Nintendo adds Polish language support but remains quiet on other fixes
Donkey Kong Bananza has received a new update today, bringing the game to version 3.1.0. While the patch introduces an additional language option, Nintendo has been notably vague about the rest of the changes.
According to the official patch notes, Polish language support has been added. When the Nintendo Switch 2 system language is set to “Polish/English,” in-game text will now display in Polish, while audio remains in English.
Beyond that, the update simply states that “several other issues have been addressed to improve the gameplay experience,” without offering any specifics on what those fixes entail. As is often the case with smaller Nintendo updates, it’s unclear whether these changes address performance issues, bugs, or minor gameplay tweaks. If we uncover anything notable through testing or community reports, we’ll be sure to update you.
