@JanduSoft @NintendoSwitch This patch allowed my save game to load again, but I soon encountered dozens of crashes when entering or exiting a new area, or trying to save the game, or sometimes when trying to pick up a new item. Some areas always make the game crash, so it's tough trying to play around them

[Chris Slate @ChrisSlate]

@Fabio84599058 @Evan_Tor Oops, I spoke too soon. The patch allowed me to resume my game and play for a couple more hours, but then the crashes started again, usually when entering, exiting, or trying to save in a newly reached area, or sometimes when I try to grab an item. It crashed dozens of times.

[Chris Slate @ChrisSlate]

@Fabio84599058 @Evan_Tor I just want to confirm that the patch that was released today (3/25/24) seems to have fixed the problem since my save game now loads again. I can't wait to get back to playing!

[Chris Slate @ChrisSlate]

@Fabio84599058 @Evan_Tor I ran into the same problem on Switch last night -- 20 hours in, and now the game crashes whenever I try to load my save. Same result if I try to start a new game using the same profile. I'm hoping for a patch soon since the game is sooo good!!

[Chris Slate @ChrisSlate]

@Fabio84599058 @Evan_Tor That's great to know, thanks!

Was that an NES Pro Wrestling poster I just saw in #TheSuperMarioBrosMovie? 10/10

@JamesGunn, how about Superman à la Ted Lasso? A genuine and joyful aw-shucks Supes slowly winning over cynics (Lois) in an increasingly polarized world manipulated by oligarchs (Lex) who stir distrust with misinformation (Bizarro).

[Chris Slate @ChrisSlate]

@trinh_pham13 Ha! Despite the fact that I had plenty of hair when I played Super Metroid, I think Metroid Dread beats it! Dread just feels so good to play.

[Chris Slate @ChrisSlate]

Posting this because imagining I would do it was a goal that kept me going. Honestly can't believe I cleared Dread Mode! #MetroidDread #NintendoSwitch

I never knew I wanted a 3D Kirby game this bad. So happy to have a new 3D platformer to look forward to!
