Sports Day Update with Comgnet rankings, Dragon Quest XI Switch, ARMS update, Miitomo tidbits and more! 

● Just a brief update as it’s Sports Day in Japan! Image above copyright of Nintendo. Mario & Luigi RPG 1 DX will be the best selling title of the week topping all the Monday trackers. It sold 62 on COMG!. Pre-orders for Pokémon Ultra Sun Moon now total 427 with Super Mario Odyssey at 101.

● In-case you missed the major news from yesterday: Dragon Quest XI: Sugisarishi Toki o Motomete will be made with Unreal Engine 4.15 for Nintendo Switch.

● The ARMS Version 3.2 trailer is here featuring what looks like a new form for Spring Man. It should release later this month.

● In Miitomo news: the “Top of the class couture! Smart Dresser” stages are back (pictures here), new items have been added to the shop (pictured here). An eagle-eyed Jeffrey Francis also told us that ‘Answer Central questions now get posted once every 2 days, as opposed to once every 3 days’ (which means more Platinum Points) and that the ‘coin count displays correctly after answering sidekick questions’.

Fire Emblem Heroes has been updated to Version 1.8.0 making it easier to identify stages involved in quests, you can now jump directly to related stages from the quest list and it is now possible to jump to Edit Teams prior to entering a stage. The ‘Voting Gauntlet: The Blood of Dragons’ has also now begun.

● In Super Mario Run news: The appearance rate of 5★ items in the Bonus Game has increased until 23 October so more chance to get 5★ Mario, Peach or Bowser statues.

● The almost-five hour video from the Nintendo World Championships 2017 is here and sees some new Super Mario Odyssey footage from around 4:44:22.

● A Poisoft livestream featuring 45 minutes of Order Land! talk and gameplay here.
