Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life is out now in Japan, although English-speaking players will have to wait until 27th June to get on board as well. After its Japanese eShop launch, the first patch has also been released, which fixes a number of bugs in the game — bugs that are quite entertaining to read about.
Here's a Google translated version of the patch notes available on the Bokujo Monogatari website:

Surprised they removed that insomnia thing honestly: that's basically me in a nutshell.
Dang....
Hopefully the English version in physical release already have fixed version.
Games nowadays are vulnerable with bugs and glitches.
Also, the bugs and glitches from Switch version as the first release made me feel deja vu with Pioneers of Olive Town Switch version.
Glad I pick Pioneers of Olive Town PS4 version with better version.
That's why I trust my institution to not pick A Wonderful Life on Switch version.
I believe the PS5 version will have better result than Switch version.
My money's on this being buggy and having hilarious issues. The original was charming as a kid, but it had a toonnn of weird translations and completely useless areas. Marvelous isn't going to magically become more thorough.
What traumatizing event happened in chapter 4 to warrant changing the children's eyes forever after? 👀
Day one patch?
"Fixed an issue where residents would bump into each other while moving and tremble in small increments"
I read something else first. Disappointment ensued for my 5-year-old self.
Well I suppose waiting a little more means we’ll get the beta-tested version hah
Is the headline an in-joke?
The bugs sound quite mild compared to the recent Pokémon games (apart from the poor pregnant animals!)
Honestly these notes look exactly like something Kate would make up XD
What the heck
Side note, either this was a day one patch or they worked super fast to fix these things, so mad respect for that even though technically they shouldn't be in the game in the first place. At least by the time we get out grubby mitts on it any potential problems should be ironed out, sorry Japanese beta testers as Eel said.
I only ever played Friends of Mineral Town on the GBA and was totally hooked on it. I've heard alot of bad things about most other entries. I understand this is a remake of a classic entry? Is it a remake of a good one or a bad one?
@fatleon5 that depends. Most people online will say good things about the game, however it’s also one of the more experimental entries in the series. So it might be a bit of an acquired taste kind of thing.
