The game does not go past the splash screen and displays a message “The software has been closed because an error has occurred”.

It seems that the recent update (v2022.10.25) on Nintendo Switch has broken the proper functioning of the game.

Those affected tried restarting their consoles and reinstalling the game, but to no avail.
