An aside but this is why I was blown away by Mario Odyssey on the Switch. While it did get patches to add a few new games modes and bonuses, there was nothing done to fix anything broken with the title because there wasn't anything. If you buy a physical copy from the last few years, there is no additional patch to download.

They had all the issues sorted out before release, very rare nowadays.

Oh it definitely has bugs and glitches - tonnes of them in fact. It's just that Nintendo chooses not to fix them(not that they should, 90% of them are basically people actively trying to break stuff, although some I can see how you could do it accidentally).

And issues have been fixed in patches too, like the first glitch on that list that would lock your camera so you couldn't turn it - that was fixed in a patch.

"If Mario performs a Cap Throw at Talkatoo and talks to him at the same time, the camera will lock into place.[...] As of the February 21, 2018 update, this glitch is fixed"

But there are situations that will literally crash the game to the OS too:

"In the Bowser's Moon Wedding objective, if Mario falls into the lava just as he is about to capture Bowser, the game immediately crashes."

That's for that recap! (Pun intended!).

I should have been more specific by being more vague. The game didn't need to be patched for the vast majority of its common use. I would be surprised if there are any games with a degree of freedom that you couldn't crash if you did just the right thing. But for 99.99% of players, they will never come across these things.

What I should have said is that if left un-patched, most people would never hit a problem.

But I really appreciate the heads up about all the glitches people are using, very cool.
