The new Donkey Kong game will reach the highest picture quality possible on Nintendo Switch 2 when players use handheld mode. Nintendo shared this news in their 2025 digital magazine. The game runs at 1080p resolution with smooth 60 frames per second movement and bright HDR colors. Most launch games for new systems cannot hit these top settings. Players will need to see how often the game maintains these high-quality visuals during actual gameplay.
Donkey Kong Bananza brings fresh ideas to the series without restarting its story completely since Cranky Kong still appears. The famous ape sports a new look but also gains powerful abilities. He can smash through parts of levels with his fists, changing how players explore each stage. These punching moves create different gameplay from older Donkey Kong titles. Fans can read more about these changes in Nathan's early review article.
Players can start their adventure with Donkey Kong Bananza when Nintendo Switch 2 arrives on July 17.
