Nintendo Adds 26 Classic Soundtracks Including Donkey Kong to Music Service

Nintendo has expanded its Nintendo Music app by adding 26 classic NES soundtracks, including Donkey Kong and Mario Bros., increasing the total available albums significantly for subscribers who can also create custom playlists and listen offline. While fans appreciate these retro additions, there is some disappointment that newer soundtracks from Switch 2 titles like Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza have not yet been prioritized. Donkey Kong Bananza, a recent Nintendo Switch 2 game, receives praise for its engaging gameplay elements such as the collection of Banandium Gems and varied boss fights, although some bosses are considered too easy. The game features challenging segments in its later stages, especially boss battles like Inflammonite and Muckety-Muck, which require players to use strategy and skill points to succeed. Quiztone, a recurring character in Donkey Kong Bananza, adds an additional layer of challenge by requiring players to answer quizzes to earn Banandium Gems, with answers compiled online to assist players. Overall, Donkey Kong Bananza is regarded as a strong entry on the Switch 2 platform, with some players debating its ranking among Nintendo games of this era.
