Donkey Kong Bananza is already cheaper at Costco
Today is Donkey Kong Bananza launch day, and what better way to celebrate than with a discount? The Nintendo Switch 2-exclusive game is currently $62.99 ($7 off) at Costco for members. Nintendo games rarely go on sale, even after several months on shelves, so any amount off the retail price is a big win on launch day. If you were on the fence about whether to get the game, let our review assuage any concerns. It rules. The Verge's Ash Parrish describes it as a 'fantastic feast.' The game offers satisfying punching mechanics, creative level design, and the unmistakable polish that most Nintendo games possess. Whereas Mario Kart World was a pretty good launch title, Donkey Kong Bananza is the Switch 2's first must-have game.

Life with the Nintendo Switch 2
The Nintendo Switch 2 is great. In many ways, it's exactly what we hoped for: a Switch, only better. And yet there's something… underwhelming about it. Maybe it's unfair, but we've come to expect Nintendo to consistently amaze us with either how its consoles work or the games you can play with them. In this case, it still feels like a Switch. Only better. And not universally better, either. On this episode of The Vergecast, now that a number of folks on our team have spent some real time with the Switch 2, it's time to talk about how we feel about this new console. First, The Verge 's Andrew Webster joins the show to talk through his review, from the controllers to the design to the game-changing games here and yet to come. Then, The Verge 's Ash Parrish tells us about her experiences traveling with the Switch 2, how her experience has compared to her first demos of the device, and the games she's been playing so far. Then we pivot a bit, and talk about the Xbox Ally X and Microsoft's own vision for handheld gaming. Finally, The Verge 's Sean Hollister helps us answer a question from the Vergecast Hotline (call 866-VERGE11 or email vergecast@ about the state of consoles. Everything in gaming seems more expensive than ever, and more expensive all the time; is it time for the console business to change?

A busy week of gaming news continues. One day after Epic's State of Unreal showcase, and just ahead of the Nintendo Switch 2 launch (and Summer Game Fest Live and the Xbox Games Showcase) Sony is getting in on the action with its latest State of Play stream, which was surprise-announced just a day ahead of time. There aren't a lot of details of what to expect. Sony says the event will last around 40 minutes, and will feature 'news and updates on must-play games coming to PS5' and include 'a selection of great games from creators across the globe.'

And now PlayStation will join the slate of summer programming with its own showcase on Twitch and YouTube starting at 5PM ET / 2PM PT.
