Mario Kart 8 Deluxe isn't the only racer on Switch getting some attention, the relatively new racer on the block Chocobo GP has also been receiving regular patches.
The latest one (Version 1.2.1) follows on from the major update in July (Version 1.2.0), which was described as a "large-scale update" featuring improvements, changes and adjustments. Version 1.2.1 includes multiple fixes.
Below are the full patch notes, courtesy of the Square Enix support page:
Chocobo GP Version 1.2.1
Thank you for playing “Chocobo GP”. The Ver.1.2.1 update for Chocobo GP was released at 15:00 JST on Tuesday August 30 2022.
*Please be aware that if the player is playing a game mode that involves online communications at the time the update is released, the system will quit out of that mode after the current race finishes and return to the title screen.
The content of this update is detailed below.
1. Fixes to an issue where laps were not counted on the Gold Saucer long course.
2. Fixes to an issue where lag caused finishing position detection and the finish line sequence not to match up.
3. Fixes to an issue where using the "Change" magicite or Odin's special ability caused finishing position detection and the finish line sequence not to match up.
2. Fixes to an issue where the start of the finish line sequence for other players was delayed after finishing positions have been finalised.
5. Fixes to an issue that occurred if voice language was set to English, where character voices could be heard regardless of the distance from the speaking character when other players used Odin's special ability.
An internet connection is required to apply these updates.
We will continue to release further updates to ensure that everyone can enjoy Chocobo GP. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused to our customers and ask for your understanding. We hope you continue to enjoy “Chocobo GP”.
As noted, the development team will continue to release future updates to ensure its player base can continue to enjoy the game. Just remember that you'll need to update your own copy in order to continue playing online.

Your lives shall end as rust upon my steel!
Does anyone even still play this?
@Broski I do.
Any word on that other kart racer, Disney Speedstorm, that last I saw had a release date of "summer 2022". I mean it's September, that's cutting it kinda close. 🤷
@rjejr There's a Disney and Marvel Games Showcase on Friday so very likely the release date appears there.
@Broski 5 people I expect with the guy who responded to you being 1 out of those 5.
@RubyCarbuncle sadly yes, most of the time you play against lobbies full of bots.
@Luigivaldo Pretty much hence the reason I deleted my copy. Such a shame because it could have been so much more.
@Broski I still play this and the og all the time, overhated series
@Grumblevolcano Is that the D23 thing? Not to be confused w/ D+ day which I think is the next day?
Disney isn't some small rinky dink Playtonic, they should be able to tell people if Speedstorm is coming out on Switch or not. No listing in the eShop for a game that both was in a Direct and listed for the past few months is weird.
Thanks as always for the info, I'll keep an eye out.👍
@Broski I do too, but not as often. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is KING.👑
@rjejr yeah I totally forgot about that game. I wonder when it will be released too😅
Unfortunately, another patch rolls around and they haven't fixed the awful monetization of the game.
@VoidofLight I can tell u don't have the game they basically give you everything for free
@Drac_Mazoku I agree it's better then Mario kart it's just need more tracks n some more big name dlc
@RubyCarbuncle nope I play to its really a good game
@eazyedd2 I never tried the game because the reviews for it mentioned how bad the monetization is.
@Drac_Mazoku tbh I think it's more on the reviewers' side to add some disclaimers or updates their reviews but most of the time they don't. They only play games for a couple hours, even less and go with that first experience. I don't blame them either.
But yeah, the game is really fun and Ult & spell management are key to win consistently and you're not seeing the same 3 characters being played all the time unlike higher MK8D ranks.
My only gripe with the game is that after Season 1, SE removed drift cancel that gave to the game so much personality, like wavedashing in Melee and snaking in early Mario Kart games but oh well.
@BlueCoolYoshi I've been back and forth w/ them on twitter, b/c I'm a jerk that way, and they did point me to it on the Nintendo website.

Still can't find it on the Switch eShop though, where I'm guessing 95% of people look for Switch games, not the website.
But it still says "Summer 2022". On Labor Day. 😝 So they have like 12 hours left. 😂
@Grumblevolcano D+ day was today so Disney day tomorrow so I'm just thanking you in advance for reminding me. 👍 Won't hold you responsible for what is or isn't in it. 😉
