NIS America published a demo for Disgaea 5 Complete on the Switch eShop this week. If you’re on the fence, it’s a good opportunity to try out the strategy RPG.

Some information was floating around that it’s possible to transfer progress over to the full game. But unfortunately, NIS America said on Twitter that it’s not actually possible. You can save in the demo itself, but data can’t be moved over to the retail release.

NIS America passed along the news on Twitter:

Another piece of significant information has been reported stemming from the April 2017 NPD report. According to Mat Piscatella, an analyst for the company, Mario Kart is the all-time best-selling racing franchise in the U.S.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was the best-selling game in the U.S. last month despite being on the market for just two days. In that short period, over 460,000 physical units sold. With digital sales included, the total exceeds 550,000 units.
