Azure Striker Gunvolt 3 has a save data-corrupting bug
Posted on 2 years ago by Nicolas in News, Switch | 0 comments
Azure Striker Gunvolt 3 recently released on Switch to pretty positive reception. Unfortunately, a bug capable of corrupting save data has been found in the game.
The bug does seem relatively uncommon at least. For it to trigger, you’d need to delete a save file from the file select screen, then change your settings or language options from the title screen. Then, starting a new game in that deleted slot and either saving manually or auto-saving will corrupt that save slot.
Thankfully, Inti Creates is aware of this issue and is working to resolve it. Here is a statement from them detailing the issue and how to avoid it:

Reggie says a Nintendo / Xbox / PlayStation adaptive controller was in the works, unsure if it’s still in development

Accessibility has become a more prominent topic in the gaming industry, and we’ve seen Microsoft in particular make a push with initiatives like its adaptive controller. Interestingly, there were plans – at least at one point – for a new kind of controller that would work across Nintendo, Xbox, and PlayStation hardware.
Former Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime shared that news in an interview with Inverse. He said the Xbox adaptive controller was being used “as a jumping-off point to create something that would be platform-agnostic and adaptable by any consumer.” The Nintendo / Xbox / PlayStation controller was happening three years ago, though Reggie isn’t sure if it’s still in development.

Nintendo has started to face some controversy with its employees this year. Back in April, one staffer claimed that their right to unionize was violated and this person filed a complaint with National Labor Relations Board. That was actually followed up a second labor complaint earlier this month against Nintendo and contracting company Ashton Carter. Kotaku now has a story up regarding sexual harassment.
It’s a pretty noteworthy read and we do recommend you giving it a look here. However, we’ve rounded up some of the more notable points below.
