Nintendo has ported quite a few of its previous games to Switch, but not many probably would have predicted that Miitopia would get a second shot on the system. Yet earlier this week, it was announced that the 3DS title is returning on the Big N’s current console. Although it’s largely the same RPG as it was on 3DS, the Switch version will have some additional elements like makeup and wigs for Mii customization.
What might be even more interesting about Miitopia on Switch is the developer behind it. Apparently, the porting task has been given to Grezzo. That’s according to the official UK website, which credits the studio alongside Nintendo.

Grezzo has worked on a few different Zelda games in recent years, including the Switch remake of Link’s Awakening. The developer is now hiring for a new project that is described as “medieval” and “stylish”.
In a job listing for one programmer, it’s indicated that the game will use Unity, VisualStudio, git, redmine, and jenkins. The staffer would be involved from the ground floor with the planning team (so it’s more than just programming). Grezzo is looking for someone with experience in Unity with C#, someone who likes games, and can great things with the player mindset.

During the Q&A session of Nintendo’s latest financial results briefing, president Shuntaro Furukawa said “many” buyers picked up Link’s Awakening alongside the Switch Lite. Although sales have been high from core gamers, it’s expected that this could change as the consumer base expands.

Luigi’s Mansion 3DS sold through 45% of its initial shipment in Japan

A couple of weeks after it appeared in the west, the 3DS remake of Luigi’s Mansion has debuted in Japan. In its first week, the game sold about 27,000 copies. Dengeki further reports a sell-through rate of 45%.
Dengeki adds that Luigi’s Mansion’s initial sales seem a bit slow given the performance of Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon. The latter game sold nearly 350,000 copies in its first week and over one million overall.
We do have to remember a couple of things here. First, many players have moved on from 3DS to Switch. We also have to keep in mind that this is ultimately a remake. It’ll be interesting to see how Luigi’s Mansion 3 does in 2019.
