The official Japanese Twitter account shared more information today about Splatoon’s upcoming matchmaking options.

The game gathers four pairs of tagged people with similar ranks. The 2-person groups are then randomly distributed to make two teams of four.

It may be a tad difficult to understand, but these images from the Twitter account should make things a tiny bit clearer:

Update: Square Enix’s official press release says that when it comes to Dragon Quest XI, the company is “considering launching on Nintendo’s in development NX platform”. Dragon Quest X isn’t mentioned in the statement, though the same probably holds true for Dragon Quest X. It’s likely that both games will be formally confirmed when NX is revealed next year.

NX hasn’t been officially revealed by Nintendo yet, but the system already has a pair of game announcements. Square Enix confirmed during the “Dragon Quest New Title Presentation” today that both Dragon Quest X and Dragon Quest XI are coming to the system.

We’re assuming that NX is a console, which means that Nintendo fans would be able to play both versions of Dragon Quest XI. Here’s a look at the PlayStation 4 version in action:

Square Enix hopes to have Dragon Quest XI ready to launch within the series’ 30th anniversary. Officially, that’s in May of next year.

Square Enix announced today that Dragon Quest XI is in development, and it’s coming to 3DS in addition to the PlayStation 4.

Producer Yosuke Saito said during a presentation held in Japan that the game will be a “standalone single-player game”. The 3DS version of Dragon Quest XI features the same story as the PlayStation 4 release.

Toy Logic, who assisted with the development of Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Kid Icarus: Uprising, is handling Dragon Quest XI for 3DS. Takeshi Uchikawa is directing. Akira Toriyama is handling character designs, and Koichi Sugiyama is working on the game’s soundtrack.

The 3DS version of Dragon Quest XI naturally looks quite a bit different to its PS4 counterpart. The top screen featured 3D images while the touch screen has sprites. Battles take place in both 2D and 3D.

Take a look at the first gameplay of Dragon Quest XI on 3DS below.

Square Enix is targeting Dragon Quest XI for release within the franchise’s 30th anniversary, which is in May of next year.

Nintendo is adding a whole bunch of content to Splatoon next week. Players can look forward to a level map increase, plus new matchmaking options, gear, and weapon types.

In its announcement today, Nintendo teased a sushi-chef costume as one of the upcoming outfits. But perhaps we already know what it will look like.

Does the image above look familiar? We actually posted it a few weeks back. That’s the winning entry for Famitsu’s recent contest, and what’s pictured above was the winning entry created by a fan. It was previously stated that this sushi-chef costume would be added to Splatoon in August, so there’s a very good chance we’ll be seeing it in-game next week.

Thanks to Matt for the tip.
