FULL STORY
The Nintendo Classics version of
Pokmon XD: Gale of Darkness launched on Nintendo Switch 2 just one week ago, but players have already reported issues with the release.

Nintendos Japanese support account on X released a statement, saying in a translated post that it had received inquiries regarding errors occurring and the game crashing. It followed this up by assuring fans that we [Nintendo]
are currently investigating the matter to find a solution. Indeed, a fix is
in the works for this classic GameCube title, but it is yet to be rolled out, with Nintendo adding we will inform you as soon as we have further
information, so please wait a little longer.

Between my overlong Pokopia play sessions, Ive been making my way through Pokmon XD: Gale of Darkness . And although Im yet to encounter any technical issues, this news did have me slightly worried.

Luckily, though, Nintendo has offered a suggestion for players who want to
keep their save data protected against random crashes. For the moment, it
urged players to please use the Save Anywhere function in the Suspend Menu within the game.

In light of these issues, Nintendo concluded by saying we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience or trouble this may have caused.

For the uninitiated, Pokmon XD: Gale of Darkness was originally released on
the GameCube in 2005, and serves as a follow-up to Pokmon Colosseum . After
an evil syndicate creates twisted shadow Pokmon, its up to the player and
their partner, Eevee , to stop the malevolent plot and purify the hearts of
the afflicted pocket monsters.

Ive been seriously enjoying this stylish and engaging adventure so far, so hopefully a patch will release quickly to set players minds at ease.
