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:
We'd like to confirm the save feature of #Disgaea5Complete's demo. The save data cannot be transferred to the full game.

You are able to save during the demo, however. We apologize for the miscommunication with some fans earlier. Thanks for your understanding!

Nintendo ended this week’s ARMS Direct with a new trailer for Splatoon 2 highlighting Hero Mode, the game’s single-player campaign. The series’ Japanese Twitter account has since shared some additional details and images.
Marie is not only a member of Squid Sisters, but also agent 2 of New Squidbeak Splatoon. She is keeping a close watch on the Octarians while Cap’n Cuttlefish is away. As indicated by this week’s trailer, agent 4 does not know of the Squid Sisters.
The first pure gameplay from Mighty Gunvolt Burst was just shown on a BitSummit 2017 live stream. We’ve gone ahead and posted the recording below.
V Jump has offered lengthy gameplay of Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers. View the video below for 20 minutes of footage.
Mario Kart is the all-time best-selling racing franchise in the U.S.
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.
One Piece: Unlimited World Red Deluxe Edition was confirmed for Europe earlier this week. Now we can say the same for North America as well.
Like in Europe, One Piece: Unlimited World Red Deluxe Edition will be out sometime in September. However, it’ll be a digital only title in the states. The good news is that Switch is region free, so if you’re interested in a physical version, you can import it from Europe.
Inti Creates released the first trailer for Mighty Gunvolt Burst on 3DS. Have a look at the video below.
Over on the Inti Creates blog, a ton of details are provided about Mighty Gunvolt Burst. Head past the break for the full rundown.
Update: Added in additional details and trailer below from the Inti Creates blog. This will be a worldwide release on August 31.
Original: Aside from Mighty Gunvolt Burst, Inti Creates is revealing a second brand new Switch release at BitSummit. Today, the company announced Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack, another title (or should we say titles?) for Switch.
Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack may sound familiar as it originally came out on 3DS last year. This was a retail package that featured both Azure Striker Gunvolt games.
On Switch, the two Azure Striker Gunvolt games are once again included. Striker Pack will feature HD Rumble, new music, and DLC from the 3DS release this time around.
Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack launches in Japan on August 31. We’ll update this post when we have additional information, which should be very soon.
A few new games out came out this week on the Wii U and 3DS eShops. If you’re interested in checking out what’s new in screenshot form, take a look at the gallery below.
