23 months ago, if you're being technical. I pointed out that there were a few things that probably needed patched up for the Nintendo Switch Version of Bluey: The Videogame. Over those 2 years, a few patches and updates came through and definitely made the game more playable. Some of those patches gave a better frame rate as well. The biggest update came with an entire reworking of the mini games, back in May of this year.
In June, Outright Games added two more characters, Uncle Stripe and Muffin, to the selectable characters, and 7 more dress up items. They also added more items to find, in order to unlock Uncle Stripe, and this was all for the free. I told my kid about this update, but we were knee deep in Animal Crossing, and Luigi's Mansion 3, both on her backlog.
I guess in September, another update was pushed into the game, adding fetch quests for Grand Dad, Nana, and Aunt Trixie, allowing you to unlock even more costumes and accessories. The update also further expands the sticker book. Noticeable changes for me included a bigger house, and expanded levels. And on the Nintendo Switch 2, even in handheld, these characters look like butter.
They did it. They finally did it. The couch co-op for the family is indeed Bluey: The Videogame. I suggest you wipe your save and start from scratch to get the full experience, or be like me, and let your kid ask you to play with them. It's up to four players, after all. I should've reviewed it. The added bonus is my kid bouncing the game back and forth between her inherited Switch 1, and our Switch 2, via the Virtual Game Card service. It takes seconds, and is super easy to do.
Bluey: The Videogame is probably on sale right now. It's on Xbox Gamepas for now, and I'm looking at a brand new Nintendo Switch physical copy at Walmart for $18. The full price is $40, so I suggest you pick it up for your kiddos soon. I liked it then. I love it now. Good work, Outright Games.
