Chucklefish shared the first official piece of music from Wargroove today. Have a listen to the game’s main theme below.
Just this past weekend we discussed the strange situation surrounding Dragon Quest XI on Switch. Even though the release on Nintendo’s new console was announced ages ago, Square Enix has yet to show or say anything about this version.
Executive producer Yu Miyake finally broke the silence in an interview with Toyo Keizai. According to Miyake, he explained that it takes time to work on “technical adjustments,” so Square Enix is still in a state in which it can’t speak about a launch date. However, the Switch version is being developed with the intent to release it.
Dragon Quest XI has already shipped on 3DS and PlayStation 4. A western release is planned for 2018, though Square Enix has been keeping quiet on which platforms it will be localizing.
July was a pretty good month for Nintendo in the UK. The big N was the top games company in terms of revenue generated with a 21.2 percent share of the boxed software market. The higher price of Switch software was a factor here, as was Splatoon 2. The Switch game was the highest charting new release of July, taking the second spot.
GamesIndustry points out that Switch made up 9.7 percent of all the physical games sold in July. And in terms of revenue, Switch held a 16.3 percent share of the market.
This month’s issue of Game Informer will have a huge feature on Pokemon developer Game Freak. The magazine visited the studio in Japan “to get the full history of the series and talk about what’s in store for the future on Switch.” Game Informer “explored deeper into Game Freak’s studio than any western outlet has ever been allowed and were able to not only see where Pokemon is made, but where its creators hold their meetings, eat lunch, and even create the series’ iconic soundtrack.” The new issue is packed with twelve pages “covering the studio’s history and read development stories for every core Pokémon RPG it has created.”
Aside from content in the magazine, Game Informer will have “written features and video interviews with Game Freak co-founder, producer, director, and composer, Junichi Masuda, and Sun and Moon’s director, Shigeru Ohmori.”

SEGA has announced a brand new mode for Sonic Mania. In the final game, players will be able to experience Competition Mode.
Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles are all playable here. Winners are determined by various factors, including clear time, score, number of items acquired, number of rings acquired when clearing the level, and total number of rings acquired throughout the level. Rules of each match can be adjusted by selecting items in the item boxes and number of rounds that take place.

As expected, CoroCoro does have a tiny bit of Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon coverage in its latest issue. However, the news seems to apply only to the Lycanroc Dusk Form.
Lycanroc Dusk Form will have the moves Accelrock and Counter, along with the ability Tough Claws. Players in Japan will also be able to receive a gift of Rockruff starting on November 17.
