Nintendo plans to correct a Diddy Kong glitch that surfaced in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS after a recent patch with another update in the near future.

The bug, which allowed the chimpanzee to become unthrowable with a rather simple shielding technique, made waves in the Smash community thanks in part to its absurd nature and the fact Diddy is already considered one of the game’s strongest characters.

No word has been provided as to when players can expect this patch to drop, but we do know that it will be mandatory. Wii U users will need to make sure they have at least 60 MB of space free on their console before downloading.

When Street Fighter V launches sometime next year, it will be the first numbered Street Fighter sequel to head straight to consoles without a prior arcade release. The relatively smaller size of the arcade market compared to consoles and the fact that Sony is backing the title have both likely contributed to the upcoming game’s break with tradition.

But that doesn’t mean an arcade version won’t ever happen. In an interview with Mexican game outlet Level Up at Electronic Game Show, series producer Yoshinori Ono stated that an arcade version of the game is not impossible.

That said, the team is currently focused on the home version and the worldwide community on PlayStation 4 and PC. Ono states that hopes for an arcade version are not dead, and that Street Fighter V may eventually hit Japanese game centers sometime in the future.
