Donkey Kong Bananza secret boss battle

Donkey Kong Bananza’s DK Island + Emerald Rush DLC dropped a few days ago, and there’s more to it than meets the eye – but only a little bit more. As it turns out, there’s a secret boss fight hidden within the DLC that takes more than a couple of hours to unlock. Once you do, it’s surprisingly tough, and we’ve put together a guide on how to unlock this hidden boss battle and some tips on how to clear it. As a heads up, you can expect the game’s performance to dip during this fight – in our experience, things went below 30 frames per second more than a few times. As usual, there are spoilers within, so only continue if you’re okay with knowing who the secret boss is.

Hollow Knight Silksong update 2

Team Cherry has announced a second update for Hollow Knight: Silksong. It’s not available on Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch yet, but it should be soon.

Unlike the last patch which included gameplay adjustments – notably for bosses – there’s none of that to speak of here. This time around, Team Cherry is mostly focusing on bug fixes.

The full rundown is as follows:

Raidou Remastered 1.10 update

Star Wars Outlaws review

System: Switch 2
Release date: September 4, 2025
Developer: Massive Entertainment
Publisher: Ubisoft

Star Wars Outlaws may not have met Ubisoft’s sales expectations when it first released on other platforms last year, but for many fans of the franchise, it’s a dream game all the same. There are plenty of titles based on the IP where you can play as a lightsaber-wielding hero, but Outlaws pursues a different goal: making the player feel like a bounty hunter in a seedy, unsafe part of the Galaxy where trust comes at a premium and everyone wants to kill you. It’s also a very ambitious game for a device like Switch 2, so I was excited to see how the game would play on Nintendo’s new console after a year’s worth of updates and new content.

Annapurna Interactive and Light Brick Studio put out a launch trailer for LEGO Voyagers Journey. The game, a co-op adventure title, comes from the same team as LEGO Builder’s Journey.

Here’s an overview of the game:

Donkey Kong Bananza DK Island Emerald Rush Review

System: Switch 2
Release date: September 12, 2025
Developer: Nintendo
Publisher: Nintendo

All things considered, it seems safe to say that fans don’t appreciate Nintendo’s price antics lately. The recent Nintendo Direct confirmed the most expensive amiibo of all time, a $70 Super Mario Galaxy collection, and now a $20 Donkey Kong Bananza DLC two months after launch. That’s not inherently a problem – Bananza was in development for quite some time, given that it started out as a Switch 1 game. That said, the Nintendo Direct doesn’t do a very good job of telling you what the DLC actually is. From the previews, you would think DK Island is Donkey Kong Bananza’s version of the Mushroom Kingdom. And in many ways, it is – but it doesn’t have any Banandium Gems or fossils, nor any collectibles other than new outfits tied to the titular Emerald Rush mode. In other words, DK Island is essentially a big, pretty set piece – it’s nice to look at and fun to explore for a few minutes, but there’s not really anything of substance within.
