Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Gets Minor Update in June 2025, Fixes Mii Fighter Issues and System Bugs

On June 24, 2025, Nintendo released the latest update for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Version 13.0.4. However, Switch users should only expect a small patch as the update primarily addresses a few issues with Mii Fighters' thumbnails and fixes a problem plaguing the Nintendo Switch 2 system Version 20.1.5.

The update was confirmed on the Nintendo support page and follows the publisher's promise to fix a game-breaking Mii Fighters bug in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Switch 2 version. The small patch addresses another issue with Mii Fighters' thumbnails and also offers a fix for the Nintendo Switch 2 system version 20.1.5, which caused matches to end immediately if someone was using a Mii Fighter in online play.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is one of the most well-known crossover fighting games developed by Bandai Namco Studios and Sora Ltd., and players can control a wide variety of characters from Nintendo's catalog during arena fights, including Link, Pikachu, and even third-party Final Fantasy characters. The game has been one of the most popular fighting games in Japan and across the world, and its creator was recently given an honorary award by the Japanese government for his contribution to video game development.

The Super Smash Bros. series has delivered five entries thus far, beginning in 1999, offering Melee, Brawl, and versions for the Nintendo 3DS and the Wii U. The loyal community of fans appreciated the technical support provided by Nintendo in addressing these issues, and some players are discussing how the series will evolve in the future. Some think that the next installment may only include Nintendo characters.

At the start of the year, Nintendo revised its list of 10 best-selling games for 2025, despite the placement of each title's ranking remaining unchanged since the previous update. The company's top spot was awarded to arguably Nintendo's best game, which has accumulated 67.35 million units sold. Other games that made the list include Animal Crossing: New Horizons, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Pokemon Sword and Shield. Additionally, fans believed that Super Mario Party Jamboree would eventually climb the ranks.

The Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Version 13.0.4 update patch notes are as follows:

• Fixed an issue in which thumbnail images displaying Mii Fighters would sometimes not be generated correctly when creating or modifying a Mii Fighter and saving it in Games & More.
• Fixed an issue in Nintendo Switch 2 system version 20.1.5 where a match may have ended immediately if someone was using a Mii Fighter in online play.

The last Super Smash Bros. Ultimate update was released back in October 2024, and considering the size of this patch, another update might not appear for a while. However, fans can continue to enjoy this popular fighting game with its wide variety of characters and exciting gameplay until the next update arrives.
