It's official: Donkey Kong Bananza is the best-selling game on Amazon right now. Considering the wild popularity of the Switch 2, it only feels right that this highly anticipated game has been climbing Amazon's best seller charts.
At the time of publication, the game sits at 11th on the official Amazon chart, the highest of any single game currently, followed closely by the critically acclaimed Clair Obscur Expedition 33 (PS5), and only behind the usual mainstays of various Roblox, PlayStation, and Xbox gift cards.
Another Switch 2 product joining DK on the top sellers list is an affordable third-party screen protector set for Nintendo Switch 2, currently listed for just $8.99, and $4 off its $12.99 list price.
With Donkey Kong Banaza's July 17 release date on the horizon as well, Amazon recently opened up preorders for the game after breaking its long-standing freeze-out with Nintendo of America, and began listing first-party Nintendo games once again.
While the Switch 2 console is yet to be made available to purchase officially via the online retailer, this may signal that stock will become available in the near future.
The game itself isn't the only Donkey Kong-related item up for preorder right now, either. An adorable amiibo featuring the new duo of Donkey Kong and Pauline is also available to preorder. This is set to release on July 17 as well, so you can have both items ready to go on release day.
Our first hands-on preview of Donkey Kong Bananza found quite a lot to be excited about, too. IGN's Logan Plant said of the game that, "if you were disappointed the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct lacked a big, flashy 3D Mario, I'm here to tell you that Donkey Kong Bananza feels like the sequel to that formula we’ve been clamoring for, it just happens to star the giant monkey instead."
That means, if you're a Nintendo Switch 2 owner who is yet to place their order for DK's next adventure (alongside a young Pauline), now is the time to do it.
