Dragon Quest X reconfirmed for NX
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 36 Comments
During Square Enix’s special Dragon Quest presentation last July, the publisher indicated that two games in the series would be heading to NX. Those titles in question were the already-released tenth entry as well as the upcoming Dragon Quest XI. There was a tad bit of uncertainty regarding both games on NX following the presentation, but this week’s issue of Famitsu offers a confirmation.
The magazine spoke with director Jin Fujisawa and producer Yosuke Saito as the series celebrated its fourth anniversary last week. In the interview, Saito specifically mentioned NX and PlayStation 4 as being the “climax” of Dragon Quest X. Of course, there were no specifics about how the online RPG will play on Nintendo’s new system.

More information on Puzzle & Dragons X’s sales debut in Japan
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Puzzle & Dragons X debuted in Japan last week. Between July 28 and July 31, the game sold around 87,000 copies. Media Create does’t have any extra data, but Dengeki did post a few extra tidbits.
Puzzle & Dragons X came in two versions. The split was 45,000 copies for the “God Chapter” version and 42,000 units for “Dragon Chapter”. The sell-through rate was roughly 45 percent.
Unfortunately, Puzzle & Dragons X struggled mightily when compared to the 2013 predecessor Puzzle & Dragons X. That game saw sales of 1.53 million copies, so the point we are looking here would be how far this one can capture potential users.
Lots of new Monster Hunter Stories details and screenshots – characters, Otomon, equipment, areas
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Screenshots | 1 Comment
Famitsu has a big update on Monster Hunter Stories this week. The magazine reveals new characters, areas, details on equipment, and more.
Some of this information has now been reflected on the official website as well. Here are a bunch of screenshots based on the coverage:
The first page of Famitsu’s article goes over the hunter Rivelt and his felyne Popola. He is voiced by Sugita Tomokazu.
Rivelt may look lazy normally, but when he goes out to hunt, his sharp observation eyes and experience always gain him results. He likes to act alone, and is considered to be an aloof hunter by people around him.
