5 Exciting Games We’re Eager to Play Again This Weekend

Oh man, where to even start? Okay, so, you can play this on Switch 2. That’s your stage, your playground, whatever you wanna call it. What’s next in line? Finding out what’s in the planet’s core — like, who even thinks of these things? Anyway — wait, hold on — let me talk about bananas. Yes, bananas. Donkey Kong Bananza has got this whole banana vibe going on, and honestly, it’s kind of hilarious.

So, picture this: destructible terrain, wild movements, those nifty powers that come with all your "bananza" transformations — it’s like a wild ride on a roller coaster that’s just out of control. And let’s not forget the real star — okay, maybe I’m getting ahead of myself, but Donkey Kong’s redesign is just… chef’s kiss.

He’s not like that clever, scheming guy from the Donkey Kong Country days. Nope. Now, he’s this lovable fella with, like, zero thoughts behind those big eyes — just pure excitement and unfiltered love. Love for bananas, yeah, but also for his buddy Pauline.

And you know, in those moments when Pauline’s feeling down, she just looks at DK’s face — all goofy and sweet — and BAM! Suddenly, she’s belting out tunes like nobody’s business. Isn’t that what everyone needs? A friend who sees us at our best, even when we’re at our worst. It’s like his bananas are magic or something, stripping away fear and doubt.

Seriously, what a legend. I’m just so pumped he’s back — and okay, here’s a bold statement — this might just be his best game ever. Carolyn Petit nailed it in saying that. But, who knows, maybe it’s just the bananas. Or maybe it’s everything. Who can tell?
