5 Amazing Games We’re Excited to Play Again This Weekend

Alright, so imagine this—a game, right? It’s called Donkey Kong Bananza. No, seriously, that’s the name. And guess what, you get to play it on the Switch 2. Fancy, huh? Now, before I forget, let me tell you about your big mission: diving into the planet’s core. Sounds intense, doesn’t it? But wait, here’s the kicker—banana. Yep, banana. Maybe I’m obsessing, but it’s like the whole vibe of the game.

See, this isn’t just about smashing things and swinging around. Nope, Donkey Kong here? He’s got a new look. Not that sneaky dude you remember from Donkey Kong Country. Oh no, now he’s all about those happy vibes. Picture this: a big guy who’s just as into bananas as he is into supporting his buddy Pauline. She’s up there, maybe second-guessing herself, and then there’s DK, all wide-eyed and full of goofy love.

You know what? It’s kinda sweet. Pauline glances at him and bam! She’s breaking into song like she’s on Broadway. It’s that kind of friendship where you just feel so seen, so believed in. Makes you wish you had someone like that, right? Somebody whose belief in you is so darn simple and real. And there goes all the fear and embarrassment—just poof.

Iconic, that’s what it is. Seriously, having DK back like this, feels like he’s hit his groove. Anyway, where was I? Right, this is possibly—probably—his best game yet. Feels like a win, trust me.
