Yokai - Watch 1 For Nintendo Switch Nsp Jpn U Better

Both versions run at a locked 30fps in the open world and battles. The JPN launch version had a few minor bugs (e.g., camera clipping, rare quest flags not updating). By v1.3, these were fixed. The U version launched with all JPN fixes and no major exclusive issues.

However, some CFW users report that JPN NSPs are more stable on older firmware (e.g., 10.x) because the U version requires a higher base firmware. Check your Switch setup. yokai watch 1 for nintendo switch nsp jpn u better
