After it originally released on PlayStation, Dragon Quest 7 came to Nintendo 3DS about a decade ago with a remake. Square Enix has now decided to revisit it once more with a second remake, Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined for Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch, which features its own visual style and makes various gameplay adjustments.

Alongside the launch of Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined, we caught up with producer Takeshi Ichikawa to learn a bit more about the project. Aside from talking about the game itself, Ichikawa spoke about why it’s the right time to bring back the RPG again.

You can find our full discussion below.

Nintendo recently shared new data revealing the best-selling games on the Japanese Switch 2 and Switch eShops for January 2026.

The top title on Nintendo Switch 2 was actually one that hadn’t been released – which was Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined. Simply through pre-loads alone, it managed to come out on top. But Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade was one game that was new, and that cracked the top five. Dynasty Warriors: Origins is in the top ten as well.

The full lineup of Japan’s best-selling games on the Switch 2 and Switch eShops for January 2026 is as follows:

At the time of writing, an official Pokemon Presents hasn’t been officially announced – but there’s no way it won’t be, right? The Pokemon Company has held a Pokemon Day broadcast every single year for as long as we can remember, and 2026 will be no exception. Be sure to clear your calendar, because the presentation is generally held at around 9 AM EST on February 27 each year. Each broadcast follows a similar format, which makes predicting them fairly straightforward. This year, we fully expect the tenth generation of Pokemon to be revealed for Nintendo Switch 2 – it’s been four years since Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, and it seems Pokemon Legends: Z-A is done getting updates and new content now that the Mega Dimension DLC has released. So here are our (very safe) predictions and wishes for Pokemon Day, the Pokemon Presents, and the tenth generation of Pokemon. It’ll be interesting to see how much of this comes true!
