Pikmin 4 continues to be up to date with some minor bug fixes (it doesn’t actually need rather more than that), and the most recent patch provides in a few of these mentioned fixes; plus a pleasant little quality-of-life function within the type of a loading bar.

Sure, a loading bar. Nintendo has now added a “progress bar” to the loading display, so people can see simply how lengthy it’s taking to transition between levels and the hub. Nintendo reminds people that transferring the sport to the Swap’s inside storage can “shorten” load instances.

Curiously sufficient, this patch additionally applies to the demo of Pikmin 4, which remains to be stay.
