Update []: Following Sega’s announcement earlier this month that it would be updating the resolution of SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance on the Switch, this patch has now gone live.
Apart from the “improved screen resolution”, there’s also a progression-blocking bug fix and a few other improvements. Here’s the full rundown, according to Sega’s official social media account:
SEGA: “Following up on our promise to improve Nintendo Switch resolution, we just released a patch addressing this today! Here’s what’s included in the patch:”
– Improved screen resolution.
– Fixed a progression-blocking bug in the “Neo City” stage where a location requiring the use of a Kusarifundo (Ninja Hook) could disappear. In addition, save data that had already become stuck due to this issue will now be automatically repaired upon loading.
– Fixed minor bugs.
Let us know in the comments how you’re finding the experience on the Switch since this update.
Original Story: Shinobi: Art of Vengeance made its arrival on the Switch eShop last week, and while we think it’s got the potential to be “pure ninja gold”, there are aspects of this particular version that could use some work.
One issue was tied to the game’s resolution not being properly optimised. Fortunately, it looks like SEGA has taken player feedback on board, with the company’s official Japanese social media account revealing there’ll be a patch to address this. Here’s the announcement:
Notice Regarding “SHINOBI: Vengeance Blade
In response to feedback from all players, we are currently developing an update patch to improve the screen resolution in the Nintendo Switch version of this title. Please wait a little longer until the patch is released.
We hope you continue to enjoy Shinobi
As mentioned, this patch is on the way for the Switch version, so hopefully players won’t have to wait much longer. Apart from the game’s resolution, in our review build, we encountered some frame rate issues.
How has your own experience been with Shinobi’s Switch eShop release so far? Let us know in the comments.
