Game-breaking bug in Switch Online version of Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards to be patched

Nintendo has taken to Twitter to announce that they’re working on a patch for the Switch Online version Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, and it’s set to release early next week.

In particular, Nintendo says they’re taking care of a game-breaking bug that can halt progress for players. While the bug isn’t named in particular, it’s likely an issue we reported on where getting hit by certain attacks can stun Kirby indefinitely, making it impossible to continue on. Currently, the only way to get around this bug is to reset your game if it happens.

We’ll bring you full details on this patch once it’s available, and we’ll also inform you as to when it drops.
