The Suikoden spiritual successor Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes has offered up quite an enjoyable RPG experience, but admittedly had some issues at launch on the Nintendo Switch.
Although the teams at Rabbit & Studios and 505 Games have already acknowledged this, there's apparently something much more "major" in the works. According to the official social media account for this relatively new release, a Switch patch announcement is coming in the next few days.
In addition to this, the physical edition of the game has also been made available in select regions. Here's the latest update:
The Nintendo Switch physical edition of Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is now available in EMEA and Americas. For any support related questions please contact: 505 Games Support @ http://support.505games.com
Please stay tuned for a major Switch patch announcement in the next few days.
505 Games previously shared a statement noting how it was aware of the problems on Switch and was "addressing them as a maximum priority".
Technical issues aside, in our review on Nintendo Life, we said this Hundred Heroes was an "easy recommendation to any classic JRPG fan", with an expansive narrative, gorgeous sprite work, and addictive combat.
When we hear more about this next major update, we'll let you know. How has your time been with Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes so far? Tell us in the comments.

Hopefully the patch releases by the time that I finish Paper Mario. I have been wanting to play this title.
Looking forward to a patch. I get pretty regular crashes to the point that I save my game before doing even basic stuff back at HQ. Outside of that, I've been enjoying it, but the crashes get annoying.
Nice that they are fixing it, hopefully they port this to the Switch 2 as a launch title so we don't have to deal with more issues later on.
Hopefully they patch the horrendous localisation too.
even if they fix it, it won't be on the cartridge, which sucks. I prefer delaying the physical version and making it a finished version
It's like shooting their feet by doing this kind of strategy! They release a game because of the date even if it has problems because they are in hurry, especially when it's multiplatform BUT they get negative reviews because of the problems and people don't buy it and later on where a patch will maybe show, people will have forgotten it.. Just release the game when it's ready because you will get lower sales!
I got bored with it and stopped playing just after the forest tree beings and forest guardians joined up.
i MUCH prefer Rising to Hundred Heroes!
I hope this patch fixes all the issues... I really want to get this game, and I will, but it's a shame they didn't release it properly, many people just won't care about it just by looking at the reviews...
An indie game can't afford to be released in such conditions.
I pre-ordered the physical edition and am picking it up tomorrow, so it's reassuring to hear that a big patch should be on its way soon. Will be waiting for that before I start the game, hopefully will be a short wait.
Love to see it as I'm so looking forward to giving this game a try on Switch when I have the time and hope at least its major technical issues will be fixed by then!
I bought the physical Switch game yesterday despite the warnings on performance because I know this is the sort of game I would want to have portably and not stuck in my living room on the PS5. I'll wait for the major patch(es) before I play it - if there ever is a Switch 2 version with all patches included on the cart, and I like the game, then I'll probably exceptionally double-dip.
@Retron Oh no, horrendous localisation, you say? I will never understand how devs seem to care so little for something so important for an RPG.
Suikoden II had the same issue. Hope the remaster of Suikoden fares better.
Not just the Switch version. I've been playing it on PS5 and holy crap the frame rate is atrocious! It might take the crown away from Atelier Ryza 2 for worst performing game on PS5 that I've played.
Glad I canceled my preorder. Hope they fix the issues.
I would hope they delayed the physical prints, but... They hit the shelves today.
I would honestly be more willing to wait for delayed physical releases if that meant at least Day 1 patches were built in more often.
@Daniel36 Who the heck unironically says “chud” IRL??
@OwenGamer22 Yeah, that doesn't sound good.
It's a shame. I remember being very impressed by the localisation AND vocals from Final Fantasy 12, and the localisation of the PSP remaster of Final Fantasy Tactics, because it felt to Shakespearian and RIGHT for those worlds.
And then I also played Trails of Heroes or whatever and it was just... in any case, that said, in other words... every... other... sentence... And the entire ways of speech were just so anachronistic. Yeah, I know that series is a little more modern in its world, but still... You know what I mean. Just because it is a fantasy world doesn't mean it makes sense for people to say "chud".
I am rambling. Blame the beers.
But they won't change it. We will just have to stomach it.
thats awesome news, just a headsup for those getting ready to play it make sure you dont miss out on some of the characters cause there are certain points that if u dont get them their gone. was so heartbroken to know i missed out on the griff at the end of the game sigh....
@Papasears1982 That's Suikolikes for you. Just kidding, please don't start using this term. Please!
What have I done?
@OwenGamer22 Breadtubers and their fans.
No, I cannot go into further detail.
