Nintendo has released a new update for Donkey Kong Bananza on the Switch 2, bumping it up to Version 3.0.0.

This is the first update since October. This one adds Thai as a supported language and you now also have the ability to set the camera's automatic tracking to 'on' or 'off' in the options menu. Last of all are "several other changes" to improve the overall experience.

Here are the full patch notes, courtesy of Nintendo's official support page. And if we find out about anything else going on with this latest update, we'll let you know.
