Winning Post 8 2018, the latest entry in the horse-racing simulation series, has been announced for Switch. Changes in this version include new horse training systems as well as new events and new characters. It will be released on March 15th, 2018. A Western localization seems extremely unlikely, so this game will likely stay Japan-only.

Publisher DMM Games has announced that Gal Metal will launch on the Switch in Japan on February 8 next year. The drum-focused rhythm game, which was revealed at TGS in September, is only getting a Japanese release at this point, but since the Switch is region-free, anyone who’s interested in the game can just access the Japanese eShop to buy the game once it’s out. Gal Metal will cost 4,980 Yen.

The latest issue of Famitsu has shared a listing of the top 30 best-selling games in Japan for the month of October 2017 (including digital sales for Super Mario Odyssey). You can check out the full results below.

Nintendo has announced that they will be holding a The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild live stream on Japanese video service NicoNico on December 12th at 9PM JST. The main purpose of this stream seems to be a segment called “Player’s Voice”, during which experiences, stories and adventures by players from their time with Breath of the Wild will be shared. Of course, given the timing of this stream, it’s also possible that this will be the first time we get to see the upcoming Champions’ Ballad DLC, which at the moment still has a fairly vague release window of “December”. It’s not a certainty by any means that this live stream will talk about the DLC in any way, but if they do, you will hear about it from us.
