I wasn't expecting Donkey Kong Bananza news that'd make me grumpy this morning, but here we are. Nintendo just unveiled a fresh wave of DK-related merch based on the new game, and it looks fantastic.

Donkey Kong Bananza is already a hit before its release, based on numerous outstanding reviews of the game on the eve of its release.

Bananza comes from the same internal team at Nintendo that developed Super Mario Odyssey, which is exemplified by its storytelling that prioritizes charm and good vibes over lore and dialogue.
