Furukawa acknowledged that to be the case, explaining that various factors contributed “such as the absence of sizable growth in sales of evergreen titles, particularly during the third quarter (October-December).” Japan saw a boost with Splatoon 3 and Pokemon Scarlet / Violet. Europe saw Nintendo Switch Sports and Mario Strikers: Battle League sales increase last holiday. Finally, Pokemon did very well in Asia.

More returning characters coming to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass in the future
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
In the flood of news this week stemming from the latest Nintendo Direct, something fans may have missed is that the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass DLC will be adding even more returning characters in the future.
For the first three waves, only new tracks were added. However, for the fourth round, Nintendo announced that Birdo is on the way. Confirmation of even more characters were confirmed in the Nintendo Direct recap we posted, but that was something may probably missed. We should be seeing at least two more roster additions later in 2023.
