This month’s issue of V Jump has a very interesting tease about the future of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2.
The Japanese magazine shares first images and details about a new original character named Fuu. He could be a member of the demon clan, but that isn’t entirely confirmed just yet.
We knew that Phantasy Star Online 2 Cloud would be launching for Switch in Japan sometime in 2018. SEGA has now narrowed things down a bit further, confirming a release window of Spring 2018.
SEGA has shared the following information:
– No time-consuming downloads and constant updates since everything is on a cloud server
– Runs at 30 frames per second, but there may be lag depending on network conditions
– A stable Internet connection is required to play
– The Switch version cannot play quests with models outside of the PC version
– All accounts use the same SEGA ID, so Arks Cash and Star Gems can be shared across models
– Can switch between models as you please as long as you are not logged in at the same time

Mini Metro is in development for Switch, Radial Games and Dinosaur Polo Club have announced. The puzzle strategy game will be released on Nintendo’s console in early 2018.

We have a bunch of additional information and a trailer for Mini Metro below.
