Nogami noted how Animal Crossing: New Horizons is an online game, and cheating is a concern with such titles.

A few hours ago, Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield were updated to version 1.1.1. While Nintendo said it simply addressed a number of issues to improve the gameplay experience, the patch is actually more significant than the vague statement implies.
