Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
The 2019 Switch game Super Mario Maker 2 has been given a new version 3.0.2 update. All players can download it now.
Like the new update that just went out for Splatoon 2, the patch notes for Super Mario Maker 2 are keeping things simple. Nintendo only states: “Several issues have been addressed to improve the gameplay experience.” The fact that a couple of Nintendo’s older titles were updated at the same time suggests that something more is going on here, but the Big N doesn’t want to elaborate.
