Bandai Namco has set a release date for the Conton City Vote Pack in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, the game’s latest DLC. Fans will be able to get their hands on it starting July 7, 2022. Note that an update will be going live the day before that.
New playable characters, extra missions, parallel quests, skills, costumes, and more are planned. Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 previously revealed Dyspo and Goku (Ultra Instinct -Sign-), but we now know that Vegeta (GT) is on the way as well. He’s focused on strikes and close-ranged attacks, so he’s a bit different than previous versions of the character.
Here’s a rundown of his moves:

Nintendo has decide to share yet another track from the upcoming Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Today’s highlighted track is titled “You Will Know Our Names – Finale”.
Fans of the series might recognize this title that mirrors Xenoblade Chronicles 1’s very own “You Will Know Our Names” track, a song that plays when confronting dangerous enemies named Unique Monsters. It seems this track will fulfill a similar purpose, adding some tension and excitement to those more challenging battles.
Capcom has announced that shipments and digital sales for Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak have already surpassed 2 million units globally. This is based on its combined sales for both the Switch and PC versions.
Furthermore, Capcom has also confirmed that the base game, Monster Hunter Rise, has sold over 10 million units globally, a success partially attributed to its series ongoing free updates, PC launch earlier this year and the release of Sunbreak itself. This is following up on prior announcements of the game breaching 8 million units sold in January and 9 million sold in May.

When the icons feature for Nintendo Switch Online kicked off a few months ago, Super Mario Odyssey was one of the earliest featured games. We’re now in July, and for this month, Nintendo has again decided to revisit the title rather than going with a brand new one.
While that’ll be disappointing to some, we’ll at least be seeing some new designs this time around. The first batch just went live and features Mario, Peach, and Bowser in wedding attire, 8-bit icons, and more. Icon elements will be rotated on a weekly basis each Monday until August 1.
In the recent Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase, we saw a good amount of new third-party games being announced for Switch, including some big ones such as NieR: Automata and Persona 3, 4 and 5.
As we are all aware, Switch is not as powerful as other consoles on the market. Usually its ports come to the console with some visual compromises. But even with those compromises, at least on Switch you are able to play these games wherever you want. However, with the recent release of Valve’s Steam Deck, it’s interesting to think about whether that can impact Switch’s position in the market.
In the video below I explain my reasons as to why I think Switch ports are still relevant and a viable option for a number of players. Feel free to check it out down below.
