News Nintendo Switch 2 Square Enix Anniversaries Surprise!

It's available on the eShop for $49.99 ( or your regional equivalent ). Like Octopath Traveler 1 & 2 earlier this week, there's no upgrade pathway for the existing Switch version, and save data won't carry over. Here's the official fine print about this from Nintendo's store page: - This game is only compatible with Nintendo Switch 2. Please be aware that it cannot be played on Nintendo Switch.

- There is also a Nintendo Switch version of this game. Please select the version you require carefully. - Save data is incompatible between the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 versions.
