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.

Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Rivals of Aether: Definitive Edition has been a long time coming on Switch. It was at the start of 2018 when we first heard about a possible port of the fighter, and a release on the console was officially confirmed last August.
While we knew that Rivals of Aether would land on Switch this summer, it seems that the team originally hoped to have the game ready sometime this month. That won’t happen in the end, but the final launch isn’t too far off. September is the new target and creator Dan Fornace says it will “announce as soon as we have a date locked in.”
