We’re Going Bananas for These Discounts on Donkey Kong and Other Games at Woot

According to CNET gaming expert Scott Stein, Donkey Kong Banaza is the best Switch game we’ve seen in years. However, you can expect it to be quite a while before we see any discounts on this brand-new Switch 2 exclusive, considering it hit shelves just last week.

But if you’re looking to explore some other titles in this iconic franchise, Woot’s massive video game sale is a great chance to add them to your library for less.

The online retailer is offering some serious savings for Nintendo, Xbox, PlayStation and PC gamers, with both new and refurbished games, controllers, headsets, keyboards and more available for up to 83% off. The sale officially runs through Aug. 1, but Woot typically has a limited selection, and items may sell out well before then. We wouldn’t wait too long if you’re hoping to take advantage of these savings.

If you’re hoping to round out your Donkey Kong collection, you can grab three different games for up to 33% off at this sale. Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is a 2D platformer inspired by the original NES games, and features more than 80 different levels across nine different worlds. It lists for $60, but you can save $17 and pick it up for just $43 right now. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is also on sale for $43, plus you can pick up Mario vs. Donkey Kong for $20 off, dropping the price down to $40.

Donkey Kong games aren’t the only thing on sale, either. There are also some exceptional savings available on games and accessories for PC, PlayStation and Xbox, like this wired Razer Wolverine V3 Xbox controller that’s now $30 off, dropping it down to just $70. Or level up your online gaming performance with this $90 HyperX CloudX wireless headset, which saves you $60 compared to the usual price. You’ve also got a rare chance to grab The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom on sale, with Woot currently offering a $13 discount on this top-rated Switch title.

Why these deals matter

Even older Nintendo games can be tough to find on sale, so a chance to multiple tons of titles from the iconic Donkey Kong franchise for less is an opportunity you won’t want to miss.

Plus, there are some massive discounts on a huge selection of other games and accessories, which makes this a great chance to update your Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox or PC gaming setup without breaking the bank.
