Update: Nintendo’s single note about the update: “Adjustments have been made to make for a more pleasant gaming experience.” We’ll probably need for an outlet such as Digital Foundry to conduct tests to see if the frame rate has truly been improved, and how much.
Original: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild players now have access to a new patch. Previously, the game was at version 1.1.0. After applying the update, it will be at 1.1.1.
Nintendo has yet to provide any update notes for today’s download. Given the small change in versions, it’s likely nothing too substantial, though some say that the frame rate has been improved. We’ll let you know when we have official details about the patch.
Thanks to Pokeboy990 and Brian for the tip.
GameXplain recently released a video in which they test if the Switch will download games faster in Sleep Mode. While some complications arose in figuring out just when the data had actually finished downloading, the results seem to show games being downloaded about 15% faster in Sleep Mode compared to the consoles normal state.
While not a massive increase in download speed, it’s sure to be of use down the line to some Switch owners. You can check out the video for yourself below.
More footage from Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia has shown up. You can check out all of the videos below.
Zelda: Breath of the Wild has one enemy in particular that puts up a significant challenge. We don’t want to name any names in the introduction here, but if you’ve played the game, you probably know who we’re talking about. It’s definitely not a common enemy like the Bokoblins.
Players are finding all sorts of ways of taking down the enemy type. We’re talking a boulder, pot lid and a soup ladle, and more. Continue on below for videos showing the inventive ways of battling the enemy.
