Preservation Notes
- Access Hardware
- Nintendo Switch; compatible Nintendo Switch family hardware
- Original Hardware
- Nintendo Switch
- Playback Compatibility
- Nintendo Switch software is region-free. The retained game card is the primary access copy and runs on any Nintendo Switch console.
- Preservation Concerns
- Game cards are flash media; long-term charge retention, contact wear, and loss of the small card from its case are the principal risks. Any content delivered as an eShop download or update depends on Nintendo’s servers and is not preserved by the card alone.
- Edition History
- Released in Japan on December 20, 2018 (Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4), and North America on July 12, 2019. A season pass of additional content followed.
- Access Status
- Distributed at retail by Square Enix, with a digital edition on the Nintendo eShop.
