Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Update Out Now, Fixes A Challenge Bug

Nintendo has released a new update for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. This patch, version 2.0.1, is a fairly minor one; it doesn't make any new balance adjustments to the game, but it does resolve an issue with one of its Challenges.

Specifically, the patch fixes a bug that arose following the recent 2.0.0 update, which prevented players from completing an Adventure Challenge featuring King K. Rool, even if the conditions had been met. Once the update has been installed, load your Adventure save data and the issue will be resolved.

The aforementioned 2.0.0 update made some big changes to the game, the most notable of which was the addition of Piranha Plant, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's first DLC character. Early adopters were able to receive the new fighter for free, but those who missed out on the offer have the option of purchasing it from the Eshop for $5.

The next DLC character coming to the game is Persona 5's Joker. During the latest Nintendo Direct presentation, Nintendo revealed that he'll be joining the roster sometime before the end of April alongside Ultimate's 3.0.0 update. Joker is one of the five DLC characters included in the $25 Fighters Pass; the four others have yet to be revealed.

In addition to the 2.0.1 update, a new Spirit Board event is now live in Ultimate. This week's event is called Kong Family Reunion, and it features a variety of characters from the Donkey Kong series, including the Legend-class Spirit Kaptain K. Rool.
