Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Experience has shared the boxart for Mon-Yu, which we have above. The game launches this summer in Japan.
The official name was previously announced as “Monster wo Taoshite Tsuyoi Ken ya Yoroi wo Te ni Shinasai. Yuusha Tai ga Maou wo Taosu Sono Hi wo Shinjiteimasu”. It has since changed to become even longer. Experience now says the name is “Monster wo Taoshite Tsuyoi Ken ya Yoroi wo Te ni Shinasai. Shindemo Akiramezu ni Tsuyoku Narinasai. Yuusha Tai ga Maou wo Taosu Sono Hi wo Shinjiteimasu”. Mon-Yu remains the short version.

Super Rare Games is expanding its lineup of physical release on Switch with five more additions. Abzu, Deponia Collection, Inmost, Super Crush KO, and Vigil: The Longest Night will be offered in boxed form.
Most of these releases are self-explanatory. However, Deponia Collection is a bit of an outlier in that it will feature four titles: Deponia, Chaos on Deponia, Goodbye Deponia, and Deponia Doomsday.
All of these games will be sold physically through Super Rare Games later in 2021.

This month’s NPD report brought plenty of news concerning software sales in the United States for February, but there are a few hardware tidbits as well. It’s now been revealed that Switch was the best-selling platform in terms of both units and dollars.
We’ll also mention that Switch was the unit sales leader in the first quarter of 2021 as a whole. PlayStation 5 came out on top in terms of dollar sales for the period, though it’s worth noting that the console costs more.

Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Wii U | 0 comments
Mario Kart 8 has reached a major milestone in the United States. According to the latest data from the NPD, it’s now the best-selling racing genre video game in U.S. history. NPD doesn’t indicate whether that information only includes the Switch version, but we’d assume the original Wii U title is lumped in as well.
It’s worth noting that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was the sixth best-selling game in the U.S. last month. Despite being a few years old, it still manages to place high on the charts regularly.
