A big new Donkey Kong 3D platforming adventure is coming to Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo announced Wednesday during its Nintendo Direct showcase dedicated to the new console. It’s called Donkey Kong Bananza, and it will send (fresh new look) Donkey Kong to heretofore unexplored, underground territories where he’ll smash, grab, and throw things at anyone who stands in his way.

Donkey Kong Bananza will be released on July 17, about six weeks after the Nintendo Switch 2 launches in June, and it’ll cost $69.99.
While Donkey Kong Bananza looks to be primarily a 3D adventure, a trailer for the Switch 2 game reveals it will apparently have some side-scrolling elements too, in the style of the Donkey Kong Country games. Donkey Kong Bananza will be DK’s first fully 3D adventure since Donkey Kong 64; subsequent games have largely focused on classic side-scrolling action.
Update: This story has been updated to include the game’s price.
