Donkey Kong Bananza
A Nintendo Switch 2 title featuring Donkey Kong, utilizing Nintendo EPD's engine and NVN2 graphics for 3D environment exploration including mining tunnels and forest areas.
An experimental unofficial Mac port via NxNative has upstream-reported Mac testing. Testing covers the opening areas, mining tunnel, and tutorial movies through scripted 15,900 frame runs and manual five-minute sessions on Apple Silicon Mac. Full game reliability is unverified as testing is limited to the first level. Periodic frame rate drops from 60 to 30 fps occur in busy scenes, and some translation stalls remain unresolved. Requires Apple silicon and macOS 26.6 or later. Not an official Mac release.
