In 2013, GungHo Online Entertainment released Puzzle & Dragons Z on the 3DS. It followed this up in 2015 with a local release of the game and also added in a special Nintendo-themed bonus title: Puzzle & Dragons Z: Super Mario Bros. Edtion.
Now, GungHo has announced it will release Puzzle & Dragons Gold for Nintendo Switch later this year in North America. This particular entry in the series is a competitive player-verse-player multiplayer game and intends to retain the gameplay of the popular free-to-play mobile title as well as the visual style of the anime.
The original Puzzle & Dragons teams will be collaborating on the project, but apart from this, not much else is known at this point in time. GungHo is the same company responsible for Ninjala, which was recently delayed until early next year.
Visit the official Japanese teaser website for Puzzle & Dragons Gold, or else you can find out more information about Puzzle & Dragons series on the local GungHo website. Also, be sure to check out our review of the two-in-one 3DS release.

Wait, this game had an anime?.............
I played a ton of Puzzle & Dragons Z on the 3DS, it was pretty great. I hope being multiplayer focused isn't at the expense of a single player experience. Interested to learn more.
@patbacknitro18 I'm shocked too, I had no idea. The game was decent though.
I played the mobile game for a few months when I started my current job. It was popular among the students so it meant I could talk to them about something they enjoyed. It always blows their mind when a teacher actually knows more than the name of a game they like. But I never really got into it that much.
This game was perfected on the the 3DS with the precision of the stylus. I don't think I could go back to imprecise finger swipes and this game would be a disaster with a joycon.
Yes this is awesome! I loved Puzzle & Dragons Z on the 3DS and I'm so happy it's finally coming to Nintendo Switch! It's a good thing I upgraded my D3 P-E-T to D5 P-E-T today in time! Thank you so much!
@Muddy_4_Ever There is a stylus for the Switch, but it's sold separately.
@Muddy_4_Ever A universal stylus will probably be ideal for this one. That's how I played Sushi Striker.
....Really hope there's SOME way to play docked...anyways this was a random surprise. Anyways, they better use the joycon IR sensor thing when playing on the TV...>.<
Also, is this going to be a new game entirely? Or is this X?
EDIT: ....Where does it say that it's coming to the west, anyways? I can't find anything...
Always wanted to try this.
Wow, this sounds super neat! I love this franchise, and competitive play seems super promising!
I played the 3DS version and...eh, it was alright. There was some pretty cool stuff, but it was definitely grindy and too focused on lucky drops for my taste.
Yes, I liked the Puzzles and Dragons Z part of the 3DS game but I’m really looking forward to this release. And for sure I’ll be playing Ninjala next year on my GBA!
