Tokyo, Japan – Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, the spiritual successor to Suikoden, has been released with significant performance issues on the Nintendo Switch platform. Players have reported experiencing frame rate drops, long loading times, and issues with game stability, labeling the overall performance as a “technical disaster.”
In response to the concerns raised by players, developer Rabbit & Bear Studios released a Version 1.0.3 patch in Japan to address bugs affecting game progress and to improve overall stability. However, reports from the Eiyuden Chronicle subreddit suggest that the patch may not have significantly improved the game’s performance on the Switch.
The US version of the Switch release already includes the Version 1.0.3 patch at launch, incorporating all updates mentioned in the Japan patch notes. Despite these efforts to enhance the gaming experience, players continue to experience problems with frame rates and stability.

Additionally, long loading times have further compounded players’ frustrations with the game’s performance.
The developer’s response to ongoing performance issues remains unclear, as players eagerly anticipate further updates and improvements to enhance their gaming experience. Despite the setbacks, fans of the Suikoden series and RPG enthusiasts remain hopeful that these issues will be addressed in future patches to fully realize the potential of Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes on the Nintendo Switch.
