I had a feeling this was going to be another Square/Nintendo timed exclusive. Glad I held off from getting it on my switch.

EDIT: Aaaaaand, they’re releasing it 8 days after Final Fantasy XVI 🤦‍♂️ what is it with Square and cannibalizing their own sales lately. They don’t have anything coming out in July right? Couldn’t they just release this in July? I’m sure there’s people who would rather play this in Final Fantasy 16 but from a company perspective, this just make’s little sense.
