area of the game
Platform: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition: Game only
This is a open world fun experience with hidden treasures buried everywhere. The possibilities are numbing while playing it and you can choose to either expedite the mission or explore -the game allows for both. Every area is packed with riddles and hidden gems. It takes the feeling of awe and discovery onto a new level within minutes of plugging it in. Visually, it's as good as any Nintendo game. The mechanics are wonderful and DK's abilities are dynamic which adds interest to the game. Overall, I'm glad this was my first game on the Switch2 and I'm only 25 hours in. ... show more

  • Punching Rocks Has Never Been So Therapeutic!
Platform: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition: Game only
Donkey Kong Bananza for Switch 2 is hands-down one of the most unexpectedly delightful games I’ve picked up this year. From the moment I booted it up, I was hooked by its colorful visuals, quirky soundtrack, and hilarious cutscenes. The gameplay blends platforming, light puzzle-solving, and wild bonus challenges—like barrel races and banana-catching frenzies—into one joyful ride. The controls are super intuitive, making it easy to dive in whether you’re new to gaming or a seasoned fan. Even the motion controls feel snappy and precise, which is a big win in my book. What really makes this game shine is its sheer replay ability. Unlockable costumes and side quests keep you coming back. Whether you're aiming for high scores in jungle jump-offs or just vibing with the wacky characters, it’s ridiculously addictive. I planned to play for 20 minutes and ended up logging two hours without noticing. If you're on the fence, go for it—you won’t regret joining the Bananza! ... show more

  • Great game

The game looks amazing and is so fun. So far, it's been pretty easy but still is challenging enough to be entertaining

  • DK has a brand new look!
Platform: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition: Game only
No spoilers, got passed the intro and am on the first of the sub levels maybe about an hour or so in. This game is incredible and satisfying to play, making the environment completely destructible is awesome, and DK's punches have a satisfying weight to them. The ingot isle's environments are beautiful and uniquely their own. The collect-a-thon style to the game makes it feel like Mario odyssey went bananas! (sorry, had to fit in the pun) Like Mario, DK has been given so many new abilities that make the world you traverse such an amazingly fun experience. Those who have a Switch 2, pick it up if you can! It's really fun! ... show more
