Between my overlong Pokopia play sessions, Ive been making my way through Pokmon XD: Gale of Darkness . And although Im yet to encounter any technical issues, this news did have me slightly worried.

Luckily, though, Nintendo has offered a suggestion for players who want to keep their save data protected against random crashes. For the moment, it urged players to please use the Save Anywhere function in the Suspend Menu within the game.

In light of these issues, Nintendo concluded by saying we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience or trouble this may have caused.

For the uninitiated, Pokmon XD: Gale of Darkness was originally released on the GameCube in 2005, and serves as a follow-up to Pokmon Colosseum . After
