Overview
- Nintendo updated its GameCube app on Switch 2 to version 1.6.1, and Nintendo Life reports the patch includes a fix for Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.
- Players had reported crashes in Pokémon XD that led to lost save data, prompting concern about progress being wiped mid-play.
- Early notes from coverage indicate the Pokémon XD fix is the only change identified so far, with outlets watching for any other tweaks.
- Users can trigger the download manually by pressing the plus button on a Switch 2 controller and selecting Software Update.
- Pokémon XD was added to the Nintendo Switch Online GameCube library last month for Expansion Pack subscribers, and the port does not connect to Pokémon Home for transfers.
