As part of the release of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch-2\/donkey-kong-bananza-dk-island-and-emerald-rush\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">DK Island &amp; Emerald Rush<\/a>, Nintendo has also bumped the base game up to Version 2.0.0.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve got the full patch notes here, which go into a little more detail about the changes. This is the second update for the title, which also makes &#8220;several other changes&#8221; to improve the overall gameplay experience. Here&#8217;s the rundown:<\/p>\n<p>Latest update: Ver. 2.0.0 (Released September 12, 2025)<\/p>\n<p><strong>General<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Added support for the paid DLC DK Island &amp; Emerald Rush.\n<ul>\n<li>If you have not cleared the main game yet, you can go to DK Island by talking to Squawks at the Racing Layer.<\/li>\n<li>If you have cleared the main game, you can go to DK Island by striking the Warp Gong after hearing about the \u201cBananza Rehearsal\u201d from the Elder.<\/li>\n<li>After reaching DK Island, you can play Emerald Rush by talking to Void Kong.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>The number of Banandium Chips that can be stored has been increased from 9,999 to 99,999.<\/li>\n<li>Several other changes have been made and issues addressed to improve the gameplay experience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As mentioned, even if you haven&#8217;t cleared the &#8220;main game&#8221; just yet, you can still go to this island by interacting with Squawks on the Racing Layer. Of course, it&#8217;s paid content, so you&#8217;ll need to fork out $19.99 \/ \u00a316.99 (or your regional equivalent) before you can access it.<\/p>\n<p>And if you are still unsure about this game, there&#8217;s now a Switch 2 demo you can download from the Nintendo eShop.<\/p>\n<p>Will you be checking out the new DLC for Donkey Kong Bananza this weekend?
