Player Reaction & Community Feedback
The reaction to Update 1.0.1 has been predominantly positive on social media and forums like Reddit’s r/NarutoNinjaStorm. General Bug Fixes
“Finally, I can play online with my friend in California without the match dropping every 30 seconds. The netcode still isn’t GGPO level, but it’s playable now.” – u/ChidoriMaster, Reddit but it’s 90% better.” – @StormVeteran
“The Switch version is actually fun now. Before 1.0.1, the game felt like a slideshow in 4-player battles. It’s not perfect, but it’s 90% better.” – @StormVeteran, Twitter/X
However, some hardcore competitive players are disappointed. The patch did not address the lack of a proper training mode frame data display or the tilted camera angle on the Sand Village stage.
Story Mode Fixes (History Mode & Special Story Mode)
- Chapter 4 Progression Bug: Fixed an issue where players would get stuck on a black screen after the “Sasuke vs. Itachi (Edo Tensei)” battle.
- Missing Rewards: Players who completed the “Boruto: Parent-Child Day” arc but did not receive the “Naruto (Casual Outfit)” costume will now have it auto-delivered to the Present Box.
- Dialogue Triggers: Corrected several instances of subtitles desyncing from Japanese voice lines in the “Special Story Mode” (the original Boruto arc).
General Bug Fixes
- Audio: Fixed an issue where BGM would intermittently cut out during “Ninja Card” collection menu navigation.
- Visual: Corrected a graphical glitch causing Kawaki (Karma Progression)’s right arm texture to stretch unnaturally during certain Ultimate Jutsus.
- Trophies/Achievements: The “Unforgettable Memories” trophy (view all special ninja cards) now unlocks correctly—previous progression is retroactively counted.
Positive Feedback:
- "Ranked actually finds matches within 30 seconds now."
- "The Substitution gauge nerf makes neutral game matter again."
