According to information provided by Tencent, Nintendo has shipped one million consoles in China. That’s based on all systems that have been distributed in the country since launch back in December 2019.
Niko Partners reports that, based on Tencent’s figures, Nintendo has surpassed Sony and Microsoft as China’s biggest console device seller. Additionally, Switch selling one million units is bigger than the combined sales of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One over the same period.
Reuters notes that Switch’s “early sales were hampered by a limited number of available games and the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in China,” but later increased thanks to Ring Fit Adventure’s popularity.

A decade after its original release on DS, Monster Tale is making a comeback. Majesco Entertainment has announced plans to bring the title to “modern game platforms” in 2021.
Monster Tale Ultimate was announced for 3DS in 2015, but the project never materialized. Original developer Dreamrift had plans to spruce up “every single aspect of the adventure” with new art assets, stereoscopic 3D support, rebalanced gameplay, and the ability to switch between a new orchestral soundtrack and the original chiptune music. There were also plans for new rooms and areas, adjustments to backtracking, and rebalancing.
Here’s an official overview of Monster Tale from Majesco:
