Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, insert the game card into your Nintendo Switch console. The system may require a software update upon first launch to ensure compatibility with the latest patches. Keep the game card clean by storing it in its original case when not in use, and avoid touching the gold contacts on the back. Since the game features diverse control schemes for different character types, ensure your Joy-Cons or Pro Controller are fully charged and calibrated. If playing in handheld mode, consider using a screen protector to prevent wear during high-intensity movement segments.
