Square Enix showed a bit of brand new Dragon Quest XI footage during its Jump Festa stage show just a few minutes ago. Check out the gameplay below.
Square Enix showed the 3DS and PlayStation 4 versions of Dragon Quest XI during its presentation. The 3DS release seems to be its own thing, but it gets hazy when it comes to Switch. The thought currently is that the Switch edition will match up similarly to the PlayStation 4 title, though we’ll have to wait and see.
Square Enix is showing brand new images from Dragon Quest XI at the game’s Jump Festa 2017 stage show. View them in the gallery below.
Social news site Reddit is holding a Secret Santa event this year. Users were assigned a random person to give gifts to, and for one person in particular, she made out very well.
The Secret Santa for Aerrix, out of all people, was Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates. Now… why are we covering this here? The news itself is pretty incredible, but Gates actually packed in some Nintendo goodies. Aerrix received a plethora of items, but the ones we care about were nearly all Zelda-related: mittens (including matching ones for her dog), a tie blanket, and picture frame. If that wasn’t enough, Gates also sent the NES Classic Edition. Oh, and a paper version of the final form Master Sword from Skyward Sword.
Here are some of the photos and excerpts from Aerrix’s story:
Square Enix will be hosting a special stage show for Dragon Quest XI at Jump Festa 2017 in about 30 minutes. The event begins at 9 PM PT / 12 AM ET / 5 AM in the UK / 6 AM in Europe. You can watch the stage show as it happens below.
It’s unclear if Square Enix will be showing the 3DS version of Dragon Quest XI. However, even if the publisher only chooses to highlight the PS4 edition, it might be worthwhile to see since we’re expecting it to be very similar on Switch.

Two new pieces of concept art from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild ended up on the series’ official Facebook page just a short while ago. Both come straight from the development team. We have a look at the new images above.
Wii U owners have nothing to worry about when it comes to the release of Sneaky Ninja. In a Kickstarter update, Starfall Studios said that Sneaky Ninja is still targeted for the console. Although other companies have been pulling away from Wii U, the indie developer still wants to make it happen after the long wait for Kickstarter backers and being a fan of Nintendo.
That being said, Switch is still on the table as a possibility down the road. Starfall Studios will first need to launch the game – which could take place in February – and then bring it to Wii U shortly after.
Starfall Studios wrote on Kickstarter:
Update (12/16): Cypronia has now set a release date of January 5 for North America. We also have the following trailer:
Original (12/15): A bizarre-looking game is heading to the European Wii U eShop next week. Zombie Brigade: No Brain No Gain, published by Cypronia, will be out on December 22. Pricing is set at €4.99.
Here’s a look at the eShop listing:

If nothing else, we’ll remember Zombie Brigade: No Brain No Gain as one of the stranger titles on the Wii U eShop.
