Nintendo Switch 2 Fixes One of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s Most Annoying Problems

The upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 boasts several enhancements to games initially launched on the original Nintendo Switch, such as “Super Smash Bros. Ultimate”. Although the game generally performs better, there’s a significant improvement addressing one major annoyance that frequently affected the game. Now, in both online and offline play modes, players will notice an immediate change when switching between characters, as all alternate costumes will instantly appear without delay.

In the game “Super Smash Bros. Ultimate” on the Nintendo Switch, choosing a character instantly shows it. But when you choose an alternate costume, there’s a brief delay. It’s been found that one of the unspoken benefits of the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 is a noticeably faster load time for this feature.

The issue tended to arise more often with characters listed towards the bottom of the roster. Usually, the top row loaded swiftly, but upon choosing a character midway or at the end, such as Incineroar or Sephiroth, players would initially see an empty slot before the game correctly displayed the alternate costume (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate).

Although it might appear insignificant, the minor delays in character and costume selection for each match can become quite irritating over time. To avoid this inconvenience, players would memorize the location of their preferred alternate costumes and press the required button repeatedly. However, with this latest update, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate no longer suffers from this issue on Nintendo’s new hardware.

For those excited about Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, it’s essential to note a hiccup concerning Mii Fighters in online matches. Choosing one might lead the game to abruptly finish. In light of this issue, players are encouraged to abstain from selecting these characters until Nintendo issues a fix in the form of a patch.
