Donkey Kong Bananza preview! Pure Nintendo Podcast E120

This week on the Pure Nintendo Podcast, Jemma and Kirk delve into the latest Donkey Kong Bananza, which hits the Switch 2 this week.

Last week, we discussed the latest Mario Kart World update, which seems to have polarized fans. This week, we talk about the next big game from Nintendo in the form of Donkey Kong Bananza. This lovely looking title will be released on July 17, and Jemma even had some hands-on time with the game. What does she think so far?

We discuss our time with the Switch 2, which has been out for over a month now. How are we enjoying ths system? What more do we want? And will we see that rumored Nintendo Direct this month? We delve into what we think Nintendo might be planning next.

We also revisit our sports report from last week with the news that NBA 2K26 is heading to the Switch and Switch 2 this September. Plus there’s news of a new collection for JRPG fans, with Atelier Ryza Secret Trilogy DX coming to Switch 2 later this year.

Meanwhile, what are we playing this week? We delve into the motorcycle stylings of Moto GP 25 and compare the Switch and Switch 2 versions of Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma.
