Square Enix has released some new story details and screenshots for Dragon Quest XI. There’s a bit of an overlap with the details revealed in Jump magazine last week, like the bios for new characters Veronica and Senya, so we will only be covering the new stuff here, in addition to screenshots from the 3DS version. Thanks to Gematsu for the translation.

As the reincarnation of the legendary “Hero,” the protagonist sets off on a journey through a vast world.

 

The protagonist, who grew up in the calm village of Ishi, turned 16 years old and took part in a coming-of-age ceremony as a village custom. As the reincarnation of the “Hero” that once saved the world, he understands that he is burdened with a great mission. To learn about the Hero and the Hero’s mission, he sets off on a journey from his hometown.

The destination—the continent’s biggest country, “Delcadar.” Specifically, the king.

Based on his mother’s words that all will be revealed should he go to Delcadar, the protagonist in due course heads for the king. The protagonist informs the king of Delcadar that he is the “hero,” and the king began to tell him what the “hero” means—

And then, the Hero is called the child of the devil!

What the king of Delcadar said was unbelievable. He said that the Hero is the child of the devil. In response to the king’s words, the soldiers surround the protagonist with their swords pointed at him. What is the meaning of all of this? The story of the legendary “Hero” starts off with a bang. What is the fate of the protagonist?

The story of a new “Hero” begins now.

The Switch has now been released around the world, and sales numbers are starting to trickle in. In the UK, the Switch has sold around 80,000 units during its first two days on the market. For comparison’s sake, this is twice as much as the Wii U managed to do (40,000) but not quite as strong as the 3DS’ opening weekend, during which 113,000 units were sold. The Switch was also sold out at many retailers, so it’s likely that sales will remain strong in the following weeks.

UK-based retailer Gameseek got quite a bit of attention in the last couple of months for having sold the Nintendo Switch at what will likely remain the lowest price for quite some time. After the console’s initial announcement, Gameseek was selling pre-orders of the Switch for only £198.50, which ended up being far cheaper than the system’s final retail price announced in January. Nonetheless, Gameseek decided to honor the orders of everyone who pre-ordered at that price.

Today, people all over the world are receiving their Switch orders, and Gameseek decided to add in a little something extra – a certificate for “being part of the historic event and securing a Nintendo Switch in Gameseek’s £80 lower than RRP (£279.99) offer.”

There are two really interesting new additions to Nintendo’s Japanese website: a Legend of Zelda portal and a Mario portal.

You can learn more about each series’ characters and games there. The Legend of Zelda portal is especially interesting since it also features behind-the-scenes info like artwork and production notes (though that section is a bit bare at the moment). There’s also a section that’s not available yet called “Keywords”, marked as “coming soon”. You will likely be able to find infos about recurring themes and names from the Legend of Zelda series there, like the Triforce or the Master Sword.

With all the new weapons, maps, songs etc being added to Splatoon 2, it’s probably not the biggest surprise that we’ll be getting some new clothing brands as well. The Japanese Splatoon Twitter account has now officially revealed the first one – “Emperi” (or possibly “Empery”). It’s described as a casual, sporty street fashion brand and judging by the screenshot above, it certainly fits that image.
