Square Enix will be hosting a special stage show for Dragon Quest XI at Jump Festa 2017 in about 30 minutes. The event begins at 9 PM PT / 12 AM ET / 5 AM in the UK / 6 AM in Europe. You can watch the stage show as it happens below.

It’s unclear if Square Enix will be showing the 3DS version of Dragon Quest XI. However, even if the publisher only chooses to highlight the PS4 edition, it might be worthwhile to see since we’re expecting it to be very similar on Switch.

Wii U owners have nothing to worry about when it comes to the release of Sneaky Ninja. In a Kickstarter update, Starfall Studios said that Sneaky Ninja is still targeted for the console. Although other companies have been pulling away from Wii U, the indie developer still wants to make it happen after the long wait for Kickstarter backers and being a fan of Nintendo.

That being said, Switch is still on the table as a possibility down the road. Starfall Studios will first need to launch the game – which could take place in February – and then bring it to Wii U shortly after.

Starfall Studios wrote on Kickstarter:

Update: Bumped to the top. There are some discrepancies in these reports. Business intelligence and analyst firm App Annie says Super Mario Run was downloaded an estimated 3.5 million times in the U.S. alone in its first 14 hours.

Original: Super Mario Run was downloaded on 2.85 million devices in its first day, data from Apptopia reveals. It managed to surpass Pokemon GO, which only had 900,000 downloads during its first 24 hours.

It is important to point out that Pokemon GO had more of a staggered launch whereas Super Mario Run was issued worldwide. Hitting three million downloads is still an impressive feat, however.
