Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Nintendo Switch 2 journey isn't going too smoothly as Nintendo asks "please avoid using Mii Fighter in online play as much as possible"

Nintendo Switch 2 has a ton of free updates available for existing Switch games, with a bunch of first-party Nintendo games getting the rub (especially Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, which desperately needed it). While Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is among the games that run better, it comes with an unexpected downgrade. Twitter user OatmealDome noticed on the US Eshop page for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate that the game is listed as "Supported – Game progression may be affected in portions of the game" for Switch 2. When you look for more info, it turns out there's not a progression issue; it's actually just that Mii Fighters are not working as they should. On the store it says, "In online play, when a Switch 2 player and Switch player have been matched, if someone is using Mii Fighter, the match may end immediately," and because of this Nintendo asks that players "please avoid using Mii Fighter in online play as much as possible." So while Mii Fighters do still work online on Switch 2, it's only if you face someone else playing on the new system. Not only are Mii Fighters having trouble in online crossplay, but Nintendo also notes, "When creating or editing and saving a Mii Fighter, the thumbnail image showing the Mii Fighter may not appear correctly." With the solution being a simple "This may be improved by saving it again." Nintendo hasn't explained why this happened, although it could be a compatibility issue stemming from the fact that Mii characters are now genderless on Switch 2, I don't know why that would matter when the gender doesn't matter in Smash, but that could have caused the issue. Regardless, Nintendo says that "This is planned to be fixed in the near future," so you can have your Hank Hill vs Sans Undertale brawls online once more. Street Fighter 6 sees Capcom follow the road Nintendo abandoned in Animal Crossing by adding a collection of stone-cold NES bangers.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate gets Switch 2 upgrade but there's a problem
A Switch 2 ruckus (Nintendo) Nintendo has issued a warning for online play in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on the Switch 2, although there are some benefits to playing on the new console. One of the best features of the Nintendo Switch 2 is the amount of original Switch games which have received upgrades, ranging from paid-for overhauls in Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom to free improvements in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. However, as highlighted by Nintendo prior to the Switch 2's launch, not every game has had a smooth transition between consoles, with titles like Ring Fit Adventure, 1-2-Switch, and WarioWare: Move It! coming with some caveats when played on the new system. While these titles have understandable issues connected to the lack of IR motion camera in the Switch 2 Joy-Con, one title which has encountered a bizarre problem is Super Smash Bros. Ultimate – and it's all because of Mii Fighters. As highlighted by X user OatmealDome, and noted on the Switch 2 compatibility list, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has an issue in online play if someone is using a Mii Fighter character during matches against a Switch 2 user and someone on the original Switch console. 'If someone is using Mii Fighter, the match may end immediately,' Nintendo states. 'Until this is fixed, please avoid using Mii Fighter in online play as much as possible.' Nintendo highlights there may be issues with displaying the Mii Fighter's thumbnail too. 'When creating or editing and saving a Mii Fighter, the thumbnail image showing the Mii Fighter may not be made correctly. This may be improved by saving it again.'

In regards to both these issues, the note concludes: 'This is planned to be fixed in the near future.' While the issue is fairly minor, it's perhaps indicative of a wider problem with Miis on the Switch 2. In Mario Kart World, for example, there is no option to drive as your Miis like in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, despite them being featured on the system. This issue aside however, there are some improvements in performance when playing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on the Switch 2. As highlighted by users on X, alternate costumes on the character select screen now loads instantly, whereas before it took a few seconds, with load times in general being much faster. While Nintendo didn't list Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as one of the games set to receive an upgrade on Switch 2, it seems most first party Switch games are improved on the console, with titles like Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and Super Mario Bros. Wonder also getting minor updates. Miis are a playable character in Smash (Nintendo) Email gamecentral@ leave a comment below, follow us on Twitter.
