Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 will have a slight discount when it launches on Switch in a couple of months. Based on listings from retailers such as Amazon, pricing will be set at $50. Most retail games on Switch tend to cost $60, but it makes sense to lower Xenoverse 2 given that it’s been out on other platforms for some time. A steeper discount would have likely been preferred by many, though Amazon Prime members can at least nab it for $40.
Bandai Namco confirmed the western release date for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 on Switch yesterday. In both North America and Europe, the game lands on September 22.
Miitomo has been updated with new content. Players can nab the latest items in the Miitomo Drop stage, “The depths of beauty! Marine Fantasy #2”.

– Frilly ribbon bikini bottom (set)
– Gradient bikini top (set)
– Gradient bikini bottom (set)
Users can select Miitomo Drop stages from the Shop tab. Miitomo coins or game tickets are needed to play.

Fire Pro Wrestling World could be a possibility for Switch. When asked about other potential platforms for the upcoming project, Switch was something director Tomoyuki Matsumoto specifically brought out. “Speaking for me personally, I would love to put the game on Switch,” he said.
The Fire Pro Wrestling is a classic series dating all the way back to the PC Engine and Super Famicom days. This new game has online play, a ton of customization, various modes, and more.
