Hi John, as far as I know this is a know bug and has been fixed. It's coming in a patch as soon as Nintendo is back from holidays. Developers can't push patches during the holidays as there is no one on the Platform side to push the button to make it live! Thanks for letting us know!! - shane

2023-01-01 15:03:02 +0000 UTCHey Brandon, this isn't exactly IC but I'm not on twitter or anything — I'm encountering a progress-preventing bug in Hyper Gunsport. I unlocked La Ciudad, but every time I win the first match against Oakland, the game gets stuck and I have to close the whole game. This is single player on Switch in handheld mode. I've tried it playing keeper and striker and with the laser length option set to normal and long, but it's always the same result. Additionally, the character portraits in the dialogue boxes all show Saburo.
