TalkBack / Re: Octopath Traveler I And II To Come To Switch 2 On October 1, With No Upgrade Or Save Transfer

It would be weird if it were the first one since every one of Nintendo's own games has an upgrade. I can't think of a single reason Nintendo wouldn't want third parties to do the same.

Is there a reason why so many third-parties refuse to offer upgrades? Is it a complicated process? Is it easier to do on PS5/Xbox Whatever?

There are several possibilities:

1. Nintendo is discouraging upgrade paths and save transfers compared to the likes of Sony & Microsoft.

2. Sony & Microsoft are providing incentives behind the scenes for companies to offer those upgrade paths and save transfers, but Nintendo does not.

3. 3rd parties (but especially Square Enix) are choosing to combat recent economic downturns by pulling up the drawbridge and removing any costly QoL incentives for users to cut costs and maximize returns. Nintendo owners aren't exactly known for buying 3rd party games as it is.

There's probably more, but the most likely reason is some combination of 2 & 3. With how quickly Sony is burning every bridge they can find lately, I wouldn't be surprised if we stop seeing upgrade paths/perks with games on their consoles as well.

I hope they don't rest until all versions of Dr. Mario are available.

For some reason, I thought this had already shut down around the time they dumped all its tracks into Mario Kart VIII.

I bought it back in February, but only got around to playing it this month. It's pretty good, as is to be expected! I have some gripes, but they're easy enough to ignore and focus on the good. I like to see how many bananas I can get without using the transformations (not that they aren't fun, but it's interesting to see what's possible to reach without them).

I’ve been playing the heck out of this game. 55 hours currently. Trying to earn every challenge on Expert. The Solar ones are so hard! How do I get 6 bombs?! It seems so random. But loving the heck out of it. I swear those info holo deck things were made to flesh out a sequel already in the works!

Heh. Figures. I skimmed through the topic, but I didn't see that. Oh well. You may resume the pummeling, then.
