After The Game Awards last week, IGN spoke with Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime. One of the topics discussed is Nintendo’s commitment to E3 and why it’s so important.
Speaking about why E3 is a priority for Nintendo, Reggie stated:

A year after its last update, Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack has received a new patch. All players can access version 1.5.

It’s also possible for 2-4 Switch consoles to connect via local wireless and play together over a short distance without the need for a Nintendo Switch Online account.
