Switch 2 owners will soon have another big Nintendo game to play. Despite being below ground, the game takes place in a varied and diverse world, with beaches, mountains, and icy locales. Bananza also has a bonus mode where you can sculpt rocks using the Switch 2’s new mouse controls. It’s the second major first-party release for the console, following Mario Kart World, which launched alongside the new console. Bananza is the franchise’s first 3D platformer since the Nintendo 64 era, and is the first mainline entry since Tropical Freeze more than a decade ago.
