Donkey Kong Bananza for me! As much crap as DK64 gets for being a collect-a-thon, which even I'm guilty of criticizing it for at times, I still love that game to death. And it was saddening to be reminded of how long it's been since we've had a 3D DK game.

Returns and Tropical Freeze proved that the DK IP was still something special, and now he's getting the full force of Nintendo's internal teams to bring him back in the same vain of what Odyssey did for Mario and what Breath of the Wild did for Zelda! I really liked how expressive his new model is. I will say I wasn't initially entirely sold on the new game world since I'm so used to the DK Country games, but it's really grown on me, and the emphasis on the action and destructible environments makes me really excited to see what DK can do!

Honorable mentions being Mario Kart World and Kirby Air Riders.
