Switch 2 Gamers Should Jump Back Into Donkey Kong Bananza Right Now

While many expected new downloadable content for Donkey Kong Bananza, the way it was released was unexpected. Nintendo announced and immediately launched the DK Island and Emerald Rush DLC during the September 2025 Nintendo Direct. Though some debated the $19.99 price, the DLC offered a new experience with Emerald Rush mode, which included roguelike elements and challenged players to gather gems against the clock. Successfully completing the mode allowed players to earn rewards from Void Kong. This addition has made the game more replayable, and Nintendo continues to support it with regular events.
