Next Nintendo Direct Covers Donkey Kong Bananza

A Nintendo Direct will appear this week, but this June 2025 showcase will only focus on the upcoming Switch 2 game Donkey Kong Bananza. It will air at 6am PT/9am ET/3pm CET on June 18, 2025. This is the upcoming platformer and adventure that sends Donkey Kong into environments where some areas are able to be completely destroyed. Since this Nintendo Direct only focuses on Donkey Kong Bananza, it will be relatively short. It lasts 15 minutes. The entirety will focus on gameplay, characters, and its story as Donkey Kong faces VoidCo and its employees. We might also learn more about Odd Rock, his sidekick with special abilities in this entry. Here’s the placeholder for the showcase: https://www.youtube.com/live/YVUidGTR8xg The last single-game presentation focused on Mario Kart World. That focused on gameplay as well for 15 minutes. As with some of the other recent Switch 2 games, Donkey Kong Bananza will be more expensive than some other titles. It will cost $69.99 when it debuts. That’s the same price as Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition on the system. Meanwhile, the other first-party release from the company so far is Mario Kart World, and that’s $79.99. The Donkey Kong Bananza Nintendo Direct will air at 6am PT/9am ET/3pm CET on June 18, 2025, just about a month before the Switch 2 game’s July 17, 2025 debut.
