Update [Fri 2nd Dec, 2022 00:55 GMT]: Version 1.1.0 is officially live! To manually update the title, press + on the home menu game icon and then select the ‘software update’ option.
Original article [Thu 1st Dec, 2022 03:15 GMT]: Pokémon Scarlet and Violet have been available on the Nintendo Switch for a few weeks now and since release, there’s been a lot of concerns raised about the game’s tech issues. Although the ninth generation is a step in the right direction for the series with its new open-world gameplay, the performance issues and bugs have made it quite difficult for some trainers to enjoy.
Now, in an update, Nintendo has announced a new patch for Scarlet and Violet will be released on 1st December (aka later today). In addition to full patch notes via the official support page, it’s also apologised for the game’s issues and mentioned how it’s taking player feedback on board and aims to provide trainers around the globe with a “positive experience”.
“We are aware that players may encounter issues that affect the games’ performance. Our goal is always to give players a positive experience with our games, and we apologize for the inconvenience. We take the feedback from players seriously and are working on improvements to the games.”
As for the update (Version 1.1.0), players can look forward to Season 1 of the game’s ranked battles, a music fix and “other select bug fixes” which are not detailed:
Ver. 1.1.0 (Releasing December 1, 2022)
– Season 1 of Ranked Battles will kick off, allowing you to enjoy Ranked Battles through the Battle Stadium.
– Please check the in-game notice for more details about Ranked Battles Season 1.
– An issue has been fixed that caused the music to not play correctly during the battles with the Elite Four and the Top Champion in the Victory Road path.
– Other select bug fixes have been made.
In our own Pokémon Scarlet and Violet review here on Nintendo Life, we mentioned how excited we were about the series’ future, but couldn’t overlook the wildly inconsistent performance issues and visuals. Since then, the bugs and tech issues have been well-documented. You can catch up on this in some of our previous stories:
Tech issues aside, the ninth generation of pocket monsters has broken a number of records worldwide – going on to become the highest-selling title across any Nintendo platform within the first three days by surpassing 10 million sales. The new entries have also been crowned the “biggest” launch ever for a video game in Japan.
What are your thoughts about this next update? Glad to see Nintendo has acknowledged the player feedback? Comment below.

The City of Pointe-Claire would like to inform you that the Bob-Birnie arena will be closed for its annual maintenance as of Monday, April 29. The Annex rink will reopen to the public on Monday, May 13, and the arena’s Main rink will be accessible as of Monday, June 3.
Public skating will resume on May 13, and the summer public activities programming will begin on June 3 when both rinks have reopened to the public.
In addition to the annual maintenance of the facility, two renovation projects are also scheduled to start at the same time:
Installation of new sound systems
The City will be replacing its current sound systems in both the Main rink and Annex rink, to offer arena visitors a better overall experience, whether watching from the stands or participating in on-ice activities. This project is expected to be conducted throughout the month of May.
Renovation of locker rooms in the Main Rink
The City will also be renovating the five locker rooms located in the Main rink, to bring up to date the amenities currently available to participants. These renovations are expected to begin in early May and will be completed by mid-August.
For all information about the Bob-Birnie arena, visit the arena’s page on our website.
We haven’t seen a new iPad in years, but Apple seems likely to change that in just a few weeks. All signs point to the release of new iPad models in the first week of May.
Apple CEO Tim Cook posted this GIF for the virtual event to X on Tuesday morning.
This morning, I received an email invite for a virtual Apple event, scheduled for May 7 at 7 a.m. PT (10 a.m. ET). The invite, which says “Let Loose,” shows a drawing of a hand holding an Apple Pencil. Considering the iPad is the only device that uses the Pencil — that doesn’t leave much to the imagination.
Apple’s been expected to release new OLED-screened iPad Pros with newly designed Pencils and Magic Keyboard cases. New iPad Airs are also expected, including a larger-screened 12.9-inch model. Apple’s iPad Air lineup tends to be slightly redesigned versions of previous-model iPad Pros, so just look to the M2 iPad Pro lineup for a sense of what the next Airs could be. These would be the first new iPads since the iPad Pro M2 model arrived in late 2022.
