UK sales for March 2021
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Thanks to GamesIndustry, we have new insight into the UK gaming market for March 2021.
Switch was actually in last place for consoles, selling less than the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. That being said, Switch sales are up 13.6 percent over the first three months of 2020.
Games on Nintendo’s console also performed very well. Animal Crossing: New Horizons was the best-selling boxed game of the month, with Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury, Monster Hunter Rise, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe also in the top five.
Here’s a look at the best sellers of March:
HORI making officially-licensed Ring Fit Adventure mat
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Update (4/10): Play-Asia is taking pre-orders for the Ring Fit Adventure mat here.
Original (4/7): HORI has made a bunch of Switch accessories over the past few years, most of which are controllers. But now the company has unveiled the first ever accessory for Ring Fit Adventure.
HORI is planning to release an officially-licensed mat for the Switch title which can be used in either a folded form or fully spread depending on the exercise the player is performing. Since it’s absorbing some of the impact of you hitting the floor, it’s easier on your joints. It measures 1,800 mm x 610 mm with a thickness of 4 mm.
The Ring Fit Adventure mat is slated for June in Japan with a price point of 6,300 yen. There’s no word on a western release just yet, though importing is always an option.

Super Seducer: How to Talk to Girls and Super Seducer 2: Advanced Seduction Tactics were both announced for Switch last year. However, neither title will end up on the console after all.
Super Seducer producer Richard La Ruina recently said on Twitter that Nintendo gave its initial approval of the series, assuming the games received the “appropriate ratings.” But despite the ports being finished and going through initial QA, the company has now denied their release on Switch due to “explicit content”.
