Donkey Kong Bananza Direct

A new Donkey Kong Bananza Direct will air this Wednesday, June 18, Nintendo just announced. The presentation will air at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET / 2 PM in the UK / 3 PM in Europe.

News about the Direct was just posted on Nintendo Today, the Big N’s official app for news updates and more. The message only mentions that the event will be about 15 minutes long. We’ll be covering the presentation as it happens and will pass along any notable information that’s shared.

Nintendo Switch 2 offers plenty of power and has new features like mouse controls and GameChat, but it’s building off the foundations of its predecessor. Partially because of that, some have the belief that it’s not much of an innovation.

Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa responded to that claim during a financial results briefing Q&A this week. The big takeaway is that developers have needed “higher hardware processing power in order to realize one of Nintendo’s most important values, ‘proposing new ways to play.'” Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza were cited as two examples “that could not be realized on the Nintendo Switch.” Mario Kart World features an open world with more racers on the track than ever before while Donkey Kong Bananza contains destructible environments.
