Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
NIS America will be releasing Prinny 1-2: Exploded and Reloaded on Switch in a couple of months. As the name implies, it comes with a couple of games: Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero? and Prinny 2: Dawn of Operation Panties, Dood! While NIS America is planning a physical version, things will be a bit different on the eShop.
Those who plan on picking up the Prinny games digitally will be interested to know that the two titles will be sold individually, which is helpful if you’re only interested in one of them specifically. They’re priced at $19.99 each, so you won’t necessarily be forced to spend $40.
Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero? takes up 826MB of space. Prinny 2: Dawn of Operation Panties, Dood! comes in at 1.2GB.

The Zelda series is known for many different aspects, but its emphasis on music is right up there. We’ve seen a number of interesting details emerge from the series’ various entries such as how the main theme for Skyward Sword is Zelda’s Lullaby when played backwards.
On the topic of Zelda’s Lullaby, that comes into play once again for Breath of the Wild. It turns out that the game’s Guardian Battle them is an inversion of that classic song.

Paper Mario: The Origami King sets new launch month sales record for the series in the U.S.
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
As revealed by the latest NPD report published today, Paper Mario: The Origami King came in at #3 on the July chart. That’s not bad at all, especially considering it released during the middle of the month.
We now have some additional insight into Paper Mario’s performance in the United States. According to the NPD, Paper Mario: The Origami King managed to set a new launch month sales record for a Paper Mario title. Physical launch month dollar sales more than doubled those of Super Paper Mario. Given that digital sales aren’t factored in here, that makes this statistic even more notable.
