Aggiornare [Wed 1st May, 2024 11:45 BST]: After being released on other platforms last week, Konami and WayForward have revealed that the latest update for Contra: Operazione Galuga is now available on Switch too.

Articolo originale [Thu 25th Apr, 2024 14:45 BST]: Konami and WayForward have today announced that a new update is on the way for Contra: Operazione Galuga su 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 comes to Switch.

We don’t have a precise date for the Switch release yet outside of “presto,” but we do know what it’ll entail. The major issues targeted this time are a forced quit error, game freezes and music bugs, though the development team has also made a handful of tweaks to most of the stages in the hopes of improving the overall experience.

The full patch notes were shared on Twitter and we have collected them together for you to check out below.
