While Nintendo platforming fans will eat DK Bananza up, the open-ended nature of the game will appeal to a lot more than just a select niche.

Rather than the tried-and-true Mario 3D platformer we all expected to release during the Switch 2 launch window, Nintendo has decided to take a somewhat risky swing with Donkey Kong Bananza.

Despite console sales that undoubtedly won’t be slowly down anytime soon, I still view the Switch 2’s birthday as a bit, well, underwhelming.
