Join me as I dive into Donkey Kong Bananza, the highly anticipated 3D Donkey Kong game, at the Nintendo Switch 2 NYC Experience Event! I had the chance to play the game not once, but twice, and let me tell you – this is not your typical platformer. In this video, I’ll be sharing my first impressions, gameplay highlights, and what makes Bananza feel like the next big thing for Donkey Kong.

This game is more than just another entry in the DK series – it’s a massive leap forward in terms of gameplay, visuals, and story. Get a closer look at the world of Donkey Kong like never before, with huge open levels, explosive new moves, and a return to the 3D space that fans have been waiting for.

If you're a fan of Donkey Kong, platformers, or 3D adventures, you won't want to miss this.
