Square Enix recently reconfirmed Dragon Quest X for NX. Now we can say the same about the series’ latest entry, Dragon Quest XI.
In this month’s issue of Nintendo Dream, Dragon Quest series creator Yuji Horii, Pokemon series producer Junichi Masuda, and Super Smash Bros. series director Masahiro Sakurai all participated in a roundtable discussion. At one point, the discussion shifted to Dragon Quest XI, and Horii said that the game will indeed be on NX. Moreover, it sounds like the goal is to have all versions launch simultaneously in order to avoid spoilers.

Nintendo-related games see increased sales from the holiday period in Japan
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 1 Comment
The Obon holiday period took place in Japan last week. During that time, several Nintendo titles were boosted on the sales charts.
Yo-kai Watch 3 sold 93,000 copies for both versions between August 8 and August 14, up 144.65 percent from the previous week. It has also now managed to surpass one million copies sold. Yo-kai Watch 3 is the first title from 2016 to reach that mark.
Also due to demand during Obon, mainstay Nintendo titles experienced increased sales. For example, Kirby: Planet Robobot sold 15,000 copies. That’s a 130.40 percent jump from the previous week.
It’s also worth mentioning that the Olympics gave a boost to Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. Across Wii U and 3DS, combined sales were at 18,000 copies. They sold 1.5 times more than last week.
