Nintendo addresses an online bug in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, while Minecraft revises Minecoins usage on Nintendo devices.
In a relatively quiet week for Nintendo news, two stories stand out: a minor update for an old favorite and changes affecting Minecraft players on the Switch.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Receives Minor Update
Nintendo has released Version 13.0.5 for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, marking its first update in over a year. According to My Nintendo News, this update focuses on fixing an online bug across both the original and newer Nintendo Switch consoles. While many players hoped for enhancements to take advantage of the Nintendo Switch 2’s capabilities, this update doesn’t deliver on that front, instead providing necessary maintenance for ongoing playability.
Minecraft Adjusts Minecoins Policy on Nintendo Devices
Meanwhile, changes are underway in the blocky world of Minecraft. As reported by Nintendo Life, Minecoins acquired on Nintendo platforms will be restricted to use solely on the Nintendo Switch and upcoming Switch 2. This policy alteration comes as the game prepares for its launch on the new console generation in October, potentially affecting players who utilize cross-play features across different platforms.
