Ever since Dragon Quest XI was confirmed for Switch – which was quite a long time ago at this point – we’ve been wondering what sort of game it would be. Many had assumed that it would be based on the PlayStation 4 version, but Square Enix never actually came out with any sort of official word on that front. In fact, we’ve heard almost nothing about the Switch release.
The Unreal Fest East 2017 taking place in Japan today finally offers some notable information. Dragon Quest series creator Yuji Horii was in attendance, and strongly suggested that the Switch version will be based on the PlayStation 4 edition.

Super Mario Odyssey has a few different amiibo functions. We know that the new wedding versions of Mario, Peach, and Bowser have their own specialties. They grant temporary invincibility, provide a Life-Up Heart, and show the locations of regional coins respectively.
