Changes to Shot Behavior
- Made an adjustment so sliding and leaping do not occur when you perform a charge cancel. (However, the behavior remains the same as Ver. 1.0.1 for multiball.)
Other Changes
- Fixed a bug where ratings were not being adjusted on the last day of each month at 5 P.M. (Pacific time).
- Fixed a bug where the event would not proceed after the “In the Sky” battle in Adventure. Also adjusted it so the event will progress if you resume from save data following that point where the event does not proceed.
- Several other adjustments and fixes have been made to improve the gameplay experience.
Oh good, patch notes! I like the balancing changes.
THEY FIXED THE GHOST RACKET, LETS GO!!!!!!
Know what would be nice? If the game had more content as in missions, or whatever they call them in this game. This has been a running issue with a bunch of Nintendo games.
Pretty fun game. Had a good time doing the towers with my son. He loves the story mode, but I haven’t touched it yet.
