Yes, the MSRP Is $69.99

Nintendo has introduced a new $79.99 price point for some Switch 2 games, such as Mario Kart World, and even for some upgraded original Switch games like Super Mario Party Jamboree. However, they've decided to keep Donkey Kong Bananza at $69.99. While this is $10 more than the standard price for most original Switch games, it's still a relief it's not the higher $79.99.

What Is Donkey Kong Bananza?

Donkey Kong Bananza marks the first new 3D Donkey Kong game since the 1999 N64 platformer, Donkey Kong 64. A key gameplay feature is Donkey Kong's digging ability, which lets him pound and smash his way into the ground or through cliff sides. The trailer hints at a wealth of secrets and treasures hidden beneath the surface.

While many levels take place underground, the game also includes a variety of environments such as forests, canyons, lagoons, and frozen tundras. Staying true to the series' roots, you'll also encounter classic side-scrolling and mine cart rail-riding sections. It promises to be a fun experience.
