Dragon Quest XI finally has a release date in Japan. On 3DS, the game is set to release on July 29.
Square Enix made today’s announcement during its Dragon Quest XI Release Date Presentation. However, it neglected to say when the Switch version will be made available.
It’ll take some time until Yooka-Laylee is ready on Switch, but Playtonic and Team17 are nonetheless having the initial launch today. The final video for the game is as follows:
Pokemon Sun/Moon’s fourth global mission just wrapped up. Now we have an idea about what the sixth event will entail, which begins later this month.
Pokemon Sun/Moon players will be tasked with harvesting Poke Beans from the Poke Pelago. Aside from that, we know that Pokemon Global Mission #5 begins on April 25. Stay tuned for more information.
Square Enix will soon be hosting its Dragon Quest XI Release Date Presentation live stream. As the name implies, we’re expecting the RPG to be given a final date in Japan – at least on 3DS. It’ll be interesting to see if Square Enix talks about the Switch version of the game or holds off until sometime in the future.

In an excellent display of both Nintendo fandom and musical talent, a portion of the soundtrack from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past has been remade with analogue synthesizers and drum machines. The end result is a truly fantastic rendition of one of the most iconic soundtracks in all of gaming.
Not only does the author of the album intend to work on recreating other SNES soundtracks, such as Donkey Kong Country and Earthbound, but royalties made through sales from this album will be given to composer Koji Kondo and Nintendo.
Switched On SNES is a series of soundtracks played on analog synthesizers and drum machines. The goal of the project is to expose listeners to the musical masterpieces that have been overlooked – mostly because of the 16bit instrumentation.
Link to the Past is the first installment of soundtracks which will include: Secret of Mana, Earthbound, Donkey Kong Country, and others. Royalties from sales will go towards the composer Koji Kondo/Nintendo.
You can check out the album below, and purchase it here.
