Dragon Ball FighterZ

Switch is getting its first Dragon Ball game soon, though not the newest one. Bandai Namco is bringing Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 in September.

Bandai Namco and Arc System Works unveiled the brand new Dragon Ball FighterZ at E3 last month. Switch was not included as one of the confirmed platforms. However, in one interview, Dragon Ball FighterZ producer Tomoko Hiroki indicated that a Switch release might be possible if fans showed interest.

The Switch Splatoon 2 Splat & Chat Headset doesn’t officially release until a few days from now, but the accessory is already out in the world. Get a closer look at it below with an unboxing video.

Zmart, a retailer in Chile, posted a few interesting Splatoon 2 images on Twitter. The first thing we’re able to see is the cartridge. The retailer also shows images of a reversible cover. It’s unclear if the cover is just being offered by Zmart, though we’re hoping it’s something that will be extended in all major territories.
