Nintendo Switch Sports Resort Updated to Version 1.1.0: Full Patch Notes Revealed

Nintendo Switch Sports Resort releases tomorrow (22nd October), and Nintendo is making sure that launch day goes smoothly by releasing its very first update.

The ver. 1.1.0 update is now available. As is often the case with these launch-day jobbies, its purpose is mainly to enable all of the online modes so everyone can play some non-local multijogador right from the jump. That said, the update also introduces a Mii frequency adjuster, where you can choose how often your Miis appear in offline competitive sports.

The full patch notes have only been shared on the Japanese Nintendo website at the time of writing, so we have attached their machine translation below. We’ll be keeping an eye out for the official English translation and will update the following when we have it.
