Compatibility Issues in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on Nintendo Switch 2

It’s a significant day for everyone who has successfully acquired their Nintendo Switch 2. However, few hardware launches go off without a hitch. In addition to some surprising hidden costs related to the completion of the Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour, players have also discovered a compatibility problem in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Details of the Compatibility Issue

The conditions for this issue to occur appear to be quite narrow. It arises during online matches of the fighting game when one player is using a Switch 1 and the other is on a Switch 2. If one of the players selects the Mii Fighters as their character, the match may end abruptly. Additionally, thumbnails for the Mii Fighters, which are customizable for each player, are not always saving correctly.

Nintendo’s Response

Nintendo is aware of the problem, according to a translation posted on X by user OatmealDome. The gaming company has stated that an update addressing this Smash compatibility issue will be released “soon,” although no specific date has been provided. Therefore, if you plan to spend launch day with your Switch 2 playing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, it is advisable to avoid selecting Mii Fighters.

Conclusion

As the gaming community eagerly embraces the new Nintendo Switch 2, it is essential to stay informed about any compatibility issues that may arise. Players are encouraged to monitor updates from Nintendo regarding this situation to ensure a smooth gaming experience.
