Nintendo has shared a new Dragon Quest XI S trailer highlighting two of the game’s characters. View a video for Erik and Sylvando below.

It’s no secret that Shovel Knight has done very well on Nintendo platforms. The game sold well on Wii U despite the platform’s overall disappointing performance and it managed to sell another truckload of copies on Switch a few years later. Based on how Shovel Knight has sold on Nintendo systems and Switch in particular, it’s no surprise that Yacht Club Games is very much interested in that console going forward.

Speaking with GamesIndustry, Yacht Club COO James Chan said the following about Shovel Knight and how it was one of the first wave of third-party games on Switch as well as Wii U:

Bandai Namco and Arc System Works have readied a new Dragon Ball FighterZ character trailer highlighting the addition of Gogeta (SSGSS). Watch it below.

Gogeta (SSGSS) will be available in Dragon Ball FighterZ starting September 26.

According to a GamesIndustry report, the Switch Lite sold roughly 13,500 units during its first week in the UK.

While that may seem like a low number, debut sales were not expected to be high. The device should pick up steam closer to Christmas, as was the case for the 2DS. That portable system sold 200,000 units in about two months, though sales primarily increased after the October half-term holiday.

As for Switch in general, it’s sitting at a total of around 1.9 million units sold since launch. It’s slightly better than the 3DS, which reached 1.9 million sales by the end of November 2013.
