Donkey Kong Bananza is a technically ambitious Switch 2 showcase, despite some rough edges


John Linneman delivers the Digital Foundry tech review of Donkey Kong Bananza on Switch 2, including details on the visuals, performance, resolution and sound.

Conceptually, Bananza is a 3D platform game, much like the team's Mario Odyssey before it, but the formula has been inverted, with players diving deeper into the core of the planet as you progress through all sorts of crazy worlds. In short, Donkey Kong Bananza doesn't just offer a compelling gameplay hook - it delivers it through clever technology and a level of polish that once again shows Nintendo at the top of their game. | Image credit: Digital Foundry Thankfully, in terms of audio, Bananza is an unmitigated success, matching the lofty ambitions for any mainline Donkey Kong title with catchy, atmospheric tracks that feel well-matched to every scene.
