Super Smash Bros. Ultimate – version 1.2.1 out now
Posted on 5 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch | 0 comments
A new update is now available for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, which brings the game up to version 1.2.1. This is a rather small update, however the patch notes are pretty vague, only stating that “Several issues have been fixed to improve gameplay experience”. Based on the formatting for the previous patch notes, it seems like no individual characters received any changes in this patch. As such, replays are compatible with the previous version, 1.2.0. However, version 1.2.1 is required for online and local wireless multiplayer.
