Donkey Kong Bananza confirms multiplayer co-op, GameShare support

During today’s Nintendo Direct presentation, Donkey Kong Bananza confirmed plans to support multiplayer co-op as well as GameShare.

In multiplayer, one person controls Donkey Kong while the other handles Pauline. Those playing as Pauline can unleash vocal blasts with mouse controls via the Joy-Con 2 controller and copy the material of nearby terrain.

With GameShare, you can play co-op even if only one person owns a copy of the game. The feature works where you can share the experience with a Nintendo Switch 1 owner via local play or online between Nintendo Switch 2 systems.

Donkey Kong Bananza will launch for Nintendo Switch 2 on July 17, 2025. A list of titles supporting GameShare can be found here.
