Donkey Kong Bananza Direct to stream on 18 June

Mark those calendars!

Nintendo is hyping up the release of its second major Switch 2 game with a Donkey Kong Bananza Direct that will air late tomorrow night.

Aussies can mark their calendars for 11.00 pm AEST (check your timezone here) tomorrow, 18 June. The show will last for a short 15 minutes and will be available on the Nintendo Direct website or the Nintendo AU YouTube channel.

We’ve also embedded the show for you below.

“Get ready for Donkey Kong Bananza, a brand-new 3D platforming action adventure – available exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2,” Nintendo said back at the game’s announcement in April. “Crash, bash, and climb through nearly everything in DK’s path and tear off chunks of terrain to swing around and throw in groundbreaking exploration.”

Expect Donkey Kong Bananza on Switch 2 from 17 July.

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
