Its a pretty good outcome but the games with "resolved" issues are not all good news.

Some examples (all from different games):

  • Remaining on the title screen for 30 seconds will cause an error to trigger and the game will close. Please navigate away from the title screen before the error occurs.
  • Inputting a particular sequence of controls in a stage may on rare occasion cause the game to close.
  • Slowdown may occur in some parts of the game
  • Screen distortion may occur in some parts of the game
  • When Nintendo Switch 2 players battle Nintendo Switch players online, Nintendo Switch players' character models will have distorted textures.

Still, if they have identified these issues it says a fair bit about how though their testing was.
