More Donkey Kong Bananza In-Store Demos Are Releasing Next Week

We’re now less than a week out from the arrival of Donkey Kong Bananza and Nintendo has announced it’s releasing more playable demos into the wild.

If you happen to be located in Canada, Nintendo of Canada has revealed there will be playable demos of the new game at select EB Games and Costco stores. You’ll be able to go ‘hands on’ with DK’s new outing between 18th – 19th July at Costco Canada, and you can experience the new game at EB Games Canada between 19th – 20th July.

Here’s some PR, and below this are the locations this demo will be available at:

Explore a vast underground world—by smashing your way through it!

Bash through just about anything with the raw power of Donkey Kong! Crash through walls, carve tunnels with your fists, punch straight down into the ground, and even tear off chunks of terrain to swing around and throw in groundbreaking exploration—the more you smash, the more areas open up for you to move through.

Join DK and his companion, Pauline, as they delve deep underground—and discover that this subterranean world is a lot more than it seems on the surface. Uncover a variety of environments such as arid canyons, lush forests, and frigid tundra as you peel back the world’s layers!
