June 4: With Nintendo rolling out Switch 2, the company has confirmed that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Nintendo Switch Sports have issues on the new console. However, plans are already in place for patches.
For Smash Bros. Ultimate, an online match may end right away if a Switch 1 and Switch 2 player start a match with one person using a Mii Fighter, so it’s advised to avoid using the character currently.
