Donkey Kong Bananza Leads Amazon Sales

It's official: Donkey Kong Bananza currently leads as Amazon's top-selling game. With the Nintendo Switch 2's overwhelming popularity, it's no surprise this highly anticipated title has dominated the charts.

At press time, the game ranks 11th on Amazon's overall bestsellers list - the highest position for any standalone game - trailing behind perennial favorites like Roblox and PlayStation gift cards but outperforming acclaimed titles like Clair Obscur Expedition 33 (PS5).

Release Date: July 17
$69.99 at Amazon

Joining DK on the bestsellers list is a budget-friendly third-party screen protector for Switch 2, now discounted to $8.99 (regularly $12.99).

Following Amazon's recent reconciliation with Nintendo of America after their prolonged dispute, the retailer has resumed listing first-party Nintendo games - including newly opened preorders for Donkey Kong Bananza ahead of its July 17 launch.

While the Switch 2 console itself remains unavailable on Amazon, this development suggests inventory might arrive soon.

Gamers can also preorder an adorable newly designed amiibo featuring Donkey Kong and Pauline, synchronized to release alongside the game on July 17.

IGN's hands-on previews praise Donkey Kong Bananza as delivering the expansive 3D platforming experience Mario fans have been craving, albeit starring Nintendo's iconic ape. Editor Logan Plant noted: "This feels like the evolution of that beloved formula we've been waiting for."

With glowing early impressions and limited preorder availability, Switch 2 owners should secure their copies now for DK's latest adventure featuring young Pauline.
