Donkey Kong Bananza is already cheaper at Costco

Today is Donkey Kong Bananza launch day, and what better way to celebrate than with a discount? The Nintendo Switch 2-exclusive game is currently $62.99 ($7 off) at Costco for members. Nintendo games rarely go on sale, even after several months on shelves, so any amount off the retail price is a big win on launch day.

If you were on the fence about whether to get the game, let our review assuage any concerns. It rules. The Verge’s Ash Parrish describes it as a “fantastic feast.” The game offers satisfying punching mechanics, creative level design, and the unmistakable polish that most Nintendo games possess. Whereas Mario Kart World was a pretty good launch title, Donkey Kong Bananza is the Switch 2’s first must-have game.
