It’s been an exciting month for Nintendo already, but the global gaming brand isn’t done yet. The global media brand revealed it will hold a Donkey Kong-centered Direct presentation on Wednesday, June 18. Nintendo utilized its Nintendo Today! app to make the announcement, saying the Direct will begin at 6 a.m. PT/9 a.m. ET and will run for about 15 minutes.
“Tune in on Wednesday, June 18, for a livestreamed Donkey Kong Bananza Direct 6.18.2025 presentation, featuring roughly 15 minutes of information about the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 game,” reads the news alert. The in-app update then provides a link allowing users to register the event in their phone’s calendar.
The tie-donning Kong is the star of next month’s anticipated 3D platformer, Donkey Kong Bananza, announced the revolutionary title during its Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation on April 2. Bananza is slated for release on Thursday, July 17, 2025 — precisely one month from today.
Bananza is the Nintendo icon’s first major release since Donkey Kong Country: Topical Freeze was released in 2014, and the character’s first 3D platformer since Donkey Kong 64 arrived on the Nintendo 64 in 1999.
