Following last month’s release of Pok\u00e9mon<\/strong> XD: Gale of Darkness<\/a> for the Switch Online GameCube library, Nintendo has now updated this app again.<\/p>\n

This bumps it up to Version 1.6.1<\/strong> and apparently comes with a helpful bug fix for the same title after reports of game crashes, resulting in players losing save data (thanks for the heads up, Nintendo Everything<\/a>).<\/p>\n

This fix for Pok\u00e9mon XD is the only notable change discovered so far in Version 1.6.1, but if there are any other significant updates, we’ll let you know. If your app doesn’t automatically download this update, you can manually download it by pressing the + button on the Switch 2 controller and selecting “Software Update”.<\/p>\n

If you haven’t already tried out Pok\u00e9mon XD: Gale of Darkness on Nintendo’s paid subscription service, here’s a bit about it and another look:<\/p>\n

“Using Shadow Pok\u00e9mon, an evil organization has unleashed a sinister plot of world domination. With Eevee as your companion, and with the help of numerous friends along the way, you must fight against terrible foes and race against time to snag and purify the Shadow Pok\u00e9mon and save the world!”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
