Bandai Namco

System: Switch
Release date: September 22, 2017
Developer: Dimps
Publisher: Bandai Namco


The illustrious Dragon Ball franchise by the brilliant mind of Akira Toriyama still goes strong today over 30 years later thanks to its unforgettable characters, world, and expansions into realms of other media such as films, video games, and more, including its brand new anime follow-up Dragon Ball Super. Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 takes the core concept and canon of the series and adds a twist to it, giving players a “what if” scenario by having them right the wrongs of altered history as a Time Patroller – a character which you’ll create before starting the game to serve as your primary avatar on your journey through time. Unlike other titles that have you reliving the show, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 feels like a fresh take on the series.

At least for now, Bandai Namco has no plans to bring Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet to Switch. Producer Yosuke Futami recently explained why.

According to Futami, the team targeted all high-end consoles to reach as many players as possible. Currently there are no plans for a Switch version, which is in large part because the console didn’t exist when development started three years ago. Futami did say that if many fans request a Switch version, it could be considered.

One of the elements in One Piece: Unlimited World Red Deluxe Edition is that the game features a ton of DLC bundled in from the original game. Bandai Namco shows this off in the trailer below.

Bandai Namco remains invested in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2. As we found out with the latest issue of V Jump, new DLC is in development. Bandai Namco has confirmed that the content is coming to the west this fall, and a free update is planned.

We do know that Dabura and Buu (Gohan Absorbed) are headlining the DLC as playable DLC. Zamasu will also be around to teach created characters his attacks as a master / mentor.

First screenshots of the DLC in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 are below.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2

Just like in Japan, Bandai Namco is including content from the first Dragon Ball Xenoverse in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 for Switch and offering it in in the west. The process of gaining access is just slightly different.

For the Japanese release, Bandai Namco had the Dragon Ball Xenoverse 1 content built right in. Once you cleared certain sections of the story in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, you’re able to access segments from the original by talking to a particular NPC. But from what we understand, for the western version, you first need to download the a pack from the eShop.

Pokken Tournament DX

The European launch trailer for Pokken Tournament DX went live earlier today, and the North American version has come in as well. We have it attached below.

Pokken Tournament DX launched on Switch today. Along with the release, an update has been made available. The game is now at version 1.0.1.

The update isn’t terribly exciting, but Pokken Tournament DX did just come out after all. Nintendo’s lone patch note states: “Adjustments have been made to make for a more pleasant gaming experience.”
