Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl Receiving Day One 3GB Update

The Nintendo Switch games Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl will reportedly be getting a 3GB update on the day of their release. The update will be adding several online and end-game features to the highly anticipated games.

The patch to the 2006 remakes will update the games to version 1.1.0 and will require 3GB of available space. Nintendo recommends players download the update before starting the game but players who download their copy from the Nintendo eShop will not have a separate update.

Nintendo released patch notes to the update stating that it will add online communication features for Grand Underground, Super Contest Show, and Union room. It will also give players the ability to receive Mystery Gifts. More playable content such as Ramanas Park will be added which opens up once players enter the Hall of Fame and the update will also add several in-game cutscenes and animations, as well as bug fixes.
