Nintendo Life • • technology
Key Points:
- Square Enix's release of Dragon Quest XI S on Switch 2 has drawn criticism for lacking an upgrade path for owners of the Switch 1 version, with many fans expressing frustration over having to repurchase the game at full price for only minor improvements like resolution and performance boosts.
- The absence of cross-save functionality and no transfer of save data between Switch 1 and Switch 2 versions has further disappointed players, who see this as a barrier to replaying the game without starting over.
- Many users consider the Switch 1 version's graphics and performance sufficient, questioning the value of the Switch 2 edition given its minimal enhancements and no added content.
- The game is reportedly being released as a Game Key Card (GKC) on Switch 2, which some fans view negatively due to the lack of physical copies and perceived publisher greed.
- Some commenters suggest that a reasonably priced upgrade pack or discount for existing owners would have been a better approach to maximize sales and goodwill, while others plan to wait for significant discounts before purchasing.
