This week’s UK software sales are as follows:

Bandai Namco issued the first Japanese commercial for Dragon Ball FighterZ on Switch. Get a look at the short advert below.

It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart. This week, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate holds on to the third spot while Octopath Traveler ends its run at #4.

Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between July 5 and July 11.

Phrasefight

Mediascape announced today that the rhythm fighting game Phrasefight is coming to Switch. VeryOK is developing the title, which first appeared on PC and Mac earlier this year.

Phrasefight will support all of Switch play modes, including TV, handheld, and tabletop. It will also make use of HD Rumble and will allow for single Joy-Con play.

Phrasefight will be playable at Zentame 2018 between August 5 and August 5. We have a couple of videos below.

Nintendo has shared a few photos of the activity from the Nintendo Gaming Lounge at San Diego Comic-Con 2018. Check out the photos below, along with their descriptions.

Octopath Traveler

As we know, Octopath Traveler is supply-constrained in Japan after selling out. Square Enix issued an apology last weekend, and advised Switch owners to consider the game’s digital version on the eShop for the time being.

Given Octopath Traveler’s scarcity, it’s unsurprising to see that almost all of the first round of copies have been sold. Dengeki reports that the title sold through 90% of its initial shipment.

During a three-day period, Octopath Traveler sold 110,000 units. With digital copies, perhaps that number could be closer to 150,000.

Video games don’t often make the best film adaptations. Jordan Vogt-Roberts is looking to break that feeling, as he’s directing the upcoming Metal Gear Solid film.

At Comic-Con this week, IGN asked Vogt-Roberts how he’d approach making a movie based on The Legend of Zelda. Here’s what he mentioned:

2064: Read Only Memories Integral

2064: Read Only Memories Integral’s journey to Switch hasn’t exactly been smooth. Following a delay from April 5, we haven’t heard much from the developer.

We last thought that we’d finally be seeing 2064: Read Only Memories Integral next week. The game had finally received an eShop listing with a July 26 release date, and that date was also shown in a new trailer.

Take-Two has put out a few different Switch games through its subsidiaries. Back in November, Rockstar’s L.A. Noire hit the console. 2K Sports has also issued NBA 2K18 (2K19 is due out in September) and WWE 2K18.

It’s unclear just how much these titles have sold on Switch. However, Take-Two CEO Straus Zelnick has offered up an encouraging statement.
