Ys IX: Monstrum Nox is finally available for Nintendo Switch following its debut earlier in the year on PS4. Falcom’s newest mainline Ys game is excellent but it has a few issues holding it back from how amazing Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana is. Read my Ys IX: Monstrum Nox PS4 review here. If you have Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana save data on your Nintendo Switch, you can unlock a useful item in Ys IX: Monstrum Nox. NIS America has also taken care of the Ys: Memories of Celceta save bonus on Nintendo Switch since the game itself isn’t available on the platform.
