Donkey Kong was Nintendo’s first big hit in arcades once it was released in 1981. The big ape was mostly an antagonist to Mario until he got his big break on the SNES in 1994 with the arrival of Donkey Kong Country.

There’s something joyful about the smash and jump movement of Donkey Kong, and that’s why Donkey Kong Bananza is likely to be a big hit on the Switch 2. The game is a 3D platforming action adventure that will be available exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2.

Nintendo just held a livestream to drop more details on the forthcoming Switch 2 console. At the very end, it revealed a brand-new 3D platformer starring Donkey Kong. This is the first game of its type since Donkey Kong 64 hit the Nintendo 64 all the way back in 1999.
