We’re only two weeks away from the release of Octopath Traveler on Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo and Square Enix are ramping up their advertisement campaign for the game. Below is a new 15-second Japanese commercial:

The Japanese release date wasn’t the only thing Square Enix announced for The World Ends with You: Final Remix today. In Japan, fans will be able to purchase a limited edition.

Square Enix is taking pre-orders through its online store here. The limited edition costs 17,000 yen. We have a few photos of the goodies below.

Here’s the debut trailer:

Nintendo published the first North American commercial for the Switch RPG Octopath Traveler. We’ve attached the advert below.

Square Enix’s 38th annual meeting of stockholders took place in Japan last week. During the event, the company apparently commented on the Switch version of Dragon Quest XI once again. One person who attended claims Square Enix stated that the Switch version of Dragon Quest XI will have content not found in the PlayStation 4 version.

At this time, an official transcript of the event has not been published. That means we only have the vague tweet to go by currently.

Despite being one of the first games confirmed for the system, Dragon Quest XI is still not out on Switch. Furthermore, Square Enix has yet to show the game on Nintendo’s console. Producer Hokuto Okamoto previously explained why it was announced so early.

Square Enix has discounted a few games across Switch and 3DS through the eShops. Eligible titles include Lost Sphear, Final Fantasy Explorers, and more.

The full lineup is as follows:

Dragon Quest XI might be the most mysterious Switch game in development currently. After all, it was technically announced way back in 2015 when the system still had its codename NX.

Polygon asked Hokuto Okamoto for an update on the Switch version of Dragon Quest XI at E3 last week. “We’re making it,” he said. “We’re still making it. I can’t say anything more.”

Square Enix has said on numerous occasions that Final Fantasy XIV could be a possibility for Switch. This has been discussed even when the system was known as NX. Our last update was in November of last year, when director / producer Naoki Yoshida said that he wants the MMORPG on as many platforms as possible.

Since then, nothing has changed. Yoshida again told VGR that he and the rest of his team want “as many to play as possible.” Discussions are also still taking place with Nintendo to see if Final Fantasy XIV can come to Switch and Xbox One with cross-play with the PC and PS4 versions. Yoshida added he “hopes to announce something as soon as we can.”

Octopath Traveler

These days, many games receive DLC at or after launch. In the case of Octopath Traveler, there won’t be anything on that front. Producer Masashi Takahashi, in an interview with Dengeki Online, said that the game is complete as is – hence why there’s no need for DLC.

Here’s the latest Japanese trailer for Octopath Traveler by the way:
