Donkey Kong's first new game since 2014 has revitalized one of Nintendo's most recognizable characters with a new installment.

And while Bananza ’s connection to recent Mario games like Super Mario Odyssey are made clear, there are still important unknowns to address — like how does Bananza connect, if at all, to the events of the Donkey Kong Country games and, more importantly, is this even worth expending brainpower on?

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.
