● Dragon Quest XI: Sugisarishi Toki o Motomete is now available in Japan on the eShop and at retail in a few hours time. Yuji Horii confirmed the game will be localised as Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age in 2018 although no platforms were confirmed.
● Nippon Ichi will publish the adventure puzzle game The Sexy Brutale for Nintendo Switch in Japan in the Fall priced at ¥2,160. Expect confirmation for a western release in the near future.
● Capcom reported 450,000 sales of Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers and are planning more ‘Switch version titles’. Thanks to Takashi Mochizuki.

● The Dualie Squelchers will be added to Splatoon 2 tomorrow at 11:00 JST. The Sub Weapon is the Point Sensor and the Special Weapon the Super Missile.
● Splatoon was amazingly the best-selling Wii U eShop for the past week in Japan, presumably due to people unable to buy a Nintendo Switch and Splatoon 2! Full charts here.
