So I just found out that if you played the demo for Switch 2 version on your Switch 2, you cannot use the same save data for Switch 1 version of the game.
I did not know there are two demo versions and I already got my physical copy for Switch 1 but I am playing on Switch 2.
@The_Jobbo I agree with you. The game is only about doing the average tasks and when something serious finally happens, 90% of the game is already gone. I am very disappointed with the game but I also think that I have to play the whole trilogy to see the full picture so I will do that.
This was my first entry in the series.
I played DQIII Switch1 version on Switch2. It runs great, there is now free upgrade for the game. But the game itself is average and the HD-2D does not look like HD-2D in other games, it's just very plastic 3D background.
The gameplay is fun and once the mega evo unlocks it is quite catchy. But I literally hate Lumiose since the original game. On the other hand, ORAS is one of my most beloved Pokemon games ever.
I am glad that next games will be Switch2 only, and I am curious about that situation.
I finished DQ III remake few days ago and it's a good game but not much else to it so I am left a bit disappointed. In terms of JRPGs, there are better. In terms of HD-2D, there are also better. I will buy the 1&2 probably from second hand, but who knows if I ever play it... I am glad there are people who enjoy these games, tho.
I filled the survey 2 days ago in favor of physical games.
I do not see a problem in digital games nor game key cards.
I see a problem in GKC replacing physical games entirely.
Until recently, Nintendo (Switch in general) had great collection of physical games, it never stopped during all those years. But suddenly this option is gone. Being a physical game collector myself, it's like Nintendo took every joy of collecting and playing their games from me.
The crashes on Switch 2 are also annoying. I played Tales of Symphonia with several crashes during the game (no autosave and I lost some valuable progress). Star Overdrive crashed only once (+ one freeze) but it has autosave. Freedom Wars R luckily did not crash.
While I am not very excited about the latest development in Nintendo policies, they have the right to protect their products and company from harm. I can only blame piracy and everyone who took part in that.
I had maybe around 60% of the rare blades in XC2 during my first run.
But in NG+, I found really fast way to collect them all.
First, I had nearly 20 legendary core crystals previously collected.
Then, I turned off automatic saving on my Switch and I saved my save file only manually to cloud. I saved the game and uploaded the save to cloud.
I used the legendary cores and when I was not satisfied with the number of attempts, I deleted my save and downloaded it back from cloud. I repeated this process with saves and uploads every time I pulled some rare blade, and also deleted it again many times. Even then, it took me some time to get Kos-mos but I completed them all in 1-2 hours or so (including those from Torna).
Then I went and filled all the nodes on every blade lol. That was much more time consuming.
They say this is guaranteed shiny. The previous Rayquaza from the side quest was shiny locked.
Also, it correlates with the anime so anime fans will be happy even more.

"Mueller states that an analysis of the situation suggests that there is no genuine plagiarism on Pocketpair's part."
@Axecon Indeed. The thing with mobiles is that eventually every app becomes outdated and unsupported. For those like me who do not use mobile very often (plus it is very old model now), Switch version would be welcome alternative.
I bet Palworld made Nintendo angry because of the plagiarism. But patent infringments are taken more seriously in terms of law, I guess, so this is the result.
I hope Nintendo wins this.
It seems to me that the "dark mythology" was maybe originally planned for Legends Arceus and later scrapped (ghost Typhlosion + Arceus lore + shapeshifting + other dark PLA stuff like hisuian ghost Zoroark, etc). My guess is that someone probably took the homework too seriously in tone.
Meanwhile, here in central Europe, my credit card was blocked two times when I tried to buy through their eshop and my bank gave me a bold warning so I cannot buy from this "shady company."

@Fiskern Z-A are normal physical for both Switch 1 and 2.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Is Now The "Best-Selling" Physical Game In The US This Year
Why is GKC called physical anyway? The whole game needs to be downloaded digitally and the only physical thing is the plastic box cover.
Re: Square Enix Switch 2 Launch Title Scores A Limited-Time Discount
Release it as a regular physical and I will buy it.
Re: Pokémon Pokopia Is Seemingly Nintendo's First Game-Key Card Release
GKC. Well, another skip.

Did they change the release date? It was 2026 before, right?
Re: Back Page: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Fit Check - Celebrating Lumiose Fashion Week In Style

Re: Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake Gets Day One Update, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
I would buy the Switch1 version if they eventually provide us with upgrade for Switch 2. It's not like it's a must have game.

Re: Japanese Charts: Surprise, Surprise, Pokémon Legends: Z-A Leaves The Competition In The Dust
Many Switch2 owners also buy the Switch1 version of the game even if they do not play that.
Re: Opinion: Pokémon Legends Z-A Is The Creepiest Entry Yet, Not In A Good Way
Now go and try to leave Lumiose the way you came in. Absolute horror.

Re: Video: Trails In The Sky 1st Chapter DLC Overview Trailer Released
What does "...and much more" mean?
It looks like costume and flag sets only, I would not even say it's DLC...
Anyways, I am getting physical version.
Re: Video: Trails In The Sky 1st Chapter DLC Overview Trailer Released
@UltimateOtaku91 It took me around 7-8 hours to complete the demo, it's the whole prologue chapter.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Playable Switch 2 Demo Appearing At Upcoming Events
This game feels like DLC for XY with not much to offer. I guess I will play it but I am not very pleased by what I saw, so far.

There is a major plotline missing that still needs to be told and explained from the original game. I hope we get it this time.
