Donkey Kong Tops Amazon Best-Sellers

Donkey Kong Bananza

Release Date: July 17
$69.99 at Amazon

Donkey Kong Bananza has officially claimed the top spot as Amazon's best-selling game. Given the overwhelming anticipation surrounding the Switch 2, it's no surprise this blockbuster title is dominating the charts.

Currently ranking at #11 on Amazon's overall best-seller list, Donkey Kong Bananza holds the highest position among individual game titles, surpassing critical darling Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (PS5) and trailing only behind perennial best-sellers like various Roblox, PlayStation, and Xbox gift cards.

The Nintendo Switch 2 ecosystem is making waves beyond just software - an affordable third-party screen protector bundle has joined DK Bananza among Amazon's top sellers. Currently priced at just $8.99 (marked down from $12.99), this practical accessory proves gamers are preparing their setups ahead of the launch.

Amazon recently resumed Nintendo game preorders after resolving its longstanding retail dispute with Nintendo of America. While the Switch 2 console itself remains unavailable through the retailer, this development suggests official console stock may soon follow.

For Donkey Kong enthusiasts, additional collectibles are also up for grabs. A charming amiibo featuring Donkey Kong and Pauline launches alongside the game on July 17, allowing fans to synchronized their purchase with the game's release.

Early impressions of Donkey Kong Bananza have been overwhelmingly positive. IGN's Logan Plant praised the title, stating: "For those missing a major 3D Mario announcement during the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, Donkey Kong Bananza delivers that same thrilling platforming magic - just starring our favorite giant ape instead."

Switch 2 owners who haven't yet secured their copy of DK's latest adventure have limited time before its July 17 launch. For those building their accessory collection, our comprehensive Nintendo Switch 2 deals guide highlights discounts on essential items like protective cases and screen covers.
