Serebii Posted December 19, 2016 Author Posted December 19, 2016 Got confirmed for Switch on Nintendo Japan's website yesterday
liger05 Posted December 19, 2016 Posted December 19, 2016 Interested to know when the switch release will be. Hoping it's not a lot later than the 3ds/ps4 versions.
Sheikah Posted December 19, 2016 Posted December 19, 2016 Interested to know when the switch release will be. Hoping it's not a lot later than the 3ds/ps4 versions. My concern is the amount of time to make that version. 3DS has its own version that runs on its hardware, and PS4 has its own version too that matches its hardware. If there is a NX version it will be more than a port, as it will need to be developed to match the hardware since it almost certainly can't handle the base PS4 game (much like CoD games needed their own Wii version).
Ike Posted December 19, 2016 Posted December 19, 2016 Here's the sauce: https://topics.nintendo.co.jp/c/article/839af1b5-c284-11e6-9aaf-063b7ac45a6d.html Feels a bit weird they revealed it this way. I get the feeling they got asked about it a lot.
Hero-of-Time Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 Release date to be announced on 11th April via a stream.
Hero-of-Time Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 July release for Japan. No real word on the Switch version of the game other than it's still on the cards. Mochizuki asked about the Switch version. The reply: "It is still planned but no announcements today. Whether it launches together on the same day as PS4 and 3DS or not we cannot say today". I wonder why they are remaining tight lipped about the thing?
Nolan Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 I wonder why they are remaining tight lipped about the thing? The toxicity of pre-order culture. Don't want to cannabalize possible preorders for other systems when they can likely release it later and successfully double dip. That's my guess.
liger05 Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 Should never of it announced it for Switch when still they can't even announce a release date. We've seen no screens, no videos add now no release date. Pretty ridiculous.
Dcubed Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 That's a LOT earlier than I had expected! Especially for the PS4 version which, prior to this trailer, looked like nothing more than a basic tech demo. Perhaps the Switch version might still come out this year after all? (especially if it's just a port of the PS4 one and not a unique version - would be cool if it swapped between the PS4 version on the TV and the 3DS one in Handheld mode!)
Grazza Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 Looks phenomenal. Like IX, but with a full list of proper characters to choose from. What on Earth is that bit at 2:04 though?
khilafah Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 Should never of it announced it for Switch when still they can't even announce a release date. We've seen no screens, no videos add now no release date. Pretty ridiculous. Yeah there is still huge question marks over switch version. Pretty ridiculous we still have no idea which version it will be.
Grazza Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 Hopefully the Switch release is just a slightly less impressive version of the PS4 game. I'm going to buy the 3DS version, but also want to play the PS4 game (as close as I can get it) on the Switch in handheld mode.
khilafah Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 Is there a possibility that the 3DS version won't be localised?
Grazza Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 Is there a possibility that the 3DS version won't be localised? It's possible, but I reckon there's money in both. The expenditure would be translating the story (which seems to be the same across the board). Hopefully releasing both will be some easy-ish money for Nintendo/Square-Enix.
Ike Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 3D view looks really good. Too bad I'll be playing it in 2D. :p
Hero-of-Time Posted June 19, 2017 Posted June 19, 2017 A Japan only Direct will be shown for the game on 21st June. [TWEET]876713242315243520[/TWEET]

Hero-of-Time Posted December 14, 2017 Posted December 14, 2017 Seeing as its a Japan only event, it's gotta be the reveal of the Switch version. 3
Blade Posted December 14, 2017 Posted December 14, 2017 This reminds me that i have VII and VIII waiting to be played on 3DS. Ive yet to play a DQ game.
Hero-of-Time Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 The release date for the PS4 and Steam versions were announced today but still no sign of the Switch version and the 3DS version looks like it will be staying in Japan. http://uk.ign.com/articles/2018/03/28/dragon-quest-11-ps4-and-pc-release-date-announced-switch-coming-much-later-no-3ds-version 1 2
