The recently released Front Mission 1st Remake has been thankfully updated to version 1.0.3 today by the Forever Entertainment team. The game wasn’t up to scratch at launch, so hopefully these new additions and fixes should fix that somehow. It’s a little worrying that some of Forever Entertainment’s recent releases are what they are Panzer Dragoon Remake and House of the Dead remake on Switch it needs to be fixed after running the games. Anyway, Front Mission 1st Remake version 1.0.3 is out today on Nintendo Switch.
