Purpose of Updates: Game updates are typically released to fix bugs, improve stability, enhance security, and sometimes add new content or features.

The current game runs at 900p/30fps on Wii U/Switch. The 160 update would introduce a dynamic resolution scaler for Switch 2 backward compatibility.

Yes, for emulation players and OLED owners. The improved shader compilation and save integrity are tangible benefits.
No, for casual Switch Lite players. You will not notice a difference. If you are in the middle of a playthrough, do not risk breaking your mods or save structure for this incremental patch.
