I Can't Stop Thinking About Donkey Kong Bananza | PostMesmeric

He's back. Donkey Kong Bananza for the Nintendo Switch 2 is the first brand new Donkey Kong game in more than 10 years and first 3D platformer in more than 25. It's been vigorously shaking up the Nintendo scene since its release earlier in 2025. After dozens of hours of playtime and plenty of internal contemplation, I'm ready to speak my thoughts on this wild new direction for DK, gaming's favorite gorilla. Because I can't stop thinking about Donkey Kong Bananza.
