- (and you can pet the ooblets)
For anyone getting it on Nintendo Switch, be aware that the Ooblets team has discovered a particular bug concerning the play-run shop. A fix is in the works, but for now, do the following in your save file until an update is released:
There’s an issue with the player-run shop (mid-game unlock) on Switch that we have a fix in cert for, but for the first few days after launch we’re asking Switch players to avoid that system. Thankfully it’s an easy system to avoid and doesn’t impact the progression of the game. So for now, if you’re on Switch (starting this Thursday), just don’t start the “Open your own shop!” quest. We’ll let everyone know when the patch is out and you can run the player shop safely again!
If you happen to come across any other bugs in your Ooblets adventure, feel free to see if it has been reported or not on the official Ooblets Discord.
You can get Ooblets digitally today on the Nintendo eShop. Its special launch day sale is still active, dropping it down to $19.99 (normally $29.99). For a physical copy, Fangamer is currently accepting pre-orders for its physical run of the game (priced at $34) and will not be shipping the game until sometime in Q4 2022.
