I'm a bit over a week late to this, but I was just now going through my wishlist to see if any of the games there were on sale, and I saw that Octopath Traveler (the first one) is no longer available.

I really enjoyed Octopath. Was a great game, and I'm excited to play 2 when my time opens up a little bit.

Yeah, I did some further reading, and it does seem like it's only temporary, because the publisher changed.

Nintendo is no longer publishing the first one on Switch; Square-Enix is taking it over, sounds like.

If SE is taking over the publishing rights, theyll probably ghost add it to PS.

Yeah.
What Nintendo should do is add a bunch of other publishers games without permission and make money from them.

Right?

For Square likely de-listing a game?

You realize other platforms de-platform games, this is just the first time it was a game you personally care about... or this is more of the its-only-bad-when-Nintendo console fanboy posting.

Probably.
I bet the complainers had no interest in buying the game anyway.

When was it added without permission? The publisher agreed to publish it, it's over half a decade old, & the EShop agreed to host a digital copy like Steam or PSN does.

So is this a case of Nintendo actually doing something shitty & it needed to be delisted by SE because something was added in error without their permission, or is this solely an EShop issue which means the problem doesn't exist on other platforms

I'd still like to play the first one at some point, even if 2 is better.

If they don't have the license...

But facts don't matter when there's trolling to do.

Yeah it's not the first game for this to happen when changing publishers. I still enjoyed the game, but the story could've been told in a much better way imo.

Yeah, it's because of the full publishing rights reverting back to Square in December.

What's awesome is that means it may actually go on sale often on Switch now.

Before, it was only occasionally on Nintendo-style "sales".

More like, why didn't they just arrange to switch the game over to Square's publishing account without taking it down, or at least, arrange it so it would be down for the bare minimum amount of time?

Do, or do not. There is no Trumble.

If my collection fo SquareEnix games on steam shows, yes Square Enix on average, not only do their games go on sale on a higher rate but when they do go on sale it's usually heavily discounted, even up to 90% off.

Nintendo's boot is already inside you your name says as much, so idk why I bother showing proof of purchase, they don't need to be coddled the billion dollar company can mistakes without the company defense squad coming in.

You... Could have just read the topic before posting again.

Eh, it's pretty common with a publisher change, since it needs a new listing in the database. It happened with Skullgirls in the past on everything it was on, as well as a WWE game when 2K took over.
