Donkey Kong Bananza 3.0.0 update out now, patch notes

Nintendo has just begun distributing a new update for Donkey Kong Bananza, bringing the game to version 3.0.0. This update introduces several notable additions to enhance the player experience.

One of the main features of this update is the addition of Thai as a supported language. Players who set their Nintendo Switch 2 system language to “Thai/English” will see the in-game text displayed in Thai, while the audio remains in English.

Another key update is the inclusion of a new “Camera’s automatic tracking” option in the Pause Menu. Players can now toggle this feature ON or OFF according to their preference, providing greater control over the gameplay experience.

Beyond these highlights, several other changes and bug fixes have been implemented to improve overall gameplay performance and stability.

Donkey Kong Bananza is currently available exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2.

For reference, patch notes for previous updates can be found here, here, here, and here.

Evening Reading – November 4, 2025

Welcome, Shackers, to the end of another Tuesday! It’s been a spicy day here at Shacknews. We kicked things off with the launch of our **Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment** review, accompanied by a wealth of new videos. Get ready for all that goodness and more in this week’s edition of *This Week in Switch 2*!

You can also look forward to plenty of other coverage as we tie up loose ends and close out the year. But for now, it’s time to wrap up the day with a fresh edition of **Evening Reading** — in case you missed it on Shacknews.

### Nintendo Boss Theme Spotlight
Today’s highlight is the boss theme for *The Underking*: an undead lord of the dwarves resting on his opulent throne in the grave that is his kingdom. Pretty good, right? And if you’re a fan, get ready for *New Horizons 3.0* — Dave New Blood is ready, are you?

### Mario’s Ready for the Holidays!
Mario is gearing up to fly high at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Yahoo! It’s that festive time of year, and Mario is bringing the holiday spirit.

### Rejected MLB Slugfest Lines
Still craving some baseball? We uncovered a CD in our archives containing dozens of unused voice lines from *MLB Slugfest 20-03* that were rejected by the MLB. Here are some of our favorites:

One standout line about a clown catching on fire truly slayed us!

### Video Game History Throwback
It’s been quite a while since the original *Mike Tyson Mysteries* game came out on the N64. Miss those days? Us too. Poor Bobby Fischer — forced to play chess for IBM and robot Thomas Watson like a champ!

### Upcoming Battles
It’s almost time. A war awaits. Will you fight for the good King Rauru? (It’s a pretty sweet gig, if you ask us.)

And there you have it, Shackers! That’s your **Evening Reading** for November 4, 2025. We hope you stick around to see what’s ahead. If you’d like to help keep Shacknews going, consider supporting us via **Shacknews Mercury**.

### Free Interactive Map Service: Shackmaps
You don’t need to donate to use **Shackmaps**, our free interactive map service covering your favorite games. We already have *Mario Kart World* and *Atomfall* available, with more coming soon!

### Browser Fun: Bubbletron
Need a little browser fun? Check out **Bubbletron**, where you can run the gambit of random prompts to try assembling the best — or worst — start-up business ever.

Thank you for staying tuned to Shacknews. Have a good night, and we’ll catch you in the morning with more news and features!
