It was a quiet week for Nintendo during the bedlam of the summer showcases. We had Summer Games Fest and the Future Games Show where we could have seen information from Nintendo about their 2025 lineup. However, it was radio silence from the ‘Big N’ as they rode the media hype train of the release of their new hardware.
When the Switch 2 was revealed, hardware launch title Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza were the two key first party games for Switch 2’s launch summer.
With Mario Kart World now available, it’s over to Donkey Kong Bananza to have it’s time in the spotlight. Bananza releases on 17 July 2025 and later this week we will have our first full deep dive in to Switch 2’s big platforming adventure.
The Direct will air on Nintendo’s YouTube channel on Wednesday 18 June 2025 _ 6am PT, 9am ET, 2pm BST, 3pm CEST. The stream will last approximately 15 minutes.
What are you looking forward to at the upcoming Direct? Is Donkey Kong’s first full 3D platforming adventure in over 25 years – the first since Donkey Kong 64 – one you’re looking forward to? Let us know in the comments below.
Gamer Social Club will be covering all of the Donkey Kong Bananza Direct news later this week, check back for all the news!
