Nintendo has fixed the issues players were facing when trying to play Pikmin 3 Deluxe on Switch 2.

Despite being what many scholars consider to be a banger, Nintendo hasn't really thrown much of a bone to the Pikmin series on Switch 2. None of the four available Nintendo Switch Pikmin titles were on the list of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:free updates, nor are we currently planned to get a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition release of Pikmin 4 (despite mouse controls being such an obvious inclusion of the series). In fact, the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo♌ Switch 2 ma🦩de Pikmin 3 worse thanks to a prevalentও screen flickering issue, crashing, and other visual bugs.

considering Nintendo's patc🦋h notes are usually extremely vague. They read: "Fixed an issue that occurs when playing on Nintendo Switch 2 where the entire screen ꦛwill briefly turn off and on again in several scenes of the game, such as at the beginning and end of a day."

However, never one to be fully direct, Nintendo hit also us with a classic "several adjustments have been made to ༒i𒈔mprove gameplay on Nintendo Switch 2."

The screen flickering patch note is pretty directꦦ, but presumably the second one is in reference to the other litany of issues seen when playing the game on Switch 2. I booted up the game for about 10 minutes to see if the issues had been alleviated, and from what I played it was running perfectly on Switch 2.

Nintendo has warned that the demo version of Pikmin 3 Deluxe has not been spared of these issues just yet, however but affirms that "we pla🌃n to perform the same fix as the full game in a futu🌌re update."

As Donkey Kong Bananza reveals full-blown voice acting, Pokemon fans are wondering when they will be spared from the awkward silences.
