Original article [Thu 25th Apr, 2024 14:45 BST]: Konami and WayForward announced today that a new update is on the way for Contra: Operation Galuga on Switch. As was the case with the launch update, the latest patch is available today on PS4, PS5, Xbox and Steam, but we’ll have to wait a little longer before it hits the Switch.
We don’t have an exact release date for the Switch yet other than “soon,” but we know what it will entail. The main issues targeted this time around are the force close bug, game freezes, and music glitches, though the development team has also made a handful of changes to most stages in hopes of improving the overall experience.
The full patch notes are shared at Twitter and we have collected them for you to view below.
