During Nintendo's E3 Direct, it was revealed that Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition (which still needs a bit of a title trim, in our opinion) is headed to Switch this September. Not content with having just a release date announcement, Square Enix has also revealed a juicy looking Switch hardware bundle set to release on the very same day.
Called the 'Dragon Quest XI S Loto Edition', the bundle comes with a custom designed Switch and dock, Dragon Quest-themed Joy-Con, a Joy-Con grip, an AC adaptor, HDMI cable, and a safety guide. It'll also include what is apparently called a 'Gorgeous Edition' of the game which features all of the following and an even longer title.
Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age – Definitive Edition (Gorgeous Edition):
- A physical copy of the game (with a gorgeous sleeve)
- Voice Drama downloadable content (full story set)
- Japanese / English voice switching downloadable content
- Gorgeous Edition bonus downloadable content
--- Kingdom of Trodain Set (changes the appearance of the protagonist)
--- Wild Boar Set (changes the appearance of Veronica)
--- Happy Adventurer Set (Pep pop x5, Seed of skill x5)
Yesterday, we also shared the news that Square Enix is releasing a special Hori-made Slime controller for the Switch. It's definitely not a bad time to be a Dragon Quest fan, although it's worth noting that all of the products mentioned above are only currently destined for Japan. You'll need to get your importing game on if you want any of these.
Do you like the Switch design? Are you mad enough about Dragon Quest to go ahead and import one? Let us know in the usual place.

I'm happy with a special edition of the game. I already have the console. But a nice collector's edition would be great.
I wish it was easier to buy different colored joy cons. These blue slime ones are awesome!!
WOW. These have to be the sexiest JoyCons so far!?
Gorgeous indeed. Not fussed by the DQ scribbles but would love some plain joycon in that shade of blue.
Joy-cons please. Thank you very much. In fact, just more cool Joy-con designs in general please.
Indigo color Joy Cons ?! 😍
I don't need another Switch although this one looks very nice. But I do wish the Gorgeous Edition of the game would release in North America. But with Nintendo these days, good luck getting a decent Special Edition over here. They save that stuff now solely for Japan and Europe.
bruh i ain't even like Dragon Quest but they always get the best hardware like this.... also why tf wasn't the Slime the character that made it into Smash instead of 4 more random light skin anime sword boys
Oh, was looking to get Blue Joycons for my Switch.
So happy to see Nintendo going all out for DQ. Fantastic game - deserves to be a 1 Million+ seller again in Japan!
Why does Japan get all the cool stuff?! I really hope that there will be an option to just get the blue joycons. They look absolutely beautiful, and I need a new pair anyway.
Saving my coins for one hopefully this one stays in stock for a little while.

Until they start doing something interesting with the docks besides a last minute graphic slapped on, these special editions will feel “eh” to me.
How difficult could it be to have some colored plastic put into the dock mould?
Not gonna lie. I need those joy con.
Looks great!
I’m still surprised they aren’t releasing a Fire Emblem edition. I’d double dip for that.
why can we not get colored docks?
I've been waiting for darker blue joy-cons. Can we just get these color joycons released separately?
Why do these docks never have any colour on them?
The system looks nice, but what I'm really interested in are those joy-cons. Hopefully there'll be a way to import. They're my favorite shade of blue.
@ReaderRagfish how did I know you'd be the first to comment on this article? 😂
Managed to get a preorder of this on amazon japan. £400 quid though but worth it. This is the best limited edition console yet. Can't wait to get it. Does anyone know if the dlc that comes with this can work with a UK copy of the game?
Love those blue Joycons! Not buying a whole new Switch for them though.
No new model Switch this year then. This doesn’t necessarily mean a Mini couldn’t still be revealed for this holiday season but definitely signals that there’s no refined full size model about to be revealed.
@mattesdude This baffles me to no end, just gives us some color choice of joycons Nintendo. Not only can you customize your switch, it also fills a function since games can display the right color on screen.
If I were back in my heyday, when I bought 12 different 3DS special editions and models for display, I'd grab this in a heartbeat.
But ol Jax is starting to settle down with all that spending. Or rather, I'm buying so many Switch games nowadays I dont want to add even more on top of it
@Braz_OS Maybe because, as you said, you're not a fan of Dragon Quest?
What you said is the equivalent of someone complaining that Mario is in Smash, and that they should have put in a Goomba instead.
