It was recently made known that, in Japan, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 would be out this fall. Bandai Namco has since confirmed the same window for North America as well.
The publisher just tweeted:

We don’t have any news for Europe just yet. However, the game will almost certainly be dropping this fall in PAL regions as well.
Toys “R” Us restocked Switch at its stores across the United States yesterday. Over at Best Buy, the retailer will have units as well. Gray and neon units will apparently be on hand.
Best Buy’s Twitter page told one consumer the following:
@hjppearl Stores will have limited quantities of the consoles and they will be available for purchase on May 21st. ^Megan

If you’re planning on going to Best Buy tomorrow, you may want to show up before the store opens. You may also want to call ahead of time to confirm the restock.
Atlus uploaded a second trailer for Etrian Mystery Dungeon 2 ahead of its Japanese launch on August 31. View the video below.
Nintendo’s Japanese Twitter page and blog have a few extra details about ARMS Global Testpunch. The online demo will begin towards the end of next week.
To reiterate, seven fighters are included: Spring Man, Ribbon Girl, Master Mummy, Ninjara, Mechanica, Min Min, and Helix. With each one, you can choose from their standard ARMS. It’s also possible to play the demo with one or two players with a single Switch unit. The ARMS Global Testpunch can be experienced with the Party Match mode, including V-Ball.
When connecting with players in lobbies, versus rules will be automatically selected. It also looks like there’s a “Warm Up” option and the ability to change your fighter while waiting.
During a live stream held today, Atlus showcased new footage from Etrian Mystery Dungeon 2 on 3DS. We’ve posted the relevant recording below.

NIS America published a demo for Disgaea 5 Complete on the Switch eShop this week. If you’re on the fence, it’s a good opportunity to try out the strategy RPG.
Some information was floating around that it’s possible to transfer progress over to the full game. But unfortunately, NIS America said on Twitter that it’s not actually possible. You can save in the demo itself, but data can’t be moved over to the retail release.
NIS America passed along the news on Twitter:
We'd like to confirm the save feature of #Disgaea5Complete's demo. The save data cannot be transferred to the full game.

You are able to save during the demo, however. We apologize for the miscommunication with some fans earlier. Thanks for your understanding!

Nintendo ended this week’s ARMS Direct with a new trailer for Splatoon 2 highlighting Hero Mode, the game’s single-player campaign. The series’ Japanese Twitter account has since shared some additional details and images.
Marie is not only a member of Squid Sisters, but also agent 2 of New Squidbeak Splatoon. She is keeping a close watch on the Octarians while Cap’n Cuttlefish is away. As indicated by this week’s trailer, agent 4 does not know of the Squid Sisters.
The first pure gameplay from Mighty Gunvolt Burst was just shown on a BitSummit 2017 live stream. We’ve gone ahead and posted the recording below.
