It seems like Nintendo is pulling out all the stops for the big Switch event at Tokyo Big Sight in January. In addition to being able to try out the Switch for themselves, attendees will also get to experience various concerts.

A rock band put together by Nintendo will perform twice on January 14th and once on January 15th. They will perform various video game tunes. Finally, a big band will perform on January 15th to cap off the event. They will also perform video game-themed music.

We first heard about Piggyback’s plans for a Zelda: Breath of the Wild guide yesterday. The company has now posted another message on Twitter, giving us a much clearer image. Additionally, we have confirmation that three editions are planned: “Deluxe”, “Collector”, and “Regular”.

If nothing else, hopefully the guide news is a sign that Zelda: Breath of the Wild is launching sooner rather than later. Despite the rumors of a summer release, having it ready at Switch’s launch would be fantastic.

Image & Form posted the latest episode of The Engine Room today. The studio talked about – or rather teased – its plans for 2017, including the next SteamWorld game.

It would appear that the proper announcement of the new project isn’t too far off, as it will actually be shown at PAX East in March. SteamWorld Quest should be the name going off of what we heard a few months ago, though it’s not officially set in stone.

Watch the full episode of The Engine Room below.

A Twitter message reveals that Piggyback is working with Nintendo on a guide for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. For the time being, we only have the image above to share – which shows that it’s shaping up quite nice so far. If we hear anything else about the guide, we’ll let you know.

Dragon Quest XI may have been shown off at Jump Festa last week, but Square Enix isn’t done sharing news about the game. The latest issue of V Jump offers up even more with additional images and details.

First, here are the new details:

– The protagonist has a strangely shaped birthmark on his left hand; something happens when it glows
– Emma is a close friend of the protagonist who says she’ll undergo the ritual to climb “God’s Rock” with him
– V Jump asks, “What is it that they see there?”
– The Great Tree of Life floats in the center of the world
– It is said the hero can commune with the soul of the Great Tree
– The protagonist’s home village of Ishi is a small and quiet village located in the valley
– In battle, the 3DS version shows both the party and monsters in 3D mode, and just the monsters in 2D mode

And now for the scans:

Following the big Switch presentation on January 12th/13th, Nintendo will be holding various preview events for press and fans all over the world. Yesterday, Nintendo announced that a total of three so-called “Fan Events” will take place in Germany, where people will get a chance to try out the Switch. Here are the details for these events:

• January 13th, 9 AM: Frankfurt
• January 17th, 5 PM: Munich
• January 24th, 5 PM: Berlin

Nintendo is giving away 12×2 tickets for each of these events via My Nintendo. My Nintendo users with a permanent residence in Germany can take part in the ticket raffle here. Note that Nintendo is holding a separate raffle for each of the three events, and you can take part in all three of them if you wish.

Further details about these events have not yet been announced. It’s currently not known if they will be open to the public as well or if they will be invite-only. Also, the Frankfurt event will take place only 4 hours after the Switch presentation in Tokyo is scheduled to start, so it’ll be worth keeping an eye on that one especially for early impressions of the Switch.
