GameStop: Switch seeing “incredibly strong” demand, Zelda has near one-to-one attach rate
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 57 Comments
GameStop has once again commented on the performance of Switch. Speaking with investors today, COO Tony Bartel spoke about how there is “incredibly strong” demand for the system.
On the software front, Switch is also doing well. Consumers appear to be buying lots of games, and Zelda: Breath of the Wild almost has a one-to-one attach rate.
Bartel said:
“The demand is incredibly strong for this. As soon as we get it into our stores, it’s out within hours. So we anticipate we’re going to be chasing supply this entire year.”
“The other thing is, every game that’s out there, to have over a five and a half attach rate to this, signifies that a lot of people are finding this a great platform and they’re picking up any games that they can. I mean, we have almost a one-to-one attach of Zelda.”

Gunman Clive creator shows videos for new 3D action-platformer, future unclear
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 15 Comments
Gunman Clive creator Bertil Hörberg has been working on an interesting-looking project for quite some time, but its future status is unclear.
Hörberg shared a couple of videos yesterday showing his new 3D action game made in a custom engine. The second video is from last February, and there’s been “very little progress” since that point. Hörberg said he’s “been thinking of scrapping it several times,” though “whenever I try come up with something else I feel like I’d actually rather do this project”. While Hörberg feels that its scope is too large and “has a lot of unsolved problems,” it may be “this or nothing at all.”
The two videos are as follows:
Both Gunman Clive games are on Nintendo platforms, so Hörberg would likely target something such as Switch if this project ever comes to fruition. If nothing else, it has a very unique style.

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 12 Comments
Stores are slowly but surely adding more Switch stock. This week for example, GameStop locations across the United States had a few more units to sell.
At Toys “R” Us, Switch will be available this weekend. The retailer has confirmed than consoles will be sold again on Saturday. Due to the high demand and low stock available, customers are advised to arrive before the doors open at 9 AM.
Toys “R” Us hasn’t indicated how many units each store will receive. If possible, you may want to try calling ahead to verify with your local store that a restock is planned.

Nintendo Treehouse Log opens on Tumblr
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 161 Comments
In the past, Nintendo of America’s Treehouse group was well-known for being closed off. But that started to change in recent years thanks to somewhat regular live streams, beginning with hours of video content during E3.
Things have now been taken one step further. Today, the Nintendo Treehouse Log opened on Tumblr.
What is this all about anyway? Here’s a quick overview from Nintendo’s Bill Trinen:
“I realize that we can’t yet really say with certainty what exactly the Nintendo Treehouse Log will become. What I can say is that it will be a place where we’ll post content periodically, rather than on a set schedule. The content will offer insight into games and franchises you love, presented from a unique Treehouse perspective. We may not cover every game or every IP, and we won’t pull the curtain all the way back, but our hope is that the Nintendo Treehouse Log will evolve into something fans will enjoy”.
And below is the first full entry:
