Update []:
In addition to the new Donkey Kong design detailed in our original post, multiple Switch icons have been given a slight makeover for the latest firmware update.
Some are more subtle than others, but with Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Yoshi in particular, the change is perhaps more apparent, bringing a more modernised look to the characters.
The below post from OatmealDome highlights the changes in more detail, so check it out and let us know which one you think has been given the best revamp:
Original Story: In case you somehow missed it, Donkey Kong has been given a new design in his upcoming Switch 2 release Donkey Kong Bananza.
As part of this, Nintendo has slowly been updating DK assets, artwork, and merch, and now in another development, it’s rolled out a new icon for the character based on his appearance in his new Switch 2 game as well as Mario Kart World.
Here’s a look at this new icon which actually replaces an old one, courtesy of Zelda Universe on social media:
If you want to make this new DK icon your avatar on the Switch, you’ll need to update your system to Version 20.0.0. You can do this by entering the system settings and performing the update from there.
This latest update also adds some icons to the Switch HOME Menu and changes the colours of select icons. Along with this, the update adds Virtual Game Cards, GameShare and the ability to “System Transfer to Nintendo Switch 2”. You can find out more in our latest post:
