Nintendo Switch 2 Update: Enhancements for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and More
Nintendo has recently released an important system update for the Switch 2, bringing a much-anticipated boost in backwards compatibility for several titles, including the beloved Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. This update addresses a notable issue involving the Mii Fighter, ensuring a smoother gaming experience for players.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: Key Fixes for Mii Fighter
With the latest firmware update rolled out by Nintendo, players can now enjoy a seamless online experience with the Mii Fighter in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Thanks to community feedback, particularly from user ‘Polley001’, Nintendo was alerted to the problem where online matches would abruptly end when a Nintendo Switch 2 player faced off against a Nintendo Switch player using a Mii Fighter.
Nintendo confirmed the resolution on the game’s eShop page, indicating that while game progression might be influenced in certain segments, overall compatibility has been enhanced as of June 19, 2025.
Ongoing Issues and Future Updates
Despite addressing the immediate concerns, there are still minor visual glitches regarding the Mii Fighter thumbnail images during creation or editing. Players may need to save their creations again to refresh the thumbnail. Nintendo plans to implement a comprehensive fix for this issue shortly.
Nintendo Switch Sports: Consistent Performance
In addition to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the update also improved the performance of Nintendo Switch Sports. Prior issues affecting the frame rate during football matches in the Play Globally mode have been identified and fixed, ensuring a smoother gameplay experience.
As stated on its eShop page, all previously reported concerns have been addressed, marking another step forward in enhancing the compatibility of games on the new system.
Additional Game Improvements
Nintendo’s commitment to improving the gaming experience extends beyond first-party titles. The recent update also positively impacted several third-party games. Titles such as Capcom Fighting Collection 2 and Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection have seen “previously identified issues resolved,” according to reports from players. The enhancements were felt immediately, especially in online matches of the second fighting collection.
Moreover, other popular games like Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater and Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy have benefited from the system update, ensuring that players can enjoy their favorite titles without unwanted interruptions.
Looking Ahead: Further Improvements
Nintendo is continually refining the Switch 2 experience. Should any new updates for other significant games arise, players can expect timely announcements. Have you tested out Super Smash Bros.
