Yes, the MSRP Is $69.99

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

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 key gameplay feature in this new title is a digging mechanic that lets Donkey Kong smash and pound his way through the ground or into the sides of cliffs. The game's trailer hints at an abundance of secrets and treasures waiting to be discovered underground.

Although much of the action takes place below the surface, players will explore a range of settings including forests, canyons, lagoons, and frozen tundras. Staying true to the series' roots, there are also sections with side-scrolling and mine cart rail-riding. It promises to be a thrilling experience.
