Hi everyone! We apologize for the delay, but the new update has finally been released on Nintendo Switch. Although it displays “v1.42” in-game, it includes fixes from both the recent v1.42 Patch and v1.43 Patch.
We will be posting the full list of changes, polish, and bug fixes applied to this 1.0.2 release for Nintendo Switch below, as it will be easier for Nintendo-based gaming outlets and Nintendo Switch users to reference everything at once.
⭐️ New Features
- There is now a new “Visual Fidelity” setting in the Options Menu that improves visual graphics at the cost of performance on the Nintendo Switch. The performance is largely unaffected on stronger devices, and we strongly recommend enabling this setting on Nintendo Switch 2.
- This is the best that we can do regarding improving graphic quality without a Nintendo Switch 2 development kit.
🐞 Bug Fixes
- Fix issue where Kaifuku Ball could not be used outside of battle.
- Fix a game softlock/freeze when approaching a certain boss battle from a certain position and angle in the final area of Labyrinth 2.

- Fix an issue with button input in the Tsuri (fishing) minigame occasionally causing the game to stall after a completed reel.
- Fix an issue with camera clipping in the Omikuji system.
- Fixed a few typos and accidental usage of kanji in certain furigana-only fields.
- Fix a rare bug where a character’s Onsen outfit could stay in place even in dialogue taking place outside of the Onsen.
- Fix rare case of game freezing (harmless, but for too long) when saving the game.
- Fix issue with being unable to interact with Kunihiko in Fuu Underground when playing Okkake no Osakenori.
- Fix harmless error that may appear when a Yajuu joins a normal battle.
- Fix input error that could take place when spamming inputs in the Fuu Underground.
- Fix residual errors that may pop up when finishing Okkake no Osakenori.
- Fix the equipment type of two late game equipment pieces.
