Dragon Quest XI S came out in Japan a few days ago, and in its first week, it sold just over 300,000 copies. Dengeki reports an initial sell-through rate of 65 percent.
The 3DS version of Dragon Quest XI sold 1.83 million units in its first week in Japan. Square Enix also moved another 1.4 million units of the PlayStation 4 version. Given that it’s been over two years since Dragon Quest XI originally appeared in Japan, Square Enix should be satisfied with how the Switch version is performing thus far.
A few days ago, Level-5 announced Yo-kai Watch 4++. We now have some additional information about what’s new, along with screenshots and art.

Here’s the full schedule:
Summoning Focus: Weekly Revival 18 is now live in Fire Emblem Heroes. 5-star Heroes who appeared before the start of Book II appear as focus Heroes, and the focus lineup changes each week.
Three Heroes quests are also available. Players have the chance to add the 3-star Jakob: Devoted Servant, Seth: Silver Knight, and Mathilda: Legendary Knight to their army by clearing these events.
As we’ve seen in the past, patents don’t always become actual products. That’s particularly evident with three Joy-Con filings uncovered by LetsGoDigital, which were applied for back in 2016.
