Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 and Dragon Ball FighterZ sales milestone

Bandai Namco announced today that Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 and Dragon Ball FighterZ have each surpassed cumulative shipments of ten million copies worldwide. That’s based on data collected across all platforms. It’s worth noting that both titles have set new sales records for Dragon Ball console games.

According to Bandai Namco, is still has “one million monthly active users, with many fans regularly playing the game.”

Dungeons have been a staple of the Zelda series, and they’re back once again in Tears of the Kingdom. However, it sounds like they’ve received an upgrade since the last game, Breath of the Wild.

Director Hidemaro Fujibayashi, technical director Takuhiro Dohta, and art director Satoru Takizawa had a few words to say about the dungeons in a Nintendo interview. One of the more notable aspects is that they were made “unique to their respective environments”, according to Dohta. That’s in contrast to the Divine Beasts in Breath of the Wild that had similar designs. Takizawa said they were challenging to create.

Here’s the full discussion:

The developers behind The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom have talked about implementing ideas for the game that weren’t possible for Breath of the Wild. Series director Eiji Aonuma, director Hidemaro Fujibayashi, technical director Takuhiro Dohta, and art director Satoru Takizawa commented on this in a new Nintendo interview.

Dohta mentioned how with Breath of the Wild, “there were restrictions in development” since it was originally being made for Wii U. That meant even though the team was interested in flying, that wouldn’t be possible. Also, Aonuma actually wanted to dig underground, but that idea was scrapped as well – but brought back for Tears of the Kingdom.

Here’s the full discussion:

Thanks to GamesIndustry, we have new insight into the UK gaming market for April 2023.

This time around, the biggest story for Nintendo concerned hardware sales. PlayStation 5 took the top spot for consoles, but Switch increased by 26 percent over March and 30 percent over April 2022.
