Troubleshooting if update fails or problems appear

  • If update won’t download:
    • Restart your Switch and router.
    • Check System Settings → Internet → Connection Status.
    • Make sure storage isn’t full (Album and saved data can crowd internal memory).
    • Try a wired LAN adapter (via dock) if Wi‑Fi is unstable.
  • If game crashes after update:
    • Make sure console firmware is up to date.
    • Check for corrupted save data (System Settings → Data Management → Delete Save Data — back up if needed).
    • Reinstall the game: Delete software (your save data remains unless you delete it explicitly) and redownload from the eShop or insert cartridge and update again.
  • If online issues persist:
    • Test NAT type (System Settings → Internet → Test Connection). Open NAT provides the best experience.
    • Enable port forwarding for Switch (UDP 1–65535 typically not necessary; common Switch ports include 6667, 12400, 28910, 29900–29999 — check Nintendo support for specifics).
  • If you suspect a bug not listed: Report it through Nintendo Support and share reproduction steps; developers prioritize issues with clear repros.
