Donkey Kong Bananza receives rare early discount on Amazon

Donkey Kong Bananza has received a rare early price cut on Amazon, with the title listed at US$62.99 — roughly £50 — down US$7 from its original US$69.99 tag. The reduction represents approximately a 10% saving on the game’s suggested retail price.

Discounts on first‑party Nintendo releases are uncommon in the months immediately following launch, and this move marks one of the more notable early reductions for a recent Nintendo title. The game has been on sale for no more than six months, making the cut unusual by Nintendo’s typical pricing practices.

The reduction was spotted on Amazon’s US storefront. Equivalent price drops had not been widely reported across major UK retailers such as GAME, Smyths or Argos at the time of reporting, and Nintendo’s digital eShop prices often remain unchanged during such retailer promotions.

Retailers and marketplaces will be monitored for further price movement. The discount may be a short‑term promotional adjustment or an early sign of wider retailer competition, with potential implications for physical stock and bundled offers in the coming weeks.
