Nintendo updates Splatoon Raiders, removes tank‑limiter button hold
Nintendo released version 1.1.1 of the Splatoon Raiders update on 7 August 2026 for the Nintendo Switch 2. The patch eliminates the requirement to long‑press the A button when unlocking the tank‑limiter, allowing players to remove the limiter more easily.
The update also addresses several bugs: it corrects a problem where the HOPPING mini‑game sometimes failed to register fish collisions, fixes an issue where the Zubat Slasher’s explosion damage did not benefit from the emergency‑damage‑up bonus, resolves a freeze that could occur after using the Ink‑Roll move, prevents enemies from becoming unreachable due to terrain glitches, and stops the game from crashing when the touchscreen is touched on the fog‑filled startup screen. Splatoon Raiders, a PvE‑focused spin‑off of the Splatoon series, launched on 23 July 2026 for the Switch 2.
