The last big trailer for Nintendo Switch 2 was Donkey Kong Bananza, a new 3D platforming action adventure game that sees Donkey Kong smashing through a new world. He can even break off chunks of the world to find more areas to explore and use that debris to attack enemies with. There also looks to be plenty of bosses, humor, and even 2D sections.

Donkey Kong Bananza will be released on Nintendo Switch 2 on July 17, 2025.
