Square Enix: Switch version of Dragon Quest XI still coming, can’t comment on release date today
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch | 18 Comments
Earlier today, we learned that the 3DS version of Dragon Quest XI will launch on July 29th in Japan. Nothing was said about the Switch version in the announcement stream though. However, journalist Takashi Mochizuki reached out to Square Enix regarding the Switch version of the game and received the following reply:
“It is still planned but no announcements today. Whether it launches together on the same day as PS4 and 3DS or not we cannot say today.”
A fairly noncommittal reply – at this point it seems unlikely that the Switch version will launch on July 29th as well, though Square Enix aren’t ruling it out.

Nintendo’s HackerOne program extended to Switch; first bounties paid
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS, News, Switch | 5 Comments
In December of last year, Nintendo announced that it teamed up with HackerOne in order to find security flaws and vulnerabilities concerning the 3DS. Anyone can submit a report detailing such flaws, and if Nintendo deems it significant enough, they will pay the person who submitted the report a bounty ranging from $100 to $20,000, depending on various factors.
Last month, Nintendo extended this deal to include Switch security flaws, specifically the following:
- System vulnerabilities regarding Nintendo Switch
- Privilege escalation from userland
- Kernel takeover
- ARM® TrustZone® takeover
- Vulnerabilities regarding Nintendo-published applications for Nintendo Switch
- Userland takeover
It seems like the program is working, since today Nintendo has rewarded three people with a bounty (the sum was not disclosed).

Square Enix will soon be hosting its Dragon Quest XI Release Date Presentation live stream. As the name implies, we’re expecting the RPG to be given a final date in Japan – at least on 3DS. It’ll be interesting to see if Square Enix talks about the Switch version of the game or holds off until sometime in the future.
You can watch the Dragon Quest XI Release Date Presentation as it happens below. It should begin in about an hour from now.

XSEED is a big Switch supporter, will be making announcements “soon”
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 26 Comments
XSEED often tends to support Nintendo platforms. Even when the Wii U was winding down, the publisher brought Shantae: Half-Genie Hero and Exile’s End to Wii U by working with WayForward and Magnetic Realms respectively.
With Switch, XSEED once again has plans to support a Nintendo system. A representative from the company told one fan that announcements will be made “soon”. Although, mysteriously, “it may not specifically be for the titles and series you’re looking for.”
XSEED said:
“We are big supporters of the Switch so you’ll definitely be seeing some announcements about it from us soon, though it may not specifically be for the titles and series you’re looking for.”
