A reader is very impressed by Donkey Kong Bananza on the Nintendo Switch 2 and praises it for focusing on being a video game above all else.

Donkey Kong Bananza is densely packed with hidden goodies, the most significant of which are the Banandium gems. These crystalline bananas are Donkey Kong’s favorite snack, and can be found absolutely anywhere, buried beneath mounds of earth, hanging from the top of undersides of hard-to-reach ledges, and so much more.

Donkey Kong Bananza marks the first major first-party release from Nintendo since the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2.
