Nintendo Working to Fix Metroid Dread Bug that Prevents Progress Near the End of the Game

Read the patch notes below:

Fixed an issue where, if a map marker is placed on a specific door on the map screen (the door destroyed with the beam obtained at the end of the game), destroying that door at the end of the game would cause the game to forcefully quit with the message "The software was closed because an error occurred”.
Fixed several other issues to improve overall gameplay experience.

Metroid Dread is available now for the Nintendo Switch.
