Nintendo Gaming / Re: Star Fox (Switch 2)
« Last post by M.K.Ultra on Yesterday at 05:51:06 PM »
I have been really enjoying the game. I completed the campaign 3 times and have unlocked all levels and seen the good ending. I like that I can now directly jump to any level to work on the challenges. Can you earn the medals while playing levels in challenge mode? The multiplayer was a little rough my first time but now I am really into it and holding my own. I want to try and get all the multiplayer related achievements and then maybe come back to chip away at the challenges.

I happily jumped on the upgrade pack for Romancing SaGa 2, so I’m bummed they’re not offering a similar path for other games. :(

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.
