The adorable Game Boy-inspired Save Me Mr Tako: Definitive Edition celebrates its one-year anniversary tomorrow, and to celebrate, the game recently got a brand new update!
The little pea-green octopus' adventure will get a brand new Japanese localisation courtesy of 8-4. This means that the game will now fully support Japanese again and will also display kanji as well as kana characters — whereas the previously delisted version only used kana.
Here are the full patch notes for the update, which went live on 28th April, straight from the game's Steam page:
- Dialog box now shows the speaker name
- New Japanese localization added
- Fixed the king's death message reappearing issue
- Fixed the sage item disappearing issue if the player leaves the house (until re-entering the town)
- Fixed the switch hidden behind the HUD issue in Octopus Temple
- Fixed an issue that occured in the volcano dungeon lava area
- Fixed the soft lock issue in Octopus Temple
- Fixed the Konami code room camera issue
- Fixed some typos
Limited Run Games are also releasing a physical edition, which you can pre-order right now until 22 May at 8:59 PDT / 11:59pm EDT. Currently, this is only available in the US, but the Switch cart is region-free, so if you have the money in your octo-purse, you can still import the game.
While there are four different versions on Limited Run Games' store, both plush bundles are sold out. Booo. At least you can buy the little fella separately for $19.99, though!
Currently, the two versions available are the OST Bundle for $49.99, and the standard physical edition for $34.99. You better be well-armed to get one of these before stocks run out!
Tell us about your experiences with Save Me Mr Tako in the comments, and let us know if you're going to be the proud owner of a Mr Tako plush!

These are the sorts of small fixes and improvements the developer wasn't able to make when they were originally published by Nicalis. I'm glad they've been able to do better under LRG.
I'm looking forward to ordering this game physically on Friday, since I do bundle orders towards the end of a desired item's pre-order window to save shipping costs.
I got the Nicalis version and was always hoping for an update. It’s a shame he had to re list the game with a new publisher to make it happen. Nicalis are total scum.
"both plush bundles are sold old"
Nothing quite like some pre-loved plush!
@RupeeClock : Same here. I’m keen on this and Contra Anniversary, though it peeves me that they’re releasing these three Konami anniversary collections separately at $35 a pop when they’re routinely on sale for next to nothing in the eShop. Such is life for us physical lovers.
I might grab Snow Bros. too, but that pre-order window closes this weekend, so I’ll have to place my order soon in that case.
I just downloaded the update! This is a lovely game for folks who wish the Game Boy was never discontinued. I've been playing it slowly so as to stretch out the experience.
Seems like this game really has some depth to it 🥁🐙
I remember when this game was first featured when it was in development. It looked quite interesting to me. I was waiting to see how the game turned out and if it would be updated. It's a shame they had to switch publishers and basically issue a new version of the game rather than being able to update it, but I'm glad they left the previous publisher as that seemed like a toxic situation. I'll have to look into this one now to see about playing it on PC.
@The_BAAD_Man You just gotta love it when you get a plushie that's been in the drier for most of it's life.
Glad to finally see things looking optimistic for the dude after Nicalis not letting him update further.
