This week’s North American Nintendo Downloads are as follows:

Switch Retail

Gun Gun Pixies – $49.99 (available September 10)
NBA 2K20 – $59.99 (available September 6)

Astral Chain made its debut in Japan last week. Between August 29 and September 1, it sold roughly 35,000 copies. That may seem like a small amount, but the game actually did quite well.

Dengeki reports that Astral Chain sold through 85 percent of its initial shipment. That means Nintendo didn’t go crazy with a ton of supply. In fact, some consumers reportedly encountered shortages last weekend.

Dengeki believes it’d be best to consider how Astral Chain does over a long period as opposed to specifically examining first week sales.

THQ Nordic and Airship Syndicate provided a new Darksiders Genesis trailer today highlighting the character War. Check out the video below.

In the first teaser trailer released for Deadly Premonition 2, a notice at the end stated that the game will be exclusive to Switch. Although that may initially be the case, it might not be something that’ll be maintained forever.

Rising Star Games co-founder Brjánn Sigurgeirsson told PushSquare that Deadly Premonition 2 is “Switch exclusive at launch”. Other than that, the publisher is “not discussing other platforms at this stage”. This suggests that Deadly Premonition 2 will be timed-exclusive, as opposed to permanent exclusivity.
