Verdict: The updated NSP is the definitive way to play on Switch. Without the update, the experience is frustrating. With it, the game becomes a solid, portable Marvel sandbox.
The "Update" files (often labeled as v1.0.0 to the latest patch, usually v1.5 or similar) are critical for this specific title.
