A new 2.0.8.0 update for Rivals of Aether has just gone live on Switch. Along with the Diamond Grove crossover stage skin, it also includes a ton of balance adjustments for the fighter’s various characters.
Below are the full patch notes for Rivals of Aether update 2.0.8.0:
As part of the new version 13.0.0 firmware for Switch, Nintendo is offering the latest controller update. It can be done by accessing the system settings, going to the “Controllers and Sensors” tab, and then selecting the “Update Controllers” option. Note that if multiple controllers are paired to your Switch, the firmware will be updated one controller at a time.
Strangely enough, we’ve never actually received clarification from Nintendo as to what the Switch controller update actually does. There’s really no harm in doing so though and the whole process only takes a few seconds.
