Pre-orders are now live for Nintendo’s new Star Fox and Donkey Kong Bananza plushies, with retailers including VGP and Play-Asia offering shipping to the U.S. and other markets.
Four Star Fox designs lead the release — Fox McCloud, Peppy Hare, Falco Lombardi and Slippy Toad — after initially being announced only for Japan.
Sanei is also rolling out Donkey Kong items, including a Donkey Kong plush with a banana keychain and another plush featuring Donkey Kong and Pauline.
The merchandise push follows Nintendo’s announcement a day earlier of a new Star Fox game for Switch 2, which is due next month.
