Last night’s Nintendo Direct was a shot in the arm for the console, as plenty of new games were announced, third-party titles were confirmed for the console and release dates were thrown at the screen. Here’s a breakdown of all the news that you might have missed, thanks to the Direct being held at the ungodliest of hours.

In 2018, we wanted to find the best from Japan and beyond, the games where we swapped spreadsheets and printer jams for swords and sorcery. It was a journey that took us across the world (but mostly to Japan go figure), as we delved deep into dungeons and explored tombs of another era. Here’s a look at the treasures that we unearthed, as well as the best RPG that we could lay our hands on this year.

Dragon Quest 11 falters in the pacing of its story and features an unimpressive OST but at the end of the day, this game is like getting together with an old friend and hanging out on a cool summer’s day; it’s familiar and oh so comforting.

Forget about Final Fantasy XV (at least for a little bit), Dragon Quest XI has been announced and it's coming to the best JRPG platforms.
