Pokemon Scarlet and Violet gets a new update as Nintendo says it takes feedback ‘seriously’

videogameschronicle.com:

Nintendo has detailed the next update coming to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet and has said that it’s taking player feedback “seriously”, as the newly released RPGs face notable performance issues.

The version 1.1.0 update will release later today and brings with it the first season of Ranked Battles, one of the game’s competitive modes.

It will also fix an issue where certain music tracks weren’t playing correctly during specific battles.

In a message from Nintendo, the company apologised for performance issues that players have encountered, saying that it will “take the feedback from players seriously and [is] working on improvements to the games.”

The full patch notes for the version 1.1.0 update are as follows:

We are aware that players may encounter issues that affect the games’ performance. Our goal is always to give players a positive experience with our games, and we apologize for the inconvenience.

We take the feedback from players seriously and are working on improvements to the games.

In VGC’s Pokémon Scarlet and Violet review, we said the games were the most feature-rich Pokémon titles in years but suffered from technical issues.

“The huge expansion and changes to the single player campaign are great, the size of the world and the joy of exploration are the best in the series, and the new Pokemon and battle mechanics introduced all sing,” we wrote.

“However, it’s just impossible to shake the thought of how much better the game would feel if it was on more powerful hardware, or simply ran acceptably on Switch.”
