Sonic Frontiers fishing Big the Cat

Back when we published our Sonic Frontiers hands-on preview a few months ago, we noted that the title would include a fishing mini-game. An off-screen video has now surfaced that provides a bit of footage, including a look at Big the Cat who we haven’t seen until now.

It’s assumed that the video was recorded at Gamescom 2022 last month. Sonic Frontiers was playable at an expo for the first time, giving many fans a hands-on opportunity. 

Splatoon 3

This week’s UK software sales are in, with Splatoon 3 topping the chart in its first week.

This marks the first game in the series to hit that mark. Splatoon and Splatoon 2 both debuted at #2. Launch sales for Splatoon 3 actually saw a 9 percent dip compared to the previous title, but keep in mind that digital sales are not factored in here. Splatoon 3 is the 21st best week one on Switch when it comes to games sold (as opposed to revenue), just behind Splatoon 2.

Here’s the latest UK sales chart:

Splatoon 3 sales

Splatoon 3 domestic sales have surpassed 3.45 million units in its first three days on the market, Nintendo has announced. That’s the highest domestic sales level for any Switch game within that timeframe.

Nintendo’s announcement seems to be based on Japanese sales only, so Splatoon 3’s total should be higher than this amount worldwide.

Today’s news is based on Nintendo’s own internal numbers. It includes both packaged and downloadable versions.

It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart. This week, Tactics Ogre: Reborn makes its first appearance.

Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between August 25 and August 31.
